@@zoruasnivy Is that ever truly established though?

Naw the rugged part was fine as its true - she is more rugged than her brother and could easily out last him in most physical tasks. The mistake was combining it withe other two. Pretty sure only WoL could get away with a head pat and only if there was nobody around.

[@azadalamiq]

you can clearly tell them apart though... ali as more puffy cheeks and a pouty lip, alphi is more angular with thinner lips.

[@Twocoolman115]

@Trash Person did you see what Alphinaud was wearing 2.X? I doubt that’s the weirdest thing he’s worn either.

[@LupusAries]

I wonder why she explodes so much...... :D Given her first reaction on the too long...was she crushing on him until he put his foot in his mouth? The Foot stomp and screaming is a rather realistic display of sisters at that age! ;) And for the record Alphinaud looks rather feminine in some regard...put him in the wrong clothing, put some lipstick on him and many would mistake him for a girl. As for the Lips, well on what we assume is a man we do not notice, on a girl, different story....the slightly more pronounced angularity of Alphinaud's features is minimal. That's like trying to tell a Bf 109 F-4 apart from a Bf109 G-2, which without further information often stumps seasoned Bf109 enthusiasts. Serioiusly I've flown virtual Bf109s for more than 20 years, I know them inside out, and I'm often stumped when trying to tell those two apart.
