Neuvirina

"There's someone sitting up there in the VIP seats that has been striking a pose for quite a while now... I believe she is trying to give you a most elegant and impressive first impression."

- Neuvilette referring to Furina in the Archon Quest The City of Rains and Remembrance.

Neuvirina is the het ship between Neuvillette and Furina from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Both Neuvillette and Furina work together at the Opera Epiclese as the Chief Justice and ruling Archon of Fontaine, respectively.

Furina could be described as someone with dramatic flair albeit with a bratty personality despite being an immortal Archon ruling over her region. She tries to give off the appearance of a capable ruler confident in her abilities but this appears to be a façade covering up a feeling of overwhelming pressure to rule her nation and hold on to the people's trust in her as their reliable Archon. Neuvillette also explains she has a desire to save her citizens from a potential doomsday scenario. Neuvillette on the other hand is gentlemanly and elegant, but he also seems unempathetic at first glance. However, he is in reality very sensitive and emotional although he does not seem to express it outwardly. Instead the game gives us insight to his emotions through visual storytelling.

Furina and Neuvillette are both in charge of the court system within Fontaine, Overlooking trials within their nation. As a result they work closely with one another and are often present anytime a trial takes place within the Opera Epiclese.

We are introduced to Neuvillette within the Opera Epiclese where he mentions Furina waiting for the Traveler to notice her watching them from the VIP seats.

Neuvillette on many occasions has been shown to understand Furina on a very personal level, explaining to the traveler the reasonings behind many of the comments she makes and things that she does so those who do not know her well may understand her thought process behind certain actions.

Furina and Neuvillette have a similar color pallet of blue and white but of slightly different shades. Their clothing also shares this same blue and white color scheme.

Quotes
"Please answer the question, Lady Furina. Also, if I may add, The trial has not yet ended. As such, I request that the prosecution not leave the room before the proceedings have concluded."

- Neuvillette speaking to Furina as she tried to walk away during Lyney's trial.

"Ugh! What, are you reading my mind now!?"

- Furina's response to Neuvillette during Lyney's trial.

"...So she chose to make her escape after all, did she."

- Neuvillette reffering to Furina at the conclusion of Lyney's trial.

Fanon
The ship emerged shortly after Furina and Neuvillette were leaked to be playable characters within the game.

The Neuvirina ship is generally seen as an example of the common "tall boyfriend x short/petite girlfriend couple" motif in films, mangas, animes, light novels .etc - in the same vein as the ZhongTao, ChiLumi, Thomaya, Kukitto, Ittomiya, and Hailou ships.

People generally find the dynamics of their relationship to be a long tender one developed over years of working together. However, shippers often add a comedic twist to their dynamic as well within the ship.

Both Furina and Neuvillette are equally depicted as being the dominant/submissive one within the ship.

It is often commonly depicted as a mutual growth type of romantic relationship where Neuvillette's more mature personality keeps the dramatic and somewhat chaotic Furina grounded where as she in turn brings Neuvillette out of his shell. Similar to the dynamic of the ZhongTao ship.

One other theme applied to the ship is angst. This is partly due to Furina ruling a nation that is prophesized to one day sink into the sea leaving her all alone weeping.

It should be noted that many couples within the Genshin Impact fandom are attracted to the Neuvirina ship due to their matching color pallets allowing said couples to further match with one another through the use of profile pictures and other forms of depictions of the characters. This is likely due to the fact that aside from just their matching color schemes their dynamic in-game reminded many couples of their own dynamic.

Trivia

 * When riding the Navia Line Aquabus, it is possible to get dialogue from the tour guide named Elphane that seemingly imply Furina and Neuvillette take their own private transportation together when going to and leaving Opera Epiclese. "If you're hoping to meet the two figureheads of the Opera Epiclese, I don't recommend waiting around here. They use their own private transportation, not the Aquabus."
 * It could be implied Furina and Neuvillette live together in Palais Mermonia. When speaking to the NPC Sedene you can receive dialogue that says "...And well, Lady Furina lives on the top floor. She's a real celebrity, so she doesn't have any time slots free. Monsier Neuvillette's office is just over by the side - This much everyone knows."
 * When on the aquabus traveling the Clementine Line it is possible to get dialogue from the Tour Guide NPC Aeval that Furina once performed in front of Neuvillette. "You know, I was once lucky enough to see Lady Furina herself stand upon the stage of the Opera Epiclese! Her beautiful performance and rich emotions are so infectious, Even Monsier Neuvilette was shaking his head in shock! Anyway, I like Lady Furina, I think she's really pretty, and very worthy of being called an Archon!"
