Happy Zora Mermay! I love doing this, because it gives me a push to draw Mipha at least once in the year and I really love drawing her.

yes yes yes! I love it!! It was one of the first theories I researched after watching Gravity Falls. I have this weird relationship with it. Like I'll be 100% on board and then a week later its more like hmmmm there's a connection but I don't think its reincarnation and then I love it as a concept but am fairly sure it doesn't exist. I am obsessed with Bill and Stan's weird connection. I can't figure it out!

I do love describing them as two sides of the same coin *wink*

As an AU I can say its one of my favourites - right up there with Timestuck and fixits with the pre-portal incident twins

1: I meant affair as in "an event or sequence of events of a specified kind or that has previously been referred to", but with the double entendre that the rumour magazine was inferring Zelda had a thing for Link.

2: I created a fake trashy rumour magazine so even if it said that he was having an affair, which it didn't, the idea is that it is unreliable narrator. That's the joke.

3: No my Link isn't a two timer, he is faithful to Mipha.

Byleth and Alear's colour schemes could not be more different. First Byleth's: black, grey, bone-brass and silver for metals, and muted turquoise-y green hair.

Then Alear's: White, black, bright golden for metals, and vibrant red and blue hair.

The purple created when you mix Alear's hair colour is a brighter version of the complimentary colour of the turquoise/grey that is created when you mix the two hair colours of Byleth.

Their inverted colours are (nearly) the same as the other, minus being brighter/ more muted than the other.

Byleth has a short wolf cut (male) and a long(ish) wolf cut (female) with side swept bangs both times, Alear has massively long hair with central hime bangs (female) and a wolf cut with central layered bangs (male).

Byleth wears black, Alear wears white, Byleth's hair is green, Alear's is red and blue.

Their designs speak so well to their games, one muted and dark, the other vibrant and light. Both so well made, honestly I feel like they were made for each other with how opposite they are! I love it!

Part one:

Part three:

Thank you for the ask! :)

Alear: 

Has a massive scar where Sombron fatally wounded her, it occasionally still twinges, particularly when she’s stressed 

Likes almost every food under the sun. She's not the biggest fan of meat for breakfast, but aside from that, she isn't fussed. She loves practically everything.

She sometimes has nice dreams about children playing with her, or a sweet woman talking to her. These are vague half-heard things from her time asleep, like Queen Eve keeping her company when Lumera wasn't able to, or Alfred playing make-believe beside her bed when he was too poorly to go outside.

She never fully understands why the corrupted scare her so much.

Is the biggest sommie lover ever. She’s the sort of person to carry round photos of him and show them to everyone and then herself. She loves Sommie. So. Much.

Sleeps with Sommie on her bed when she’s frightened, or feels like she’s going to have nightmares 

She hates cooking but can. Like. Sort of. It’s bland and kind of meh, but at least it’s not what Alfred cooks. 

Sleepy. Always sleepy. Just a very tired bean. 

Only exercises and trains out of necessity, if she had it her way, she would do less of it. She is not the biggest exercise fan 

Slowly gains a few more memories after the war ends

The nightmares she gets are mainly memories that she repressed or half-forgot 

Enjoys playing with Veyle’s hair. She sometimes does haircare days with Seadall, Celine, and Veyle. 

She hated her red hair at first, but tries to start liking it, after Veyle mentioned struggling with accepting her Fell heritage. 

Plays the piano and sings well, that and polishing weapons and jewellery are some of her favourite hobbies 

If she was in a modern au she would be a bit of a gamer

Alfred: 

Literally a menace of a brother. Has stolen Celine’s makeup, hair kit, and perfume before, but also buys her the best teas ever so, she doesn’t complain (too much!) 

When he was sick as a child he cuddled Sommie a lot (because his family visited the Somniel and Lumera was a family friend)

Very fussy eater, he only eats ‘healthy’ food, and also crepes on occasion. He does like crepes. 

The WORST cook ever. Absolutely disgusting. 0/10 never let him cook

Picked up the flute to strengthen his lung capacity, and has become rather good at playing

He didn’t have many friends as a child, because he spent long stretches of it bed ridden, so he would play imagination games with Alear the Dragon princess, and Alfred the cool-and-strong prince. Most of them involved playing tag together but sometimes he would imagine them battling against evil armies (there was always a bad wizard who caused sicknesses in those) 

As a child he needed mobility aids, and particularly liked his wheel-chair (which he used with a hobby-horse sometimes) and later in life, when he had attacks of his illness, he had to use mobility aids again

Like the Pinterest of the Somniel. If Rosado is ever art-blocked he’ll just go and sketch Alfred 

He’s canonically a very handsome guy (Sharina’s intro etc) but he’s fairly oblivious to it. 

With such muscular retainers, and people like Seadall around, he can sometimes feel quite insecure 

Etie: 

Buff as heck. I don’t care about the character model. She’s ripped

Quite intense as a gym friend. She and Alfred sometimes egg each other on too much, and Boucheron has to step in to make sure they don’t hurt themselves via overexercising 

She has given Alfred food poisoning before with one of her ‘muscle stimulants’ 

Can jog for longer than Alfred. He is very jealous. 

She can almost lift the same weight as Boucheron, if she really pushes herself, and is working up to beating him in deadlifts 

Veyle: 

She keeps pieces of Alear’s dragon stone with her always, and eventually makes some of them into two rings, so she and Alear can always be connected 

Her spice tolerance is higher than anyone in the army

She doesn’t like milk or cream that much 

She needs her hair trimmed a lot, but mainly the black bits. She gets a lot of split ends. 

She really likes swimming, and is regularly at the pool 

Plays tactical RPGs with Robin and Lucina’s emblems.
