I have a long history with these two OCs in particular, well before I brought the boy in blue to FFXIV. Due to several reasons, few of them happy, I was never able to finish their story, or even do half of the things I wanted to with them, both main times I've attempted...
Third time's the charm.

Yeah, I wanted somewhere that was snowy and not in the game. (If they ever do add it officially I am a little screwed but eh, I'll cross that bridge when we get there)

The adventure thus embarked for the last one is too grand a tale for so few words: A journey of discovery, redemption, and connection...
but that will be a story for another time.

Despite her insistence on going alone, the pair would see this mystery through to the end, lending their aid in tracking down and confronting the thieves: But only one of two showed their face. Despite their hard won victory, the second culprit, and the final sword, eluded her still.

If there's anything I've learned is that inspiration comes in waves. Some days you'll feel more motivated than ever, other times it might be weeks before you feel up for it. It'll come back in time.

Though they seemed noble, the younger of the two appeared to hold the very blade of water she sought. But before she drew steel, the Elezen man came to his defense, stating that the boy had possessed it long before it was even stolen: It was a perfect, yet entirely impossible replica.

Her only clue was a singular phrase mentioned by one of the thieves: A reference in passing to the Kami. Recognizing the word's origin, she sailed for the Far East. It was not long after her arrival that she would meet two rather strange individuals; a wandering swordsman and his young companion.

Two thieves, wielding a power greater than mortal man, came to claim their treasure. Outnumbered and outmatched, Alhena was soundly defeated, and the criminals made off with the swords.
She did not even wait for her wounds to heal: As soon as she was able to stand, Alhena set off in pursuit.

Ensis Nimbus, Ensis Magnus, and Ensis Elvytta: Three blades holding within them the power of the sky, the land and the sea. Their origins remained a mystery, but as far back as history records, her people have served as their guardians. For years, she stood vigil over them in solitude and silence...

The fourth in her bloodline to serve as sentinel, Alhena Stellazzia spent most of her life in an isolated village far to the north, save for a brief two years abroad to study elemental magicks. Upon her return, she would accept her role as protector of her home's greatest treasures...

15. Cute screenshot/art of ship?
Yeah I've got nothing for you there.
As an apology please accept this entirely unrelated image of the Coerthas Central Highlands FATE boss Downy Dunstan.

14. What differences are there to canon story? Canon appearance?
None to the story really. As for appearance, as of Endwalker his left hand was permanently damaged and should be very badly scarred, which is obviously impossible to portray in-game so it is instead covered by a glove 24/7

13. What did they lose to the calamity? Where were they when it hit?
Calco was in the middle of his little "trapped in stasis for 11 years" thing, way over in Thavnair, so he couldn't have missed the entire thing more if he tried.

12. Favorite allied society?
Not really? I guess whichever one is current/new, but he's fairly indifferent toward most of them. Probably a very slight bias towards Arkasodara though just because he's the most familiar with them.

11. Canon minion/pet?
Yep. That's him. You're probably wondering how he got there.

10. What do they do for quiet, enjoyable moments?
Reading by solitary firelight. So simple yet so true.

9. For which city state would they represent best? A particular organization?
I suppose Thavnair would be the obvious choice. He still has certain gripes with pretty much all the Eorzean ones...mostly Ul'dah.

8. Who taught them their combat style? Self taught? Any favorited weapon/tool?
He learned archery from his adoptive mother, but other than that most if it comes from either study (for magic) or just improvising until he figures it out. The Soul Crystals help immensely there. As for weapon...

7. Occupation or side gigs?
Well before he was the Warrior of Light, he was a scholar of aetherology. Not only has that not changed in the least, but he's focused much heavier on understanding Dynamis in recent months.
