Venrina

Venrina is the het ship between Venti and Furina from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Venti and Furina are both affiliated with The Seven. Venti is the Anemo Archon, the God of Wind and Freedom, and Focalors is the former Hydro Archon, God of Water and Justice who only left her human counterpart after her death, Furina. Both Furina and Venti are currently the only European-inspired Archons of the game along with their respective nations. Mondstadt is inspired by Germany, and Fontaine is inspired by France.

Venti and Furina’s personalities are similar in many ways. They are the first two Archons to be extraverted and rather playful by nature, and they both live for fun and hate being bored. The two also have some similarities in their designs; as both are short, have a necktie and are the only archons to wear a hat so far. Venti and Furina also share a parallel, as Venti is a God pretending to be human, and Furina is a human who pretended to be a God for 500 years.

Although they have no on-screen interaction yet, the Hydro Archon’s first leak comes from Venti’s “About Fontaine” voice-over found during the game’s beta version, making Venti the first one to talk about Focalors. In the voice-line, Venti compliments Fontaine’s winery before asking The Traveler his plans for the next days, suggesting they should go to Fontaine, but that he wants to avoid Focalors, so "it might be a good time for them to sneak off somewhere."

In the Archon Quest Prelude of Blancheur and Noirceur, Furina reveals that she intends to judge gods from other lands in her Tribunal, thus including Venti.

Upon Furina’s release and the 4.2 Archon Quest, Venti no longer talks about Focalors in his voice line, but about Furina instead. Upon asked about talking how she saved Fontaine, Venti replied saying that she’s a great artiste, so it was no wonder. He also said he wouldn’t be surprised even if she saved the entire world. Venti also wonders if they should invite her to the next Windblume Festival, leaving open the possibility of future interaction during it.

Fanon
Venrina is currently a rarepair in the Genshin Impact fandom, although it’s one of Furina’s most popular ships. Their aesthetic is in turquoise-blue/green tones, making them look good together. Venrina tends to lose popularity to the more popular Venti and Furina ships, Neuvirina and XiaoVen.

Venrina shippers tend to like this ship because of their dynamic, they are the only “extroverted” archons which suggests that their interactions would be entertaining and fun, due to Venti’s carefree personality and Furina’s dramatic behavior. People who prefer them platonically generally think of them as a chaotic duo, referring to them as “European Archons.” Overall, people think they’d make a good duo because they could entertain each other endlessly. Venti wants to have fun and enjoy life while Furina wants to be entertained. Venti’s job as a bard is to entertain people, so he would probably entertain Furina very well.

The angsty sides of Venrina in the fandom often involve Venti falling in love with Focalors, her death leading Venti to mourn her and learn to love Furina.
