== History ==
=== Background ===
Like most members of the , Dahlia-Sculkwing was spawned from the Void by the Void Lord. Some mutant voidspawn, such as Dahlia and Dystopia, had unique abilities and so were given high-ranking positions in the Void Kingdom.Olaguer, Rain Allen [radapedaxa] (November 18, 2023). "They’re endless voidspawns, almost unlimited copies of each other. There are unique mutant endermen like Dystopia and Dahlia-Sculkwing who are given higher ranks." (Discord message). Retrieved December 12, 2023 — via Discord. Dahlia's void magic enabled her to locate any target, even those in other dimensions. She became an assassin based in the Void Islands, known for her relentlessness and unparalleled tracking skills.Olaguer, Rain Allen [@rainolaguer] (October 30, 2023).

=== The Brave ===
In "The Brave", the Void Lord schemed to use the Gateways to quickly invade the other End Kingdoms. The sent Captain Sora Maeda to deactivate the Gateways before the Void Kingdom could acquire control of it. Sora could use void magic to create rifts in space-time with her sword — effectively functioning as portals by which she could travel short distances. The Void Lord enlisted Dahlia to track down and kill Sora before she could do so. Presumably, Dahlia used Sora's traceable void magic to locate her."The Brave", 9:01–9:04. "Her sorceries are a beacon I can trace."
Dahlia landed behind Sora just before she would have gone through a portal which would take Sora to her destination. Using her void magic, Dahlia opens two portals and calls forth 23 voidling soldiers. While Sora quickly slays the voidlings, Dahlia suddenly throws her into the void. Sora quickly opens a portal and reappears above Dahlia. She jumps on to Dahlia's back and drives her blade through Dahlia's chest. Dahlia's body drops down on its knees and remains still.
Dahlia's body is later shown to be missing."The Brave", 8:58–9:01. Her current status is unconfirmed.
== Personality ==
TBA
== Skills ==
Dahlia is a capable tracker and combatant, wielding two curved arcane blades in battle. She was able to fly short distances like a draconic and teleport like an enderman, and was strong enough magic wise to use Void Magic to transport multiple soldiers effortlessly. She may also have some form of regenerative ability, as her missing body and messages from the Rainimator Production Team hint that she may have lived after her fight with Sora.
