Ganyae

Ganyae is the femslash ship between Ganyu and Yae Miko from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Ganyu and Yae Miko currently have no interaction with each other in game. This makes sense as Yae Miko is from Inazuma while Ganyu is from Liyue. Although they have not met on screen or through an event, Ganyu and Yae Miko are said to be acquittance. In Yae Miko's voice lines, we can find one mentioning Ganyu, where she tells us more about their relationship. Unfortunately, this voice line is currently the only thing that tells us about their relationship.

Yae Miko explains that before the Sakoku Decree, where the lands of Inazuma were totally cut out of the other nations, her and wouldGanyu often met to discuss about the relations between their two nations, Liyue and Inazuma, as they're both higher ups in their respective nation. Ganyu being the secretary of the Liyue Qixing, and Yae Miko being both the chief priest of the Grand Narukami Shrine and a close friend of the Inazuma archon. And so, they mostly have a professional relationship. Though, there are some implications that they could also be friends. Yae Miko then says that she found Ganyu reliable, which shows a good relation between the two characters. Additionally, Yae Miko asks the traveler to bring Ganyu some Sea Ganoderma, one of Inazuma's speciality. This further shows that Yae Miko does like Ganyu. It also shows that Yae Miko does know more about her than just their professional discussions, as this prove that she knows that Ganyu is a vegetarian.

Additionally, the only time they are seen together is in the Chinese 2.5 special livestream. In this livestrem, Ganyu is the one who introduces Yae Miko. Yae Miko calls Ganyu her sister (In Asia, it is common for people to call close ones brother, sister, etc.) and asks where she is. As Yae Miko has brought some Sea Canoderma for her. In the English version of this livestream, Ganyu is nowhere to be found.

Quotes
"Hmm, now that you mention it, it's been a while since I last saw Ganyu. Before the Sakoku Decree came into effect, the two of us would often meet to discuss bilateral relations between our two nations. I always found her quite reliable. The next time you go to Liyue, take her some more fresh Sea Ganoderma for me."

"Eh? Where's my sister Ganyu? I brought some best Sea Ganoderma for her."

Fanon
Ganyae initially sailed due to Yae's unexpected voice line about Ganyu (as she is the only Liyue character mentioned by Yae) and their aesthetically pleasing color scheme. Their differing personalities of calm and mischievous quickly took the liking across many fans of the two, leading the ship to become kind of popular in many spaces.

Some fans theorize the two have had prior communication and visited each other quite often (voice line), allowing them to open up possibilities to many more cross nation ships. They also wish to see them interact on screen through an event, as it wouldn’t be surprising due to their relationship.

This ship currently has over 10 works on AO3.
