Alright, let's be honest here... a campaign with romance becomes just a little bit more interesting... So... if YOU had to date a D&D character, who would it be? Describe this significant other... what is his/her/their race? Class? Alignment? Background? Describe their origin and personality! Be creative and design your partner while aligning him/her/them with your personal preferences! Enjoy!
On the one hand, this is an interesting sort of discussion seed. A different corollary to the "what would your perfect D&D You be?", and it's got me thinking.
On the other hand, lavishly detailing your perfect partner with all the bells and whistles, laying out every detail to fit your fevered imagination, is one of those things where you're left sitting there going "is this really okay? Does this make me a creeper? Am I on a watch list after this?" It's the sort of thing you kinda picture sweaty neckbeards in stained boxers and Cheeto sweaters doing in their basement with unhealthy giggles next to a waifu pillow. Probably why there hasn't been any real takers on this thread so far, on top of people just not really being interested in other people's D&D waifus/hasbandos
Oh well.
A tiefling woman (because **** you tiffles are sexy), an artificer. Background Sailor, Far Traveler, or something else well-traveled, or perhaps Folk Hero for that rustic people's charm. Honestly, several backgrounds work. Alignment whatever, so long as she's not an axe murderer. She's a wicked little minx with a sharp tongue and sharper wit, the sort of gal who loves a good joke even at her own expense. Loves to read, loves to play games. Ironically, the sort of gal who'd absolutely be willing to play D&D with her partner, and be really good at it to boot. An inveterate handywoman and tinkerer, and someone who likes to teach those skills as well - a hands-on woman to balance out my own brainiac, hands-deficient nature. The kind of woman who feels like spending an evening simply talking about whatever topics fascinate us is as worthwhile a use of time as an expensive date or a night of lewdity.
She doesn't need to be a Famous Super-Adventurer or a high-level twister of worlds. First level is fine - after all, she's ostensibly dating me, the pointless pile of flesh behind the sheet/screen, not any of my characters. But...yeah. Someone willing to live an easy, relaxed life in between her adventures and share it with someone else willing to appreciate her inventiveness, cleverness, and charm as well as cherish the slow days with her.
And now I'm on a list somewhere. Hueh. Goddamnit Rei.
Definitely succubus. Preferably several succubi at the same time. If I can have my cake and eat it too, they all love me and would not take my soul away, so I guess they can be any non-evil alignment. As for their origins, they are sick of evil of the lower planes and want to do something better with their lives, kind of like odd groups of drow leaving the underdark trying to find a better home on the surface.
If we are talking about strictly PC options, then I would go with a neutral high elf wizard. It would be nice to have a partner to share the same hobby of learning the arcane arts and explore the multiverse together. A background mix of sage and archaeologist would be nice to fit with the traveling scholar theme.

Pretty sure a non-evil succubus would cease to be a succubus; in fact, they’d likely outright cease to exist.
Non-evil fiends have existed in D&D. So they don't cease to exist unless they're not quick enough when it comes to getting away from their evil brethren.

Find your own truth, choose your enemies carefully, and never deal with a dragon.
"Canon" is what's factual to D&D lore. "Cannon" is what you're going to be shot with if you keep getting the word wrong.

Depends on how evil evil is. Perhaps they simply hang the toilet roll the wrong way around, put the milk in first whilst making tea, or make microwave nachos whilst you're trying to win online gaming so the wifi drops out.

If official lore would not let me have my cake and eat it, I am going to have my cake and eat it anyways using my GM powers via rule zero. Neither lore, mechanics, dice, natural law, nor divinity can stop me!

I will disagree and say that no, a campaign with romance can be cringe worthy, awkward and horrific to play through and make the experience so much worse. It depends on players, DM, setting and so many more things.

Out walking, so I'll play with this later, but definitely a Bronze Dragon with levels of Bard. 😄
Change Shape is a great ability.
Sam Reigel.
Human Fighter, Lawful Good, with a Folk Hero background. Honest, loyal, enjoys the simple things in life.
Wizard (Gandalf) of the Tolkien Club
Someone with a really high charisma.

I would say Strahd from Curse of Strahd (and a few other games), as long as you are fine with the possibility of him turning you into a vampire
Even with the curse?

I don't feel I need to elaborate much more than this, but: Changeling.

Please do not contact or message me.
Trying to answer this question is how I create most of my NPCs.
While not my name sake or their partner
I think my best bet when it comes to looks is bedrock (a stunning stone born* female paladin)
when it comes to personality it would come down to my gay ass jokestar bard or maybe my gay pirate assasin
The npc´s I made called truth and therice are pretty hot but also both taken (same with my namesake)

If we are talking about strictly PC options, then I would go with a neutral high elf wizard. It would be nice to have a partner to share the same hobby of learning the arcane arts and explore the multiverse together. A background mix of sage and archaeologist would be nice to fit with the traveling scholar theme.
