Luaisy

Luiaisy is the het ship between Luigi and Princess Daisy from the Super Mario fandom.

Canon
Princess Daisy is one of the many princesses Mario and Luigi know. Despite being saved by Mario in Super Mario Land, she and Luigi have a tendency to be partnered up in sports games more frequently. It is unknown when specifically Luigi and Daisy first met, however their first canon interaction has Princess Daisy act as Luigi's caddie in NES Open Tournament Golf.

Ever since then, the pairing has been constantly teased throughout the multiple spin off games. In both Mario Party 5 and Mario Party 6, their team name is that of "Steady Sweeties." Mario Kart Wii has two different statues of the pair dancing together in Daisy Circuit. One version is of them as adults, while the other has their baby versions instead. The official Mario Party 4 guide by BradyGames even goes as far as to state that Luigi has a crush on Daisy, with the latter possibly returning said feelings.

Both Mario Super Sluggers and Mario Tennis Aces has Daisy show concern for Luigi in certain cutscenes. Also in Aces, Daisy requests Mario to bring Luigi back safely after he becomes possessed. Fortune Street shares character specific dialogue between multiple characters. The same applies to Luigi and Daisy. When Daisy offers the player a trip to Sarasaland, Luigi considers the player lucky. If the player is Daisy and trades shops with Luigi, she will say this: "You're the only one here I can truly trust, Luigi... Trade shops with me, won't you?" She is also shown to encourage Luigi to try harder if she lands on any of Luigi's cheap shops.

Super Smash Bros. Melee describes Princess Daisy as being "Luigi's answer to Mario's Peach." Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, similar to Mario Party 4, also claims that Luigi has a crush on Daisy. With her inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Daisy's end card shows Luigi peeking his head out from under the stage.

Fanon
As one can guess, the reason the pair is shipped together is due to canon constantly teasing it. Their dynamic of opposites attracting also allows for both platonic and romantic potential. Some may portray Daisy as being outgoing and the driving force in the relationship, while others may have Daisy act more introverted or akin to her Mario Tennis personality.

Currently, there are around 100 works on AO3 of the ship. Its current ranking in the Super Mario tag is 2nd place, right behind Mario and Peach. For Daisy, it ranks at number 1. Luigi ranks the ship, including non-Luigi ships, at 2nd place.

Fanart will typically portray the couple playing sports in some regard due to them first being shown together in some of the sports games, but also due to Daisy's energetic personality. If they are playing a game against each other (such as tennis or baseball), Daisy is usually the one winning. Gardening is also a common theme due to Daisy having multiple flower-designed powers.

Fanfics may share similar concepts with fanart, but can also delve deeper into romantic themes as well. These include concepts such as romantic confessions, date nights, anniversaries, and even marriage proposals. They may also have a situation in which Luigi saves Daisy, or the other way around to subvert the previous. This, of course, references the series' history of saving princesses being a common plot point.

In Super Paper Mario, Luigi is brainwashed into Mr. L. Unlike his original self, Mr. L is far more cocky and constantly mocks those who he considers 'Juniors.' After the game's release, multiple fans have made scenarios in which Mr. L and Daisy meet. Interruptions may very.
