KaeLisa

KaeLisa is the het ship between Kaeya Alberich and Lisa Minci from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Prologue: Act I
Kaeya brings Traveller to the Grandmaster's office, where Jean and Lisa are present. They are shown to interact in regards to the Dvalin crisis.

Midsummer Island Adventure: Part III
Prior to this part, Jean had given the role of Acting Grand Master to Kaeya while she was away at the archipelago. In this part, however, he was discovered to be at the archipelago as well. When asked who was overseeing the Knights of Favonius, Kaeya stated that he had given the role to "the mighty Librarian, Lisa, of course." He then went on further to compliment her strictness when it came to keeping things in order.

Voiceline
Kaeya informs the Traveler to not forget to return their books on times, he states that he made that mistake and says that she really was angry. Kaeya mentions that his arm is still numb from the last time he made the mistake.

Official Art
miHoYo had released some promotional artworks featuring Kaeya and Lisa as chibis, interacting with one another in a friendly fashion.

Fanon
KaeLisa, being a rare pair, doesn't have much traction within the fandom. It is more often seen as a platonic ship rather than a romantic one.

Platonic
On a platonic front, Kaeya and Lisa are generally envisioned as best friends and co-workers that enjoy kicking back and gossiping together. Both are known to be flirtatious, charming, secretive people, with a tendency to tease others. On top of that, they both have a desire to gather information, albeit using different methods. Their dynamic is that of a casual, but engaging, back-and-forth duo.

Prominent Headcanons

 * Kaeya is imagined to be a bookworm. This is due to his love of stories, and the fact that he stores his intel list in a copy of The Adventures of Angelos. The Mondstadt Library, where Lisa works, is likely a spot that Kaeya would visit in his spare time, asides from bars.
 * They both have different ways of engaging themselves with the world. Lisa finds herself reserving her energy and keeping things laid back. As Albedo sees it, she is almost limiting herself in a way. Kaeya, on the other hand, finds himself expending his energy, and seeks to push the limits of himself and others. An immovable object and an unstoppable force.
 * Another take on the KaeLisa dynamic is that they are friends, both on borrowed time, supporting each other as they try to make the best of their situations. The borrowed time aspect is inspired from the Khaenri'ah curse, which is potentially affecting Kaeya, as well as Lisa's limited lifespan curse (an early concept described by a product manager at miHoYo).

Romantic
Romantic KaeLisa tends to be seen as all the platonic aspects put together, plus a romantic layer. Friends-With-Benefits and Friends-To-Lovers are common tropes used in their romantic portrayals.

Prominent Headcanons

 * While they are both outwardly flirty, they are also secretive, and would likely prefer to keep their relationship and affection in private.
