I did this one almost two years ago for a prompt about growing over time!
It's current Dane next to herself as a child and a teenager, both versions very closed off from the world and weary of others

Dane's been asked for her autograph a few times after performances and the encounters were so wholesome. since it doesn't happen a lot, she's always happy when someone asks
in addition to her name, she adds a little crude drawing depending on her mood

I found this in my old sketchbook from 2019, crazy how she's back to being the girl on the left (I'm happy for her)

every time this question comes up I read a bunch of lore threads about aether to continue making sense of it
if so, Dane's would be two shades of blue because of her father and the kojin's blessing, and small traces of pale orange/yellow to account for her own

compared to other inhabitants of the star, there's no way you can consider Dane dangerous. five foot zero with a strong right hook would maybe put her above the average civilian
but she does have a short history of blackmailing and digging up dirt on folks who irritated her at work

Dane's only comfortable with physical touch from her family/close group of friends, excluding casual gestures like handshakes
due to abuse and isolation as a child, she essentially had to start from scratch in adulthood to learn and accept these interactions. they don't come naturally

ffxiv is one of the best to do blonde hair, so I had to take advantage of that
I couldn't decide if I wanted to give Dane pastel blue eyes like the sea, or yellow like the sun, so heterochromia was the answer 😭 together they look like a sunrise sky

"I think taking a six hour nap would fix me."
"I think going on a run for two hours would fix me."
and there's no in-between

not at all, Dane can sing and dance and that's good enough!
if someone forced her to pick one, it'd be a type of percussion because she at least has the rhythm. but she's reaaaally bad at playing instruments

it's the passage of real time for Dane, especially as seasons and events pass to emphasize her personal growth and journey. she was 18/19 when I started, and now she's 26
the people I write with generally abide by the flow, even if it's just loosely, unless it's an ongoing/retro thread

for Dane, it's easily these two (until they add an actual mourning dove)
the jellyfish has a longer history, being her companion since stormblood was the current expac. there are multiple that live within her aquariums, all named after constellations. they are her babies 🥹🧡

Dane is an early riser and her body rarely allows sleeping in. she has a whole morning routine with exercise, showering, and breakfast!
when she has evening plans, she needs to nap in the afternoon or she gets suuuper cranky 😭 I did a funny little agenda based on what her days look like

her photoshoot/performance outfits aside, Dane only has a small pool of clothes in rotation per season lol
if she finds a sweater or pair of shorts she likes, she'll buy it in several colors. her clothes aren't luxurious by any means, and she loves collecting boots/shoes

Dane usually smells of sweat, grass, and her simple detergent, but she uses lavender perfume oil on special occasions. it's been her signature scent for years, so I always associate it with her 🪻

when Dane was dating her husband and they were in the "playing it safe" phase of their relationship, he bit down hard enough to leave a mark and she learned She Was Really Into That
he feels guilty hurting her, yet she's always asking him to do it harder 🫠

Dane compares herself to a lizard under the heat lamp when she's warm, she also calls her husband a kitten when he purrs and acts sweet
the latter is a pet name essentially sworn to secrecy, forbidden knowledge no one else will ever know. not even Hani (she will throw up)

I didn't share the individual shots before, these were canon timelines of Dane throughout my years of RP
1. First commission at the Fisherman's Guild (17)
2. Frequent trips to Kugane (20)
3. Visiting Old Sharlayan (23)
4. Present Day (26)

Dane is 5'0" but it doesn't bother her much anymore
her attitude holds regardless of how far she has to crane her neck to speak to someone. and she tops, so

I think, after several years of dodging this question in fear of getting it wrong, I have an answer: Dane would likely be the Knight of Pentacles.
She's spent years of slow, careful, diligent efforts to build her current life. Rarely taking risks, and too often absorbed in her work.
