I paid @the-artist-grimm to give Alexander and Dahlia some new drip to wear.
Alexander, now no longer crusading as often, has hung up his cloak and chainmail for a more approachable get up: A new cape styled like his old cloak, a new black bell collar (The old one is safely in his home) and trousers (much to Dahlia's delight) but now has his chest uncovered (much to Dahlia chagrin)
Dahlia has the honour of having unique clothing unrelated to her job. Now having just a tunic and dress, the latter of which has many, many pockets added onto it for some Ćol'kotsarup cultural reasons. She still possesses the skull necklace, just so she can be by Alexander's side for even longer.
Unlike Alexander, Dahlia was somebody who just kinda slowly manifested from the ether of my mind over many after work bus trips. The only thing I can explicitly point to inspiration was her name inspiration, Dahlia Hawthorne from Phoenix Wright. Although Dahlia Mup'eep shares no personality traits with the inspiration in question.
20. If they fight, what's their weapon of choice?
She is most proficient with a pair of daggers. Note that she isn't quite proficient with them, but they're what she's best with.
When it comes to times where she had to, she also utilised Claws.
22. Fight or Flight? Are they a lover or a fighter?
She prefers flight, but when cornered she will fight like there's no tomorrow.
100% a lover. Make friends, not enemies.

Refered to as 'Granddaughter of Knowledge' by several entities, does not know the significence of this name.
So finally got around to doing one of these, saw somebody else do and decided "Heck it, why not"

Alexander:
Asexual AF and Hetroromantic. When I say "Asexual AF" I mean it, my lad has the libido of a glacier and has had only one single horny thought in his life.
He enjoys sleeping on Dahlia's chest a lot, her breathing and heartbeat really help him stay calm.
Neither really lend or borrow cloths from each other, but that's mostly because they never have to.
Whilst Alexander does express affection through words, he knows that talk is cheap but gingerbread isn't.
Alexander knows how to cook and cook well, part of the survival training he was given. He can make a lot of things into something edible.
Both of them love hugs and snuggles, once they confessed everybody else noticed how they were practically clinging to each other with how much they were cuddling in public.
Alexander is fully aware that Dahlia is mortal and tends to forget that she survivedin the lands of the Old Faith since she was a teenager.
He's had lots of experience faking relationships, not so much actually being in one. He knows what words to say and how to fake a smile, but not as much being genuine with those things.
Dahlia:
Bisexual & Panromantic. What she finds sexually attractive differs between genders, but what she finds romantically attractive does not.
Unlike Alexander, Dahlia does have a libido. She keeps it under control since she knows he's ace, but when she's drunk that inhibition is lost.
Alexander is like a big, perpetually warm cuddle plush. She also enjoys looking down andwatching his head shift with her breathing.
Dahlia uses pet names often, most commonly "Ća'eep fohf", which she delights in Alexander not knowing the meaning of.
Any affectionate actions beyond physical displays of affection Dahlia does are normally small things, she's much more of a talker.
Dahlia can survive in the wild, but that doesn't mean the food she makes is anything beyond survival rations.
She is fully aware that he's a near immortal god, so she mostly tries to keep him safe from making bad choices.
Alexander isn't Dahlia's first partner, she won't want to talk about them if you asked, however.
Dahlia has little to no fear of Alexander, giving her the unique experience of being able to tell him exactly what she's thinking and actually tell him off when he's being irrational. Other followers either think too highly of him or are too scared of retribution to do so.
