Hailou

Hailou is the het ship between Nilou and Alhaitham from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Nilou and Alhaitham have not yet interacted in game, and Nilou does not have any voicelines about Alhaitham. However, they do share a few things in common. They're both popular characters who appear in the Sumeru Main story. They also share a negative opinion of General Cyno. However, that is currently all of the similarities about them since Alhaitham is a NPC and the two have never once interacted.

Nilou and Alhaitham have been seen together in a few official art. They were also seen next to each other in one of the Sumeru promotional videos on the Genshin Impact YouTube channel. In this video they were also seen giving Nahida gifts alongside other Sumeru characters.

Fanon
Hailou is very much a rarepair, being overshadowed by more popular ships for Nilou and Alhaitham. The two have almost no fanfiction or fanart. There are currently 4+ works of the pair on AO3. There is a little bit of fan art on Twitter. On TikTok, the two however have a decent amount of videos. Some of the fans of the ship freaked out when Nilou and Alhaitham were seen in together in one of the Sumeru promo video on official Genshin YouTube channel. Many fans of the two hope that someday the two might get a event together, or one of them might get a voice line about the other. Nilou and Alhaitham were both leaked together alongside other characters from Sumeru, which made many fans assume they were going to be playable together. However out of the two, Nilou is the only one to be playable from the leaks.

Currently, for Nilou, the ship rivals Cylou, Ayanilou, and the ship between Dehya and Nilou. For Alhaitham, this ship rivals Kavetham and Cytham. Though there has been some people who ship Nilou and Alhaitham with Cyno as a poly ship but like Hailou the poly ship is also a rarepair.
