A young woman in her early twenties, Shaena has the classic Braavosi look, with dark hair and brown eyes, and tanned skin. She has a curvy, voluptuous figure, with firm and full breasts. Shaena is a deeply intelligent and educated woman, having trained for all her life to be a key player in the Iron Bank. While initially she was but one of many potential heirs, and was mostly training to be married off to another banker, when Braavos fell to the Dothraki she was the last survivor.

History
Shaena L'Kainos was born into one of the most influential Keyholder families in all of Braavos. While initially she was but one of many potential heirs, and was mostly training to be married off to another banker, when Braavos fell to the Dothraki she was the last survivor. She was lucky enough to be on a ship at the time and managed to flee into the sea, but was quickly taken captive by pirates, specifically a Captain John Philips of the Revenge. Being a canny negotiator, and remembering the lust with which Aegon looked at her, she convinced the pirates that a certain someone in Volantis would pay a hefty sum in gold for her.

Upon reaching Volantis and informing Aegon of her presence, he came and sold the pirate an act of Shaena being a random noblewoman who liked to shamelessly flirt with him and mock his wife, and that he'd be buying her as revenge. After paying a paltry some for one of the most valuable women in the world, Aegon and Shaena made their way to his mansion, where they proceeded to negotiate the true terms of her service.

She refused to be branded as a slave for one, but the issue was that only Old Blood which she clearly was not and their slaves were permitted for extended periods of time within the Black Walls. And it was deemed she would be unsafe if kept beyond the Black Walls, as she was an easy target and far too valuable to leave to chance. Thus, Daenerys (who had previously struggled with jealousy against Shaena), proposed that Shaena become Aegon's concubine in truth. This way Shaena would sidestep the requirement of a slave's branding and be allowed to stay in the dragonlord manse. All children sired by Aegon would be considered his trueborn children, though behind in the line of succession to Daenerys' children. Furthermore, if she managed to revive the Iron Bank under the authority of House Targaryen, she would be promoted from concubine to a full wife.

The bargain was struck, and Shaena began her life as Aegon's first concubine and his Mistress of Coin. Her time in Volantis wasn't entirely peaceful, as she clashed with a pregnant Daenerys quite often though not of her own accord (mainly due to Daenerys being hormonal and insecure). It came to a head when Daenerys approached her and forcefully took her to bed, at which point it became a competition between the two to see who could bring the other to orgasm first.

After Aegon's successful campaign to Qohor, Shaena accompanied him on a much larger campaign to Braavos to reclaim the Iron Bank's vaults. On the way there they rescued Aegon's twin sister Princess Jaehaera Targaryen (formerly known as Joan Snow, bastard daughter of Lord Eddard Stark of Winterfell), though Shaena felt instantly threatened by the woman due to her and Aegon's obvious attraction to one another. It wasn't that Shaena couldn't stomach the idea of having to share her husband, he had quite a few women already, but that she wasn't pregnant yet and she'd be damned if she didn't bear a child of Aegon's bloodline.

Fortunately, with the success of the reclamation of the Iron Bank's vaults, Aegon was very pleased and showed his appreciation through a great many private nights with her.

Children
While it isn't quite confirmation, Shaena missed her monthly cycle for the last few weeks. Given how sexually active she and Aegon have been it seems rather obvious that she's newly pregnant.
