Chibi Squad

Chibi Squad is the friendship between Klee, Qiqi, Diona, Sayu and Yaoyao from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Klee, Qiqi, Diona, and Sayu have not interacted all together in the canon story line. Only Diona and Klee are canonically friends out of the five, however Qiqi and Yaoyao are acquaintances. The five all share the short female character model. In other words, the five are "chibi characters". They all also seem to be around the same age, or at least all of them seem to be children, except for Sayu as it is stated "all her peers of the same age have grown taller, but only she remains as tiny as before" or that she was raised in the Shuumatsuban "since she was a child."

The five also have some similarities and differences. Although not much is known about Yaoyao, it seems she is playful and can be quite sneaky like Klee while Qiqi and Sayu are calm and quiet. Diona is serious in contrast to Klee and Yaoyao's playful personality but like both of them she can be rebellious, doing everything she can to destroy the wine industry. While Klee is talkative and energetic, Qiqi is the absolute opposite. Qiqi's voice lines are very short, showing that she talks very little. Although, like Klee, Qiqi seems to get along with everyone except one person. While Qiqi loses it whenever Hu Tao comes or is mentioned, Klee seems to call everyone "the best!" except Diluc, calling him a "weird grown-up".

In actual gameplay, Sayu can be good with Klee, Diona, or Qiqi for the elemental reaction, swirl. Klee and Diona can also be good in a team comp, because of melt reaction and Diona's first passive: Cat's Tail Secret Menu, giving a 10% movement speed and stamina decrease which can be very helpful to Klee uses lots of stamina. If Qiqi and Diona were put in the same team, they would activate cryo resonance- Affected by Electro for 40% less time. Increases CRIT Rate against enemies that are Frozen or affected by Cryo by 15%. This can be very useful to some DPS's because of the CRIT Rate increase. As for Yaoyao, currently, she is not a playable character.

In official art, there is art of Klee and Qiqi together, as well as of Qiqi and Yaoyao together. Klee, Qiqi, and Diona also have official art together.

Quotes
"Diona is the best! I like listening to her, last time I heard her say, 'I'm gonna destroy the wine industry in this city it it's the last thing I do!' And I'm gonna help her using my bombs! ...I don't know what a wine industry is though. Is it a monster?"

- Klee about Diona

"Every time Klee wants to play with me, I take her somewhere far from the tavern. Alcohol and explosives... yeah, that's a dangerous combination! I mean, do I want to destroy the wine industry of Mondstadt? Yes, but not in that sense!"

- Diona about Klee "Cute. Like a nice little finch."

- Qiqi about Yaoyao

Fanon
Many people like to ship them as friends due to them all being chibi characters, seeming to be the same ages. Although Sayu's age is debatable, she's most likely not a child. Still, most fans don't know about this so Sayu is included in the friendship. As a polyship, it is very disliked as the 5 are seen as children. Chibi Squad is a popular friendship within the Genshin Impact fandom and many headcanon the 5 to be great friends. There's many content and fanart of the Chibi Squad although some don't include Yaoyao in the ship because she is currently not a playable character and for the reason of that, some fans don't seem to know about her.
