Hailou

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

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

Fanon
Hailou is very much a rarepair, being overshadowed by more popular ships for Nilou and Alhaitham. The two has almost no fanfictions on AO3, with currently only 4, and 2 with a tag titled “Alhaitham x Nilou”. Many fans of the two hope that some day the two might get a event together, or one of them might get a voice line about the other. As mentioned before, this ship is heavy rare pair, and so has almost no fan art. On TikTok, the two however have a decent amount of videos.

Currently, for Nilou, the ship rivals Cynilou, Ayanilou, and the ship between Dehya and Nilou. For Alhaitham, this ship rivals KaveHaitham and Cytham.
