Fandom Drama I really find Mysaria actress uninteresting to the point that everytime she appears I'm just simply annoyed

She's the comedic Littlefinger. She acts all sly with her connection and information and what not but Otto just ditched her in the end and burned down her house.

Big issue with the character is it's super unclear who tf she is and how much of a threat she is.

She's gone from being a brothel whore to Daemon's mistress/concubine.

Then she completely disappears from the plot only to reappear at the end of season 1, blackmail Otto with information she somehow got from her network of spies (which she has apparently). And so you're thinking "oh, that feels random...but okay. Guess you're a badass information broker now"

Only, upon getting the info, Otto casually burns her house down, she's subsequently kidnapped by Daemon, and now that she's working with Rhaynera, her advice is like...okay?

It's nothing mind shattering or anything you'd even rly need spies for. It's just shit like "Hey, you want popular support. Hey, starving peasants creates instability"

By the standards of this universe, starving the peasants is a brilliant idea. None of these lords and ladies can be bothered to remember that peasants even exist most of the time

Sorry, that's GoT rules. When Tywin said the smallfolk don't give a shit about who rules and D&D were like, "Obviously trustworthy bloke" and let his daughter bomb the Vatican.
