Elyponia

Elyponia is the femslash ship between Elysia and Aponia from the Honkai Impact 3rd fandom.

Previous Era
Aponia and Elysia first met in the MOTHs base, when Aponia was considered a criminal and was preparing to be tried for gathering Honkai-infected children at Sundown Alley. While Sakura was showing her around the base, Elysia greeted her lively, calling her a cute girl. Sakura tells her not to treat Aponia like a normal guest, but Elysia refutes that Aponia is simply a normal girl caught up in some misunderstandings, and she wants to get to know her. Elysia takes her hands as a "handshake of goodwill" and assures Aponia that she can tell her anything. Aponia is surprised that Elysia isn't afraid of her, calling herself a sinner soon to receive judgement. Elysia replies that to her, she is just a normal girl overwhelmed by sadness. Aponia still blames herself, saying that none of this would have happened if she hadn't taken all of those children in. Elysia says that even if she didn't, Honkai would've ravaged elsewhere; Aponia was simply doing what she thought was right. At Aponia's protests, Elysia tells her not to imprison herself in the past, and encourages her to smile.

Aponia was one of the four people to attend her final banquet and be given a crystal flower. Like the other attendees, Aponia was already aware of Elysia's identity as a Herrscher. She had known since the beginning because of her psychic abilities, though didn't tell anyone. At the banquet, she and Elysia had fun playing "girl games" together. When it was time for Elysia to depart from the world, Aponia and everyone else assured her that she indeed became human, and they do not see her as a Herrscher.

Elysian Realm
As usual, Elysia's sim is the one to guides Mei and gives info on the other Flame-Chasers. Mei tells her about Aponia's prophecy that she'll die in ten days. Elysia reacts gravely to this, and tells Mei that Aponia's prophecies always come true, no matter how much Aponia has tried to change it. She states that she will ask Aponia about it later.

After Mei and Aponia's confrontation, Mei states that though she can't change her fate, she can change the way she arrives to that fate. Aponia recalls when a certain someone said the same thing to her. She states she was never able to read her fate, so she assumed things would be different, but that person died in the end. Mei questions what Aponia does in the Realm, and she replies that she uses her blessing to remember that person's life entirely. Aponia says Mei is ready to meet this person, the 13th Herrscher, and opens the door to Elysium Everlasting, where Elysia is waiting.

Quotes
"The second to arrive was Aponia. She wore a gown with that veil. She was so gorgeous that I almost didn’t recognize her."

- Elysia about Aponia during the final banquet, Chapter 31.

"I still believe this is the day when purity enters the world. Happy birthday, Elysia. Your existence is the greatest gift fate has bestowed upon me."

- Aponia's bridge lines for Elysia's birthday.

Fanon
Elyponia is a less popular ship in the fandom. It is often shipped with its rival ship, Elyeden, as a poly ship, since Aponia and Eden are two of Elysia's closest and most trusted friends. Elyponia first gained traction in the Aponia Counseling Room web event, which included a CG with Elysia close to Aponia, grabbing her hands. Because of this and the way Aponia speaks about Elysia, many have interpreted Aponia to be deeply in love and yearning for her.
