RikaNei

RikaNei is the femslash ship between Rika Kawai and Neiru Aonuma from the Wonder Egg Priority fandom.

Canon
Neiru first learns about Rika from Ai, and she immediately takes a disliking to her because of her brash and seemingly selfish outer exterior. Distaste is shown on her face when she talks about how Rika is trying to save her "wallet".

They officially meet in Ai's house, along with her other friends, and Neiru regards her as shameless as Rika is begging for more cake. When the four are talking about parents, Rika mentions how men are proud and a "capable woman" spoils them. Saying that, she looks at Neiru with the latter asking why she is looking at her. Rika brushes it off, saying its her turn, while Neiru narrows her eyes and calls her an "anachronistic fool". Angered, Rika leaps at Neiru, and she further provokes her by calling her a fool again. Switching tactics, Rika suddenly starts tickling the black-haired girl with a smug expression. Neiru struggles to hold in her laughter, before Rika shifts to a different spot, earning her a loud and genuine laugh from the normally reserved girl.

Fanon
Despite Neiru disliking Rika's arrogant nature at the start, they are shown to agree on occasional topics, with Rika's more cheerful and outgoing personality shining through. Rika's bold and excited personality pair with Neiru's subtle and calm disposition are a match that many fans think could grow into something more. Neiru doesn't seem to actually mind Rika's cocky personality that much.

Their interactions together point to a slight Rivals-to-Lovers trope, and fans explore the idea of Rika getting Neiru to loosen up more, and conversely, Neiru helping Rika understand herself more. Stories with an angstier theme could include mentions of Rika's suicidal tendencies, or Neiru's "sister". However, they both have soft moments together, and fanarts have drawn on Rika teasing Neiru until she blushes.

It is a notably new ship in the fandom, as there aren't many fanarts or fanfictions made for Rika or Neiru. Opposing ships are Ai x Neiru, Rika x Momoe, and AiRika. The Wonder Egg Priority fandom is relatively small, and doesn't have as many fans, hence the low popularity of many ships.
