Gosh this is late. I intended for this to be originally finished and uploaded for Valentine's Day, but between the amount of work this one ended up being and also having to finish up my piece for this year's Pokemon Day, it kind of got delayed a fair bit. Pity, since the Day of Devotion banner is way old news now...but I'm super happy with how this turned out, so there's that!

I thought the concept for this year's Day of Devotion banner in FEH was adorable! (Being sad about the lack of Sharena aside...). So I couldn't help being inspired to draw something for it. Seeing Alfonse's leaf crown made me think, "I wish he had a flower crown..." and then my brain went, "What if Kiran gave him a flower crown?" and I just...ran with it. Basically, I love their bond and wanted to draw something cute and sweet. Honestly this is very self-indulgent lol.

I actually ended up looking up lots of flower language for picking the flowers I chose, both for the flower crown and my version of Kiran's floral adornments. Alfonse's crown consists of gardenias (which symbolize trust, gentleness, secret love, hope), and forget-me-nots (which symbolize unbreakable bonds, faithfulness, true love, and memories), both of which I thought suited Alfonse and Kiran's close bond pretty well. Kiran's flower pin is a light pink rose (which symbolizes gratitude, grace and joy), and the flower in her hair is a white and pink hibiscus (with white hibiscuses symbolizing femininity, beauty and love, while pink ones symbolize friendship and love of all kinds). Kiran's earrings aren't flowers, but I still went with the plant motif with four-leaf clovers (which of course, are a symbol of luck).

Talking about Kiran... I really enjoyed coming up with a Day of Devotion outfit for my version of her! I did some sketches when I was figuring out what her outfit would be like. I may upload those some time in the future. I really, really love how her hair turned out too, compared to the drawings I've uploaded of her before. I do wish that my Kiran here looked more recognizable as being the Summoner, though. Maybe I should've made the outfit more in-line with the Summoner coat, colour-wise? I feel like that would've looked too similar to Alfonse's outfit though. And I do like the blue-green colours on Kiran, so *shrug*.

I also used softer brushes than my go-to style, so it's very...idk how to put it, a little more painterly than usual? I dunno, but I'm super happy with it.

Anyways, that's enough rambling for now. Stealthclaw, out!
