Nintenana

Nintenana is the het ship between Ninten and Ana from the EarthBound fandom.

Canon
Ninten and Ana both have PSI abilities. They can both use telepathy, teleportation, Lifeup (β, γ and π), Healing (all levels), Hypnosis, and make PSI shields (all levels).

In Reindeer, an old woman gives Ninten Ana's hat and asks him to return it to her. When Ninten arrives at Ana's church in Snowman, she tells him she had a dream of a boy who looked just like him. Ana tells him she was waiting for him, because she needs Ninten's help to find her mother in Easter. Ana then joins Ninten's party.

In Valentine, an NPC asks if the two of them are sweethearts. If Ninten says "no", the person questions if they feel anything at all budding between them.

At the safehouse on Holy Loly Mountain, Teddy acknowledges that the two of them probably want to be alone, and leaves them to enter the back bedroom by themselves. Once inside, Ana blocks the door. She asks Ninten to stay with her. Ninten agrees, and Ana suggests they dance. Ninten and Ana dance around the room, and at the end, Ana asks Ninten if he loves her. Ninten can say yes, and Ana tells Ninten that she has loved him for a long time, even since she saw him in her dream. Teddy then walks in on them, asking why they are blushing.

In the ending of the game, Ana returns to Snowman and parts with Ninten and Lloyd. She doesn't want to forget them by saying "goodbye", instead just "until next time". Later she receives a letter from Ninten and imagines him smiling while reading it. She wishes to meet up with him again soon since she misses him so much.

Fanon
Nintenana is a fairly popular ship in the EarthBound fandom, although it is often regarded as being underrated due to coming from an old game with less popularity. Their dance scene is commonly referenced, and praised for Ana outwardly stating having feelings toward Ninten, rather than leaving it ambiguous. Sometimes Ninten and Ana are thought to be Ness's parents, or the MOTHER equivalent of EarthBound's Nesspaula. Nintenana rivals Clausten and Nintenlloyd.
