Neuvia

Neuvia is the het ship between Navia and Neuvilette from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Three years prior the start of Fontaine Archon Quest Chapter I, Neuvilette, Ludex of Fontaine, presided over the case of Navia's father, Callas Caspar. With the choice of a trial or a duel, Callas chose a duel with Clorinde, the Champion Duelist then. Neuvilette didn't have authority to stop the duel as it was Calla's choice instead of a trial. The duel resulted to Callas' demise.

Callas' death and being labelled as "Callas the Unfaithful" resulted to the downfall of Spina di Rosula's reputation. As the only daughter of Callas and already a young adult at that time, Navia became the next president of Spina di Rosula and strived ever since then to seek the truth and bring her late father the justice he deserves.

During the 4.0 Archon Quest, Navia expressed her anger towards Neuvilette for not being able to stop Callas' duel with Clorinde that later resulted to her father's death. At the later end of the 4.0 Archon quest, Navia met Neuvilette as he visited Callas' grave in the pouring rain and with their conversation with one another, Navia realized that Neuvilette is actually a stern but gentle person who has difficulty in expressing his emotions. After their reconciliation, the rain stopped implying that Neuvilette, speculated as the Hydro Dragon, feels bliss and relief.

Navia and Neuvilette's interactions continued in Neuvilette's Story Quest in which she helped him solve a case in relation to his past. In Fontaine Archon Quest Chapter IV: Act V - Masquerade of the Guilty, Navia slipped from a bridge and falls into the water. She was about to dissolve to the primordial seawater while in her dreamstate but was being protected by two Oceanids just long enough for Neuvilette to successfully save her. When Navia awoke, Neuvilette expressed his relief that Navia is fine physically and told her about the two Oceanids which Navia speculated to be Melus and Silver as they appeared in her dream in the court full of oceanids. Noticing that Navia may feel emotional at her realization that Melus and Silver would continue to protect her even after death, Neuvilette pulled the Traveler and Paimon aside to give Navia some space.

Quotes
"I... I'm sorry for being mad at you before. So you're actually... One of those types that's cold on the outside but pretty thoughtful on the inside, huh.."

- Navia to Neuvilette; Archon Quest Chapter II: Act III - When All Return to the Waters

"Sorry about that. Self-expression is not one of my strong suits."

- Neuvilette's reply to Navia; Archon Quest Chapter II: Act III - When All Return to the Waters

"I regret to say that after my various interactions with her - such as when I inadvertently angered her, and when I accepted her apology - and even now, in spite of the guilt I continue to feel over what happened to her father, I feel...very distant from her, as if I'm observing the starry sky from the bottom of a deep lake. It is by no means intentional, and I also know it is not something that I can easily make up for. Unlike water, emotion does not settle quickly once agitated, nor is it naturally inclined towards equilibrium."

- Neuvilette's voiceline about Navia

"Ah, how to describe Monsieur Neuvilette...He's... complex, in some ways - but very straightforward in others. I guess a good analogy would be rocky reefs in the sea: Trying to navigate through obstacles you can't see makes for a bumpy ride, but if you can figure out how they work, you start to spot the signs."

- Navia's voiceline about Neuvilette

Fanon
Fans see Navia and Neuvilette's in - game voicelines of each other as written as a couplet and deemed that the theme of their voicelines is "Distance". Their Voicelines of each other seemed very "Poetic" as Neuvilette describes Navia as if he is observing a "Starry Sky" from the Bottom of a Deep Lake while Navia describes Neuvilette as "Rocky Reefs in the Sea".

During the online Macaron Melange event, fans speculated that Navia was making macarons inside Neuvilette's office due to the same blue couch and blue flowers in a tall vase behind Navia that you can see in Neuvilette's office. To the fans' delight a few days later, Neuvilette's Official Birthday Art and Chibi in his office depicted the same blue flowers but now on the table and the same blue couch in Navia's Macaron Melange event Official Art.

Although Navia and Neuvilette started off as two people who misunderstood each other, fans believe that the two are growing closer together after their reconciliation, mutual understanding and overall with what had transpired throughout the Fontaine Archon Quests. Following the enemies to lovers trope, a growing friendship and as an Immortal - Mortal pair who are great leaders in their own ways, fans couldn't help but root for the two of them and hope for the continued development of their relationship.
