Graceful Dahlia (優美なるダリア, Yūbi-naru Daria^?) is a Scythe that can be wielded by Marluxia in Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days.

In Kingdom Hearts II Final Mix, Kingdom Hearts: Chain of Memories, and Kingdom Hearts Re:Chain of Memories, the Graceful Dahlia is his only weapon canonically. Other weapons including the joke weapon can be seen in 358/2 Days by using other weapon panels while playing as Marluxia.

Design

The handle of the Graceful Dahlia is long, pastel green, and curved. There are two small, gold rings near the top of the handle. There is a small, black section at the base of the handle, and an equally small, gold section just above that. The main blade is curved, rose pink, and has black under edges. There is another vaguely oval-shaped blade attached to the top of the handle. This smaller blade is also rose pink with black edges. The two blades are connected by a cross shape that resembles the top half of the Nobody insignia that is white with gold and dark rose pink edges. The overall design of Graceful Dahlia gives it the appearance of a plucked flower.

During Marluxia's brief appearance in the opening sequence of Kingdom Hearts II, the cross design on the upper part of this scythe is hollow.

"Dahlia" is a fairly small genus of flowers. "Graceful" means "elegant" and refers to Marluxia's title within Organization XIII, the "Graceful Assassin".

Gameplay

The ground combo consists of two horizontal swings, followed by an upper swing before being brought down as a combo finisher. Before the upper swing, the button can be pressed for a leaping diagonal upper swing before a descending spinning attack that hits multiple times as a combo finisher. The aerial combo begins with a quick upward slash to the left and finishes with a circular-angled slash.
