Why Black Aly’s Introduction in House of the Dragon Season 3 is Long Overdue: A Key Player in Westeros’ Future

As the second season of House of the Dragon comes to a close, fans are eagerly anticipating the introduction of a significant character who has been missing from the show so far: Black Aly, also known as Alysanne Blackwood. With a pivotal role in the book Fire & Blood, Black Aly’s absence from the series has been noticeable, particularly given her importance to Daemon’s storyline. Her family, the Blackwoods, play a crucial part in Daemon’s story, making Black Aly’s omission striking.

In Fire & Blood, Black Aly is responsible for killing Amos Bracken, a rival Lord, with an arrow after he defeats her brother, Samwell Blackwood. This moment showcases Black Aly’s bravery and determination, highlighting her as a powerful woman who defies the oppressive gender roles in Westeros’ society. Her introduction is long overdue, as the show focuses on the burdens of gender roles, and her varied portrayal would flesh out its message.

Black Aly’s significance extends beyond her military prowess and romantic relationships. She fights alongside the Blackwood army, commands 300 Riverland archers, and has a rumored relationship with Lady Sabitha Frey. Her most notable contribution comes after the war, when she serves as an emissary for her young nephew, Benjicott Blackwood. During the Hour of the Wolf, Cregan Stark, Hand of the King, and Corlys Velaryon were able to come to peace, thanks in large part to Black Aly’s efforts.

Black Aly’s character would be a welcome addition to the show, bringing a new perspective to the story. Her willingness to defy societal norms and take charge of her own destiny would inspire fans, and her contributions to the rebuilding of Westeros would be invaluable. With the show’s focus on strong women, Black Aly’s introduction would be a fitting addition to the narrative.
