We all live in the age where pop culture is a big part of our routine and everyday conversations. All of us have fictional influences and characters who we relate to. These people might not be real, but they feel alive because of the emotions they evoke in us. All of us have rooted for the young, but wise Khaleesi to rule over the seven kingdoms.
