Elykia

Elykia is the femslash ship between Elysia and Kiana Kaslana from the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom.

Canon
Elysia and Kiana have never met as they are from different eras and Kiana has never entered the Elysian Realm. However, the two share many similarities. They both have multiple Herrscher identities. Elysia is both the Herrscher of Human Ego and Herrscher of Origin while Kiana is the Herrscher of the Void and Flamescion. They're also both born as Herrschers, with Elysia being born from the Will of Honkai and Kiana created as a vessel for the 2nd Herrscher. One of Elysia's wishes was for future Herrschers to retain their humanity, and Kiana's status is a one of the many examples of her success. This is acknowledged in Chapter 32, where Prometheus refers to Kiana as a "Successor of Origin."

They both have very upbeat, outgoing, and often flirtatious personalities. This moreso applies to Kiana's early characterization before she matured, though she still maintains her optimism. Their personalities also have nuanced differences, with Kiana's cheerfulness making her quite airheaded while Elysia maintains a sense of wisdom and mystery under her bright personality. Both are also determined to protect the world for the sake of humanity, with Kiana believing the beauty of the world because of her friends and Elysia witnessing the beauty of the world when she was a young traveler.

Both also have a strong connection to Raiden Mei. Kiana and Mei are canonically in love, and their relationship is central to the main story. Mei also forms a close relationship with Elysia, the first person she meets in the Elysian Realm. Elysia often flirts with Mei, though she remains unfazed by it. Kiana also flirted with and openly expressed her love for Mei in their St. Freya days.

Fanon
Elykia is a rarepair within the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom due to the characters never meeting. It is mainly rivaled by more popular Kiana and Elysia ships such as Kiamei and Elymei. Fans occasionally ship all three of these characters together, forming the ship Elykiamei. Shippers find Elykia appealing due to their similarities and mutual connection to Mei. Some like to depict the normally confident Kiana as flustered when met with someone more flirty than her, or have Kiana oblivious to Elysia's flirting attempts.

They currently have 20+ works on AO3.
