RitaHua

RitaHua is the femslash ship between Rita Rossweisse and Fu Hua from the Honkai fandom.

Under the Falling Sky
After Otto takes Kiana to awaken the Herrscher in her, Fu Hua and Rita are assigned to stop Theresa and her allies from saving her. Fu Hua is reluctant to work with Rita, but compiles under one condition: No killing. Rita agrees. However, when Fu Hua turns away, she comments that it’s dangerous to be emotional on the battlefield. Together, they defeat Himeko and Tesla. Rita is about to deal the finishing blow, but Fu Hua reminds them of their agreement, so Rita takes them in as prisoners.

At the Helheim facility, Himeko falls unconscious. Fu Hua shows some concern over this, though Rita says she’ll be fine. Rita quickly leaves to deal with Tesla, leaving Himeko to Fu Hua. Otto then successfully awakens the Herrscher of the Void, so Rita and Fu Hua work together to clear the facility of Honkai beasts. Rita reports to Otto. During the conversation, Fu Hua is alarmed to hear that Otto plans to have Theresa fight the Herrscher, and not Durandal, who is powerful enough to face her. She urgently tells Rita to contact Durandal and formulate an attack against the Herrscher. Rita calmly refutes that Otto has his own plan, so they must not go against his orders. She can not let Fu Hua go on her own either, as she was ordered by the Overseer himself to make sure Fu Hua doesn’t jeopardize his plans. So the two battle.

Before the fight can escalate further, Durandal arrives and stops them. Durandal allows Fu Hua to leave, supporting Fu Hua’s will to fight for what she believes in. Rita asks why Durandal did that, as Fu Hua is going to die out there. Durandal replies that it’s her choice. Rita muses that it’s a shame, since she actually likes Fu Hua a lot.

Quote
"What a shame. I actually like her a lot."

Fanon
RitaHua is a rarepair, with Sentihua, Fuki, and DuraRita being much more popular. However, RitaHua does precede these ships due to their interactions happening early on, before DuraRita had any significant interactions.

The main appeal of RitaHua is the tension and distrust between them. The ship was fueled even more in the Empyrean Legends event, which has a CG of Rita seductively whispering in Fu Hua's ear. This CG is a big reason for why many people started liking RitaHua.
