Whenever Apo feels lost or doesn’t know what to do, they will start acting like their father or make choices their father would make.

For the beginning of their stay in Bannerfall Cherri didn’t think she was allowed to make friends with anyone who wasn’t a knight. 

Apo still compares Cherri to the sun, as well as a rose. 

A way Cherri shows that she sees Apo as an equal by the end of Bannerfall is by letting her stand in their blindside. (Cherri always saw Apo as above her due to her position. Someone they wanted but could never be with.)

When Cherri adopted the Prince she tried to be strict the way people were with her as a kid but couldn’t really bring herself to be like them. They were constantly trying to show the Prince they would always be there for him and provided a lot of comfort they never got as a kid. 

Apo and Cherri are still constantly in each other's space. They enjoy each other's company and feel safe with each other. 

Cherri hates getting sand thrown in her face because the blindness reminds her of the time, she lost one of her eyes. (The King of Thornhelm shoved a torch against one side of her face.) It sends them into a panic attack, believing they are going blind permanently. 

Cherri can adapt to changes better than Apo. 

Apo does a lot of self-reflecting whenever they feel like they messed up. (It was one of the few things she could do when locked in her room.)

Cherri has thorn scars on their body from when they were a kid and were put to fight against Thornhelm mages to see if their magic would show itself.
