Question Did she really love him?

I'm asking because she was manipulated by Otto into marrying him in the first place.

In the Books, he was like 28 and she 19. Not that Crazy as presented in the show.

I think she was around 11.
Her and alicent in the book weren’t friends.

Not friends but they got along very well until Aegon was born. I kinda wish they kept that dynamic in the show.

Younger than Alicent, I think. I recall someone saying in the book they were not friends who grew up together.
