Himehua

Himehua is the femslash ship between Murata Himeko and Fu Hua from the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom.

Previous Era
On Hua's way home from the city of Sapphire, she witnesses the 3rd Honkai eruption. She is saved by Captain HIMEKO. Later, at the MOTH's base, HIMEKO checks on her. Hua asks about the situation, and HIMEKO warns her that she's about to tell her something very grave before revealing that the Honkai destroyed Sapphire and that Hua is one of the few survivors. HIMEKO advises her to forget about everything and leave Sapphire behind. Hua asked what really happened, and HIMEKO refuses to tell her at first. Hua insists that she wants to know what she can do. HIMEKO warns that she can't give her hope, only a spark, and that if she chooses to hear the truth, she will carry that burden for the rest of her life. After some deliberation, Hua states that she wants the truth, and HIMEKO accepts, leading to Hua's enlistment into the MOTHS.

One day, shortly after the defeat of the 6th Herrscher, HIMEKO prepares Hua for a party. She asks Hua about her unenthusiasm, and Hua states that she doesn't understand why they're celebrating after the sacrifices they had to endure for their victory. HIMEKO reminds Hua that forgetting is the best way to relieve pain in war. She asks if Hua's sure she doesn't want to join, but Hua relents, much to HIMEKO's delight. One year later, some time after HIMEKO's death, Hua reflects on her words before another party. Although many of the soldiers have since been less enthusiastic about these parties, Hua understood what HIMEKO said about the importance of forgetting, and joins the party hoping everyone can be happy for the night.

The 7th Herrscher awakened inside HIMEKO, ravaging much destruction. Hua was conflicted on why HIMEKO of all people was turned into a herrscher, or how to stop her. Hua revolved to find a way to save her. For a moment, HIMEKO breaks through the herrscher persona and speaks to Hua. Before Hua could talk her down, however, HIMEKO was killed by Kevin under Dr. MEI's orders, which she resented them for.

Fanon
Himehua is a more niche ship within the fandom, with Fu Hua ships like Fuki and Sentihua being more popular. The ship gained popularity since Himeko and Fu Hua were often paired in canon stories in St. Freya, and because of their interactions in Chapter 9. Himehua is also enjoyed since Fu Hua knew two iterations of Himeko across eras, leaving angst potential since she witnessed Himeko's death twice. Some view the ship as problematic since Himeko is Fu Hua's teacher.

Himehua currently has 35 written works on AO3.
