I'm writing a short story for an assignment. The daughter is 2nd-in-command and she leads part of her father's army. I'm trying to set up a relationship b/c later in the story she has to choose between saving her father or saving her troops. And I want to make a good relationship, so the readers know that she is struggleing and stuff.
So I have her kiss him, is it realistic?

“Daddy!” Alessia called out. Her dark, thick curls bobbed up and down as Alessia made her way towards Will. Leading countless battles, Alessia had always triumphed. Her face and armor was stained with blood and dirt from her latest victory. Whereas Will’s face showed signs of fatigue from the constant fighting over the decades, Alessia’s was always brimming with energy, lit up by her large emerald eyes. “I’ve got some injured troops that need some medical attention right away!”
“Where’s your doctor?” asked Will surprised. Alessia fought cunningly and did not usually lose any troops.
“He died in battle.”
“I’ll get you mine.” Will looked at his daughter with a concerned look. “Are you all right?”
“A few bumps and bruises, but I’ll be fine?” she smiled. “You look tired,” she said.
“Will rubbed his eye. “I couldn’t sleep yesterday. If I had it my way, you wouldn’t be out there, fighting, but I have no choice, you’re as stubborn as your mother.”

But Will truly knew that Alessia belonged on the battlefield, she was the best 2nd-in-command he had ever had. She was intelligent and loyal to her the troops she led. He put a hand on her shoulder, “I’ll send my doctor over now.”
“Thanks, Daddy,” she kissed him on the forehead and ran over to her troops.

yea, I don't know if it's realistic as the 2nd-in-command, even if it is realistic as his daughter

The cheek is better.
Who kisses their Dad on the forehead?

A kiss on the cheek would be appropriate.
What I find unrealistic, and seemingly out of character, is a 23 year old warrior, dressed in armor, calling her father "Daddy."

I dont think 23 is too old to kiss your father.
I'm 21 and I kissed my dad the last time I saw him (I'm in the UK, he's in Michigan)
You should always show love to your parents, no matter how old you are.
But as for being in a combat zone, I wouldn't really know if its realistic.

Not sure... my dad passed away when i was only a year old....
Very nice story as for it being realistic... I liked it, sounds interesting and the part where she kisses his forhead (or cheek whichever you decide) flows with the story line and it adds a sense of innocence to her hard outer shell as a fighter

It is realistic, and they`re family, so have her kiss him. But not on the lips, either on the cheeks, or the forehead, and if the daughter is very close, have her kiss him on the chin or the tip of the nose.

I'm 4 3 and I wish I'd have kissed my dad more often. He passed away 8 months ago.

Kiss on the cheek is fine. Forehead if he's ill or dying.

Of course it is. If the relationship is a close one, it is only natural.
