Anemarin

Anemarin is the femslash ship between Anemone and Tamarin from the Wings of Fire fandom.

Canon
Anemarin is a small ship, rarely discussed in canon. Despite being semi-canon, there is not a lot of content for it.

Anemone, a SeaWing princess and Tamarin, a blind RainWing, both arrived at Jade Mountain Academy the year the academy started. Anemone was placed in the Silver Winglet while Tamarin was placed in Gold. They weren't shown to have any sort of interaction, besides being in a few of the same locations at the same time, until book 10, Darkness of Dragons. Near the end of the book, Kinkajou, a friend of Tamarin, says that Anemone has been giving Tamarin little gifts, and says that Anemone's crush on Tamarin is "Cuter than baby sloths" and gives Tamarin flowers, which Tamarin is very fond of, and jewelry. Anemone also offers to read her scrolls, as Tamarin is blind. It has been confirmed that Anemone has a crush on Tamarin, but it is unknown if Tamarin returns her feelings.

Anemone is logical, prim, snotty, delicate, and regal. She often is huffy, haughty, bossy, fierce, and she enjoys disobeying orders. She allowed her sleeping cave at Jade Mountain Academy to become quite a mess, and is comfortable with casually scattering her wealth around as she is not yet used to living without servants. She often used her animus magic on frivolous things, but after Darkstalker's manipulation, she became distrustful of other dragons attempting to help her. She has always been a sort of a brat towards everyone and was demanding towards Qibli when he borrowed her enchanted weather gauntlets. She looks at others as though examining them through a jeweler's glass, studying all of their flaws, and she is confident about her appearance. She becomes embarrassed when she does not act bravely.

In contrast, Tamarin is kind, quiet, and determined. In The Hidden Kingdom, she refused to let Glory down during her contest for the RainWing throne. Tamarin was hatched blind, but she never let her disability stop her from doing the same things as other dragons. She kept this mentality later on as well; after the explosion at Jade Mountain Academy badly injured her, she recovered quickly and refused to let her wounds stop her from attending classes or socializing with other students. She also never allows anyone to push her around. As shown in Talons of Power, Tamarin seems to prefer independence, as she probably feels pitied for something she does not want pity over, refusing Pike's offer to support her as she walked in the halls of Jade Mountain Academy. She is quite thoughtful and shy. Tamarin is also highly observant, being able to analyze others based on their actions or tone of voice.

In dragons years, Anemone is currently 2-3 years old, while Tamarin is around 4 years(the same as Kinkajou).

The feelings of Anemone or Tamarin have not been mentioned in arc three, nor has any relationship development. This may be due to the story taking place in Pantala, which is a different and long-lost continent then Pyrrhia, where Anemone and Tamarin reside.

Fanon
Anemarin is one of the most popular femslash ships within the Wings of Fire fandom, and the first canon LGBTQ+ ship from the franchise. Fans of this ship believe that Tamarin, being a quiet and independent dragon, would help bring out the best in Anemone, a bold and spoiled princess. It has inspired lots of fanart, PMVs, MAPS, and fanfictions. On the other end, many dislike this ship for its lack of content and development. Some believe it was an attempt at token representation and rushed.

A large amount of the fandom does not think that Anemone deserves Tamarin, considering Anemone’s antagonistic personality and role in the books. And as with most Wings of Fire ships, it has a controversial age gap, with Anemone being 1-2 years younger then Tamarin (in dragon years).
