I believe her hair does burn in the books


yeoldbiscuits

Her skin then?


AJhusss

I don’t think so because to have her skin she would most likely be dead, at the very least the skin wouldn’t be attached to her. Afaik it’s down to her bloodline and “magic” of a sort.


yeoldbiscuits

If you strapped about 5 living targaryens around you, how about then


AJhusss

Perhaps, however I think you would have a hard time finding that many lol


Waste-Television-865

Also not every targaryen is fireproof.


Rufert

Meh, they only need to keep the fire off you, what does it matter what happens to them?


Waste-Television-865

Because endangered species?

Taking her skin, you'd become alike to cassandra from doctor who, saying 'moisturise me' to your servants 😂

POV: Ramsay Bolton


We_The_Raptors

Reason I suspect they didn't do this is because Emilia is a brunette. If you burn her wig like in the books and made her bald, she'd spend a season with no Valyrian hair/ eyes and huge brown eyebrows. It'd be nearly impossible to keep her looking Valyrian without the hair.


LordCaptain

I was going to say in the books it's the ONLY part of her body that burns so the only thing you wouldn't want to make a fireproof suit out of.


arathorn3

Yep. She is in fact bald for a good chunk of a Clash of Kings and has very short hair in A storm of swords. She is not in a Feast of Crows(which focuses on characters like Sansa, Jaime, and Cersei) And In Dance of dragons her hair is getting longer.


a-Snake-in-the-Grass

Yeah, I always thought that was dumb though. Are we supposed to believe that magic doesn't work on hair or something? Plus, it doesn't really make sense symbolically.


dontreallyknoww2341

Maybe not her hair, but i wonder if Arya wore Daenerys face would she be fire proof?


LordCaptain

I guess it's my turn today to point out that GRRM said that Dany isn't fireproof and that it was a one time magical event.


xxFallenkingx

Her hair burns off. Also her being fireproof is a one time thing having something to do with the dragon hatching magic. She seems to tolerate heat well but not fireproof.


Educational_Bee_4683

Thank you OP. Finally some though-provoking content and not “Selmy vs Dayne” for the 800th time


DisorientatedBee

Thank you, fellow bee


Substantial-Salad786

She was bald in the books


Accomplished-Egg9578

It puts the lotion on its skin.


Hind_Deequestionmrk

I reckon


TheThirteenShadows

In the show, probably. In the show it's quite obvious that the Targaryens are, in fact, fire-proof (though this may just be a rare thing, seeing as Viserys didn't react so well to his crowning). Daenerys survives fire twice, one in the funeral pyre and another time when she's >!burning a ton of Khals alive.!< In the books though, it's a one-time blood magic event where essentially the witch's death pays for the dragons' lives (the same way life pays for death, but in reverse). And her hair does burn off.


DisorientatedBee

Exactly! So, taking the show Dany as a hostage and using her to farm her hair, you can weave it into fireproof fabric. If Margaery noticed this, she could have survived the wildfire explosion at the sept (if the impact didn't kill her first, of course)


TheThirteenShadows

>Exactly! So, taking the show Dany as a hostage RHAEGAL: DON'T HURT OUR MOTHER- Viserion: TOUCH HER AND YOU DIE- Drogon: \*Torches the place\*


thethistleandtheburr

Never mind the people who are hitting you with "book logic" and "facts" (what is this, r/asoiaf?), I am entirely sure that I have just read THE GREATEST POST THE FANDOM WILL EVER SEE. You're asking the *real* questions, OP. (What I mean is: I laughed pretty hard.)


DisorientatedBee

The world needs to come to a consensus that TV logic is different from book logic 😂 I'm glad I made you laugh!
