VeliSenti

VeliSenti is the friendship between the Herrscher of Sentience and Dark Seele from the Honkai fandom.

Canon
The Herrscher of Sentience and Dark Seele, AKA Veliona, have never interacted in the main story, though they share many similarities. Both have maniacal personalities, and are beings made from Honkai that serve of alternate versions of different characters. Senti is a Herrscher sharing Fu Hua’s memories and appearance, though she is violent, childish, and has very different views than Fu Hua. Veliona is Seele’s more rude and violent alternate personality, who comes from Seele’s natural stigmata. Additionally, Senti and Veliona's color palettes often incorporate red.

In the Spring Feast event, the Herrscher of Sentience goes inside Seele’s mind, where she meets Veliona. Veliona sternly questions her at first. Senti starts introducing herself, though cuts herself off on the word “Herrscher”, being ashamed of the title. Veliona softens up at this, and conjures up a chair Senti can sit on. Senti shares that she can conjure illusions too, and asks what else Veliona can make. She dryly responds “chains and shackles”, and Senti says that kids these days have weird tastes.

Veliona listens to Senti reminisce about Fu Hua’s disciples in past Spring Festivals. Senti questions why Veliona is in this space, and if she ever gets bored. Veliona never thought about this before, and doesn’t know what to say. Before she has a chance to reply, Seele invites her to eat some of Bronya’s borscht, and the two switch. Senti is taken aback by the change at first, but is amused that Seele too has a double personality.

Both also interact in various other events such as the Genshin collab, Seaside Estival, and Secret Project: Arahato α. Although the two find commonality in their attitudes, their persistence in their respective sides often leads them to argue.

Fanon
Prior to Chapter 37, VeliSenti was a dynamic fans enjoyed but didn't make much content or discussion about. However, many fans recognized their similarities, and wanted to see them interact more. Although Veliona and Senti are more often shipped as friends, there are a few who ship them romantically. Many players were happy to see them finally have prolonged interactions in Chapter 37, and discussions about the pairing significantly increased as a result.

They currently have 2 gen works and 1 romantic work on AO3.
