Doreah

Doreah is a recurring character in Game of Thrones. She is played by guest star Roxanne McKee and débuts in the second episode of the first season.

Doreah is a slave gifted to Daenerys Targaryen by her brother, Viserys (though paid for by Illyrio Mopatis), to serve as a handmaid and companion.

Season 1
Doreah tells Daenerys a story about how there used to be two moons in the sky. The second moon wandered too close to the sun and cracked open, spilling a thousand dragons into the world. Her story is dismissed as nonsense by Dany's other handmaidens, Irri and Jhiqui. Daenerys asks Doreah's advice on how to please Khal Drogo in bed and Doreah tutors her in the sensual arts. She also shows Daenerys how to use her sexuality to establish herself as someone worthy of Drogo's respect.

Doreah pleasures Viserys and tells him that she has always wanted to see a dragon. Viserys is initially amused by the discussion, but when it reminds him of the destruction of his house at the hands of the usurper, he grows annoyed with Doreah, and forces her to 'pleasure him' which she does so rather unenthusiastically. Later, insulted at being 'commanded' by a lesser, he beats Doreah and drags her through the tents of Vaes Dothrak after Daenerys sends Doreah to ask him to dinner.

After Viserys' death, which Doreah witnesses, she is part of Daenerys' retinue as Dany inspects the market at Vaes Dothrak. She is present when a wineseller tries to poison Daenerys. She remains by Dany's side during the Khalasar's raid on the Lhazar. She remains with Dany during the sickness of Khal Drogo.



In the books
In the Song of Ice and Fire novels, Doreah is from the Free City of Lys. She is beautiful and has an unusual look compared to Daenerys's other Dothraki servants, Irri and Jhiqui. Doreah's role is to instruct Daenerys in the 'womanly arts of love'.
