Saymaari

Saymaari is the friendship between Raya, Sisu and Namaari from the Raya and the Last Dragon fandom.

Canon
Both Raya and Namaari are fans of Sisu and her legend. The sight of Namaari's "Sisu fan girl" necklace got the two princesses to bond over the dragon. As Raya and Namaari continue to bond over their other interests, the Fang Princess shares with the Heart Princess a legend that her people have of Sisu. Stating that Sisu may still be alive and is sleeping somewhere at the end of one of Tail's rivers, the thought of bringing Sisu back brought joy to the both of them. Namaari then gives Raya her golden Sisu charm necklace as a sign of friendship between "one dragon nerd to another." Raya expects the gift and felt that she could trust Namaari with the location of the Gem Dragon, that is said to hold the essence of Sisu herself. Unknown to Raya, however, Namaari and her clan plan to take the gem for themselves and had used their shared fondness for Sisu as a means to gain her trust. Causing the Dragon Gem to shatter and bringing the Druun back into the world.

During the following years from that day, Namaari was tasked to place her people over the rest of the world. Meanwhile, Raya took it upon herself to find Sisu and have her save it like she did before. To help her in this task, Raya stole the scroll Namaari had once shown of Sisu, in hopes that it would help her find the dragon. Namaari knew that Raya was the one who took the scroll and led a charge to find and reclaim it back from her. By the time Namaari caught up to Raya, the Heart Princess had not long found Sisu and had brought her up to speed before they began their search for the other gem shards. Because Tail's shard granted Sisu the ability to turn herself into a human, Namaari was unaware that Raya's companion is Sisu. After seeing what people like Namaari would do in order to gain a shard of a dragon's power, Raya couldn't take the chance of what she would do to get her claws on an actual dragon. So she had to keep Sisu's true form and nature a secret from everyone they encountered. Namaari regret her past actions and hanged onto her respect for Sisu's kind, but her loyalty to her mother and people keeps her from doing what is right. The resentment and rivalry between the two princesses also kept them from trusting each other. Sisu, however, is more trustful than Raya and feels that they should give Namaari a chance. From when she revealed her true form in order to save Raya from Namaari and her gang, and got to look into the Fang Princess's eyes. Telling the last dragon that there is good in Namaari.

Fanon
Saymaari is not such a popular ship within the Raya and the Last Dragon fandom. This is due to the fact that it gets overshadowed by the most popular ship in the fandom, Rayaari. Although some people ship the three romantically, most fans of the ship prefer the three of them as friends. Most fanworks have Sisu shipping both Raya and Namaari, rooting for them to be together, helping them get together, or interrupting their romantic moments in a comedic way.
