Caminoka

Caminoka is the femslash ship between Camilla and Hinoka from the Fire Emblem fandom.

Canon
Camilla and Hinoka are the second eldest children of the Nohrian and Hoshidan royal siblings respectively. Their home countries of Nohr and Hoshido have an antagonistic relationship, leaving the royal families to see each other as enemies. During the Birthright and Conquest routes, Camilla and Hinoka remain enemies as Corrin sides with either their Nohrian and Hoshidan family. They both care deeply for Corrin, with Hinoka blaming herself for Corrin's kidnapping as a child, and Camilla willing to go to any length to protect Corrin from those who might harm them. They mirror each other in their place within the royal families and often act as each other's foil.

During the Revelation route Camilla and Hinoka fight on the same side and are no longer enemies. In their first support conversation Hinoka sees Camilla sewing a patchwork blanket and is curious enough to ask what she is doing. Camilla offers to teach Hinoka how to sew which she happily accepts. As Hinoka tries to learn how to sew it becomes apparent that she doesn't have the temperament for it, as she has spent most of her life training to be a warrior. Camilla consoles Hinoka and admits that part of the reason she wanted to teach her was so that they might get to know each other. Hinoka decides to keep working with Camilla after this and soon becomes much better. Camilla hopes to keep teaching Hinoka different forms of sewing and the two talk about seeing each other as true friends now.

Fire Emblem Heroes
Both characters appear in Fire Emblem Heroes in their base forms and have been paired on two Fates-themed banners: Hostile Springs and Perilous Seas, the latter of which they were partnered as the banner's Duo Hero. As a Duo Hero it's revealed that Camilla invited Hinoka to the pirate festival and while Hinoka doesn't totally understand the theme at first, she gradually gets used to it and enjoys her time with Camilla. By the end she feels she understands how they both have a similar "treasure in our hearts".

Quotes
"You're coming with me back to Nohr. I have a soft spot for cute tomboys."

Fanon
Caminoka is one of the most popular femslash ship in the Fates fandom, though not the most popular overall. They often fall under the 'opposites attract' trope which many fans find compelling and is only further strengthen by the fact that Camilla was deliberately designed that way, having longer hair to constant Hinoka's short hair and riding a wyvern instead of a pegasus. The pairing follows the trend of shipping the opposite Nohrian and Hoshidan royals together, with Leokumi, Ryomarx, and Sakulise also being shipped. On AO3, Caminoka is the most written ship for both Camilla and Hinoka. It is also the most written femslash ship within the Fire Emblem: Fates tag and the tenth most written in the tag overall.
