I was thinking that the Daenarys story is a lot like the Anakin Skywalker story, in that they both had the makings of great heroes but embraced hate after tragedies in their personal lives. I've drawn up a quick reference guide to compare and contrast.

Daenarys: "the Mother of Dragons".
Anakin: "the Chosen One."

Daenarys: born under extraordinary circumstances.
Anakin: conceived under extraordinary circumstances.

Daenarys: destined for greatness by birthright.
Anakin:  destined for greatness by birthright.

Daenarys: begins the story as another person's property.
Anakin: begins the story as another person's property.

Daenarys: becomes extremely powerful.
Anakin: becomes extremely powerful.

Daenarys: builds and commands a vast military power during the story.
Anakin: becomes commander of a vast military power later on in the story.

Daenarys: betrayed or abandoned by everyone close to her.
Anakin: betrays and abandons everyone close to him.

Daenarys: turns to the dark side after losing loved ones.
Anakin: turns to the dark side in a futile attempt to save loved ones.

Daenarys: slaughters innocents in an unthinkable act of evil.
Anakin:  slaughters innocents in an unthinkable act of evil.

Daenarys: not flammable.
Anakin:  flammable.
