Licirie

Licirie is the femslash ship between Licia Dia Ivlis and Rie Sakuraba from the Strawberry Vinegar fandom.

Canon
One day, Rie decides to make some cookies she saw on TV. Rie had learned to bake from her dad, who taught her everything she needed to know albeit being young. So Rie sets about to bake them. Oblivious that someone had already set their sights on the cookies. And that someone is Licia Dia Ivlis, or rather Licia— the daughter of the Satan. Thanks to a spell casted by Aurora, Licia is thought to be an exchange student from Norway by Rie’s parents and ends up staying with Rie's family for a week, learning about the way of human beings and eating a ton of food. Licia comes here on a "vacation" because she was curious as to what earth is like, and Rie is her caregiver for 6 days. Although Rie was against the idea of having Licia around at first, Rie is ultimately unable to resist Licia's pure, friendly and loving nature and eventually learns that having a friend isn't as bad as she thought it would be. The two girls bond through their mutual love of food and through their opposite but complimentary personalities. In the time-skip in the ending “Strawberry Kisses”, the two girls kiss and are revealed to be in a relationship.

The two meet on Monday, when Rie goes to make cookies only to be greeted by the demon girl eating said cookies. Rie comments on her appearance, saying how she’s “never seen someone with such pretty hair before”. Rie then gets mad at her, calling Licia names like “culprit” and calling her outfit “ridiculous”. Licia then states that she was sent to reap Rie’s soul, and that since she’s a nice demon, she’ll give her (Rie) a chance to redeem herself. And return for not reaping her soul, Rie must make her something nice to eat everyday for a week.

When Rie tells Licia to go take a bath, Licia asks her if she’s coming too. Rie then refuses her offer and mentions that “clingy people are so annoying”. Licia begs Rie, saying how she’s not used to bathing by herself and she’ll be lonely on her own. After Rie continuously refuses, Licia finally says how “it wouldn’t be nice bathing with you anyways”, which angers Rie. Licia then continues saying how her sisters are nice and kind, while Rie is a “meanie” and wouldn’t care if she got shampoo in her eyes. Rie says how she wouldn’t and would laugh at her if she did.

On Tuesday, Rie lends Licia a school uniform to borrow, which Licia goes on about how cute it is and how they have nothing like this where she’s from, to which she adds how “boring” the uniforms are in Hell and how she’s very happy that she decided to go to Japan.

When Licia is introducing herself to Rie’s class, Rie mentions how if she didn’t know about Licia’s true nature, she’d probably be swept away by her charms too.

Fanon
Licia looks like that of a 9-year-old, with platinum blonde hair, pink horns. But, sense she’s from Hell, there’s no telling how old she actually is. Licia is the demon sin of Gluttony, she loves food, cute things, and hanging around Rie. As for Rie, when you go through the story, you can see a noticeable difference in Rie and how one friend can change everything. She’s had never had a friend, since everyone always thought she was too dull to hang out with. But, Licia was able to prove to her that everybody could use a friend sometimes, no matter how much you enjoy being alone. The ship isn’t too well received by the fandom at first, due to their ages, but after the time skip, their relationship is generally accepted.

Trivia

 * In the “Strawberry Kisses” ending, Licia wears a shirt that read “I love 🌸” (a play on “Sakuraba”)
 * Licia tells Rie it wouldn't be all that nice bathing with her anyways since she's not "sweet" like her older sisters, and wouldn’t care if she got soap in her eyes; this upsets Rie.
