She has elements of all the female stereotypes as she is very pretty and looks feminine however is very unconventional as she is shown to have a lot of power and authority.
The camera is at low angles, looking up to the woman to connote her dominance and her role in this drama, she isn't shown as gentle and isn't denoted as smiling throughout the scene. She holds a weapon however doesn't use it, she is shown to get her way purely from using her words.
She could be seen as the traditional woman as her aesthetics are very feminine, the mise en scene is her wearing a loose blue dress with a cape and her hair is blonde, long, curled and done up. Blue holds connotations of masculinity and is considered as a man's colour and pink being the binary opposite however dresses are typically feminine. In addition there is a big stereotype of blonde hair being, girly, ditsy, dumb as suggested by the common phrase "dumb blonde" but Daenarys is completely unconventional Though her femininity is not lost as her hair is styled and pretty. She shows traits of the stereotypical lesbian which is doing masculine roles and hating men. The man is shown calling her a "bitch" which is derogatory as women can typically be seen as bitchy, weak and sensitive and after that she starts to show her power and reveal her abilities. She has an all man army and is looked at by them from a low camera angle, when she commands them they follow. The directors present her as holding this power easily and not having to try to hard for them to be controlled by her.
