"Nya pikh. Nya pikhisht.
(My girl. My little girl.)
"
Missandei translates for Daenerys Targaryen[src]

Zalla was the three-year-old daughter of a goatherd from Meereen before she was killed by Daenerys Targaryen's largest dragon, Drogon.

Biography[]

Game of Thrones: Season 4[]

In Meereen, the goatherd brings the corpse of his daughter Zalla to Daenerys and tells the story of how a large dragon killed her with its fire. This greatly disturbs Daenerys, which results in her decision to confine Viserion and Rhaegal to the catacombs.[1]

In the books[]

In the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, Zalla's character is named Hazzea, a four year old girl who was killed by Drogon. Her father brings her burned bones to Daenerys. Daenerys is plagued by guilt and orders her three dragons caged, but Drogon escapes. Daenerys pays the father hundred times the worth of a lamb, and promises him that Hazzea's bones shall be laid to rest at the Temple of the Graces, and a hundred candles shall burn night and day in her memory. Daenerys also tells the father to come back every year at Hazzea's nameday, and she will make sure his other children shall not want, but on condition that he does not tell anyone how Hazzea died.

It is unknown why the TV series changed her name.

Notes[]

  1. In "The Children," which takes place in 301 AC, Missandei states that Zalla was 3 years old; therefore, she was born in 298 AC.
  2. In "Winter Is Coming," which takes place in 298 AC, Sansa Stark tells Cersei Lannister that she is 13 years old and Bran Stark tells Jaime Lannister that he is 10 years old. Arya Stark was born between Sansa and Bran, making her either 11 or 12 in Season 1. The rest of the Stark children have been aged up by 2 years from their book ages, so it can be assumed that she is 11 in Season 1. Arya is 18 in Season 8 according to HBO, which means at least 7 years occur in the span of the series; therefore, each season of Game of Thrones must roughly correspond to a year in-universe, placing the events of Season 4 in 301 AC.
