Adaemily

Adaemily is the Femslash ship between Ada Mesmer and Emily Dyer from the Identity V fandom.

Canon
Ada and Emily never had an interaction canonically nor have shared a skin essence or are in the same game. The biggest reason of the ship is the fact that both of them are healers of some sort, with Ada being a psychologist and Emily being a doctor. Their abilities in game also work similarly, both of them heal, with Emily's ability of healing others faster than normal, and Ada being able to heal others from a distance. But, both of them worked at White Sand Street Asylum for a while, Ada working there officially while Emily was a volunteer, it is possible that they did meet each other there off-camera.

They share somewhat similar personalities, both are doctors for love reasons, with Ada literally falling in love with one of her patients and Emily always wanting to provide security to others. At the White Sand Street Asylum, Ada and Emily also performed shock therapy when they didn't want to. Ada actively fled the hospital because she didn't agree with the treatments they provided to Emil, and Emily performed electroshock therapy to Emma but not agreeing with the treatment.

Ada and Emily also have an interesting collor palette that compliment each other. Emily wears more cool tones, white and blue, while Ada goes for a darker aesthetic, wearing white and black. The contrast is not only present in their colors, but also the rest of their appearence. Ada has mascara running down her cheeks and messy hair, while Emily has her entire hair perfectly pulled into a bun.

Fanon
Adaemily is a fairly popular ship in the Identity V fandom, having more fanart and edits than fanfics content-wise. The fanbase relies in fanon content and what-ifs of their past together to make the ship happen.

The fan narratives mostly have Ada and Emily being exes or dating throughout the med school, or that at least they were friends when pursuing their same courses. There's also other fanworks that have Emily accepting Ada's care and being able to overcome her guilty past with a new lover. This also can come from Ada's side, with her realizing that she never really loved Emil and just liked controlling him, to actually accepting herself as either lesbian or bi with Emily. Ada being headcanonned as a lesbian with compulsive heterosexuality is a very common one among Adaemily shippers, seeing Adaemil only as Ada trying to like men or controlling them, but not actually loving them romantically. Sometimes, Ada is also seen as a tsundere who is in denial of her feelings for Emily because of her current relationship. From Emily's side, she's also viewed as a lesbian because of her complicated relationship with Emma. Some even explore EmiEmma being exes to Emily moving on from Emma to go date Ada.

Their personalities contrast also give the ship more appeal in how they could compliment each other as a couple, Emily being more coward and sensitive, while Ada is more firm and decisive.

The fact that certain part of the fandom think Adamil, Adaemily's biggest rival, is toxic or unhealthy brings the popularity of this ship up as a better, healthier or more interesting alternative. Adaemily shippers either prefer Emil alone, arguing that he doesn't have autonomy and needs to find independence before a relationship, or ships Emiluca, Emilsop or another Emil rarepair.
