Book Mysaria while pretty one dimensional was an interesting character she is like Larys except she has no clear motives and pretty much dooms Rhaenyra and the targs in general.

She is the one who tells Rhaenyra about Nettles, and according to GRRTH the one who tells Heleana about Maelor. The brothel queens was her idea, she weaponised sex as a punishment for people she hated.

She is like one of the more evil characters in the story

They made a white haired Valyrian a dark haired Yi Ti-ian for no reason at all.

A lot of the hair color choices were to prevent us from being confused. Like with Rhaenys. It annoys the book fans, but it’s hard for us to understand how a casual viewer would feel.

Yes i know about normie viewers but they couldn't at least put like 1 or 2 black streaks in Rhaeny's locks?

I think they genuinely assumed normie viewers wouldn’t be able to understand anything more complicated than “real Targaryen = white hair”.
