Missandei has been trained to speak the [[Common Tongue]] of [[Westeros]], [[High Valyrian]], and bastard Valyrian. {{Ref|aSoS|23}} {{Ref|aSoS|27}} She has some knowledge of [[Ghiscari]]. {{Ref|aSoS|42}} Missandei was taught to refer to herself as "this one" instead of using first-person pronouns. She still uses the phrase out of habit, but tries to drop said habit.: {{Ref|aSoS|71}}

Missandei and her brothers were born at [[Naath]]. She remembers [[Mossador]] teaching her to climb trees. {{Ref|aDwD|11}}

At one point Kraznys joked that Missandei should tell " "Arstan WhitebeardBarba-Branca" (na verdade, [[Barristan Selmy]]) that the old man had the smell of piss and could not stand without his walking stick. Missandei took the joke literally, but Kraznys prevented her from translate his insults. He had her claim that there was a rival buyer, a "corsair king", though Missandei reminded him that the corsair was only interested in 100 Imaculados. Not more. {{Ref|aSoS|23}} When Kraznys ended his pitch and offered to show Astapor to Daenerys, Missandei edited his words to sound more polite and pleasant. Leaving out entirely the sexual proposals of Kraznys. {{Ref|aSoS|23}}

When Daenerys entered Astapor to complete the deal, Missandei walked to the left side of da [[the Silvera Prata|Prata]]. She pointed at the Plaza of Punishment and explained why it stood at the front of the main gate. So that new slaves could witness first-hand the fate of rebellious slaves. {{Ref|aSoS|27}} At the meeting, Kraznys still gave orders to Missandei. Despiter no longer owning her. He commanded her to translate for him. Missandei left some of his phrases untranslated, such as "whore of Westeros". She witnessed the [[Sack of Astapor]], though her activities during it were not covered. {{Ref|aSoS|27}}

During the initial conflict with [[Yunkai]], Missandei explained to Daenerys that the Yunkai'i speak a Valyrian dialect. One different from the dialect of Astapor, but close enough to be understandable. She also pointed that the ruling class dubbed themselves [[Wise Masters]]. {{Ref|aSoS|42}} The night before a battle, Dany was too restless to sleep. Missandei offered to sing her a lullaby of the Peaceful People, but was turned down. Dany has her summon "Arstan WhitebeardBarba-Branca" ([[Barristan Selmy]]). {{Ref|aSoS|42}} After a three-day siege of Yunkai, the Wise Masters released a large number of slaves to Daenerys. Missandei explained to them that they owed their freedom to Daenerys. She then had to translate their new term for Daenerys: "Mhysa", [[Ghiscari]] for "Mother". {{Ref|aSoS|42}}

During the [[Siege of Meereen]], [[Belwas]] won a duel against [[Oznak zo Pahl]]. But survived the fight with a bleeding wound. Daenerys was worried about the wound getting infected, so she send Missandei to locate a healer. The man, unnamed in the text, was a Yunkish freedman "renowned for his skill in the healing arts". {{Ref|aSoS|57}} Dany later called for Missandei to have the Silver and the girl's own [[horse]] saddled, in preparation for a visit to the camps. Missandei offered to call the [[bloodrider]]s to serve as guards, but Daenerys chose "Arstan" instead. When [[Mero]] attempted to assassinate Daenerys, Missandei called for help. "Arstan" was able to wound Mero, preventing him from completing the murder. Meanwhile Missandei pulled Dany back on her feet. A number of freedmen, likely responding to Missandei's calls, then attacked Mero. He was torn apart. {{Ref|aSoS|57}}

While contemplating gods, Daenerys recalled Missandei's narrative concerning the [[Lord of Harmony (god)|Lord of Harmony]]. Later recalling other details concerning [[Naath]], all deriving from Missandei. She noted growing very fond of the girl. {{Ref|aSoS|71}} With Meereen fallen, Daenerys chose a [[the Great PyramidGrande Pirâmide]] as her new seat. Missandei, [[Irri]], and [[Jhiqui]] moved to the royal apartments with her. Missandei slept in her own bed. {{Ref|aSoS|71}} When Missandei served her breakfast, Dany asked her a question concerning the flies of Naath. Missandei responded that Naath has butterflies. Daenerys promised Missandei to take her "home" to Naath one day. Though Missandei replies that she was content to stay with the Targaryen. {{Ref|aSoS|71}} While contemplated her various allies and supporters in terms of reliability, Daenerys noted fearing betrayal by all of them. Missandei, Jhiqui, Irri, [[Grey WormVerme Cinzento]], [[Ben Plumm]], and [[Daario Naharis]] all looked suspect in her eyes. {{Ref|aSoS|71}}

Daenerys was surprised to find that several men of Meereen volunteered to become slaves, in exchange for transport to [[Qarth]]. She decided to allow for any man or woman to sell himself/herself. But forbid anyone to sell their children, or wives. She was initially content to have no profit from the sales. But Missandei pointed that in Astapor the sales were taxed. The city took 1/10 of the money earned in a slave sale. Daenerys decided to adopt the same measure for Meereen. Adding some much needed gold to the royal coffers. {{Ref|aSoS|71}}

Missandei took on the role of herald for [[Daenerys Targaryen]].{{Ref|aDwD|2}} {{Ref|aDwD|55}} Ar night, Missandei woke up Daenerys to inform her that [[Stalwart Shield]] was murdered. Daenerys moved to the hall, waiting for the corpse to be transfered for examination. {{Ref|aDwD|2}} During the day, Missandei announced the entry of Daenerys to the hall, signaling the beginning of the daily audience with envoys and petitioners. Missandei used the same opening line every day:{{Ref|aDwD|2}}

Missandei reminded Daenerys of her arranged meeting with Reznak and Galazza. Called to discuss wedding preparations. {{Ref|aDwD|36}} When [[Daario Naharis]] brought news that [[Ben Plumm]] and the [[Second Sons]] had defected to the enemy, there were varying reactions in the court of Meereen. Surrounded by the voices of her advisors, Daenerys asked them to be quiet. She noted that only Missandei heard her the first time. Dany had to raise her voice and repeat the order to silence them. {{Ref|aDwD|36}} Two night prior to her wedding, Daenerys had a sexual encounter with Daario. In the morning, Missandei asked about her health. Having overheard the sounds of the lovemaking, but having misunderstood their meaning: {{Ref|aDwD|43}}

When Daenerys disappeared on [[Drogon]]'s back, her consort Hizhahr took full control of Meereen. He had Missandei dismissed from her duties as herald and replaced. Citing that it was undignified for a king to use a child as a herald. He also thought it undignified to use a former slave for the position. Pointing at the low social status of Missandei as a freedwoman. {{Ref|aDwD|52}} {{Ref|aDwD|55}} Irri and Jhiqui moved out of the royal apartments, leaving Meereen with most of Daenerys's [[Dothraki]] ''[[khalasar]]''. The khalasar has set out to search the [[Dothraki Sea]] for their missing queen. Hizhar had chosen to establish his own suite of rooms, and the [[cupbearers of copeiros de Daenerys Targaryen|cupbearers of copeiros de Daenerys]] moved with him. Leaving Missandei the only occupant of the royal apartments, described by Selmy as a "forlorn little ghost". {{Ref|aDwD|55}}

Barristan Selmy continued sharing the apex of the Great Pyramid with Missandei, having his own cell by the royal apartments. {{Ref|aDwD|55}} {{Ref|aDwD|59}} Missandei approached him in the terrace, overhearing the knight voicing his thoughts. He wondered whether Daeneys was flying home to Westeros. The soft voice of Missandei replied from behind him, startling Selmy. He had not heard her approach, nor felt her standing right behind him. She assured him that Daenerys would not leave without them. But then switched topics to the real reason she approached him, transferring a message from Skahaz. She explained that the former leader of the [[Brazen Beasts]] still entered and exited the Pyramid at will. He asked for a secret meeting with Selmy. Selmy send his own reply through the former herald. {{Ref|aDwD|55}}

Before his coup d'etat against Hizhahr, Selmy visited the royal apartments. Finding Missandei among her reading material, piles of scrolls and books. He warned her to not leave the queen's chambers for no reason during that night. {{Ref|aDwD|67}} Selmy deposed Hizdahr in a coup d'etat and was proclaimed Queen's Hand, ruling in the name of the missing Daenerys. He arranged for the mortally wounded Quentyn Martell, burned by [[Rhaegal]] to be transferred to the bed of Daenerys. Missandei took care of the wounded man for three days, sitting at his bedside night and day. Offering him water and [[milk of the poppy]]. Barristan tried to arrange some assistance for her efforts. But the cupbearers feared the sight of the burned Dornishman, and the [[Blue Graces]] did not reply to his summons. Missandei reported the death of Quentyn just before the dawn. She was certain that the "[[Dorne|Dornish]] gods" took him home and that Quentyl smiled at death, finally beyond pain. Barristan kepts his thoughts on the matter to himself, that Quentyn had no lips to smile. {{Ref|aDwD|68}} {{Ref|aDwD|70}}

Missandei was interested in the fate of Quentyn's corpse. But Selmy reminded her to get some proper sleep, in her own bed instead of a chair. She offered the same advise to him, having noted that Selmy gets little sleep at night. {{Ref|aDwD|70}} Missandei aids Ser Barristan in taking control of the court of Meereen. He used one of her ideas in negotiations with the enemy. He offered ransom for the release of the hostages ([[Daario Naharis]], [[Hero]], [[Jhogo]]) , each man's weight in gold. While the Wise Masters neither want nor need the gold, their mercenaries are likely to support the deal. Creating division in the enemy ranks. Selmy finds Missandei's strategy reminiscent of both [[Petyr Baelish]] (whose plans included bribes) and [[Varys]] (whose plans included fostering division in the enemy ranks). {{Ref|aDwD|70}}
