Marahope is the femslash ship between Mara and Light Hope from the She-Ra and the Princesses of Power fandom.

Canon
Light Hope is the AI construct assigned to Mara by the First Ones to aid in her training as She-Ra. Mara and Light Hope came to Etheria together to study its magic for use the Heart of Etheria project, although Mara is unaware of the projects goal. While on Etheria the two become friends, with Mara simple calling Light Hope, "Hope". When Razz first meets Mara and searches her ship for sugar, Mara convinces Light Hope not to report the incidence by giving her puppy eyes.

While training in the Crystal Castle, Mara brings Light Hope flowers as she feels bad that Light Hope is alone in the castle while she explores Etheria. Light Hope tells her she doesn't mind because Mara comes to visit her, and then transforms the floor to look like a field of flowers that Mara brought. This is the only memory Light Hope still has of Mara by the time Adora is She-Ra. She tells Adora that the memory brings brings her warmth.

At some unknown point in the future Mara becomes aware of what the Heart of Etheria project truly is and seeks to stop this. Light Hope tries to stop Mara, however Mara tells her she is not Light Hope, to which Light Hopes notes "I am the same basic operating system." Mara damagers the new Light Hope and traps Etheria in a pocket dimension before seemingly succumbing to her wounds.

Fanon
The She-Ra fandom did not expect any major ships to develop with Light Hope as many were already subconscious of her true motives during season 1. However as Mara and Light Hope's backstory was revealed the fandom embraced the ship. Some theories that Mara may still be alive somewhere and the two could be reunited in the final season.
