Miphvali

Miphvali is a het ship between Mipha and Revali from The Legend of Zelda fandom.

Canon
Both Mipha and Revali are Champions of Divine Beasts, Vah Ruta and Vah Medoh respectively and both are given the mission to protect Hyrule from Calamity Ganon's rampage. Their interactions are very rare, though they do acknowledge each other at various points.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
When the Champions are first assembled at Hyrule Castle at the inaugoration ceremony during The Champions Ballad cutscene, Mipha and Revali inevitably meet each other, and they both take an interest in Princess Zelda's Sheikah Slate with Revali taking it from her hands to study it before he passes it to Mipha to let her have a look. After Mipha asks Zelda for a favor regarding a photo shoot, Purah assembles Link, Princess Zelda, Mipha, Daruk, Revali, and Urbosa and tells everyone to move into position. When she tells the nervous Mipha looking tense and advises her to take deep breaths, Revali can be seen looking at her as though he looks concerned and once she does calm down, he smiles at her.

During the Subdued Ceremony, Link's personal ceremony, as Revali chastises Daruk over his idea about the ceremony and how abysmal it was due to Zelda's depressed tone, Mipha can be seen glaring at him, though he does not notice her doing it at all. In the fifteenth cutscene, Return of Calamity Ganon, Mipha and Revali were present at the east gate when Calamity Ganon appeared, prompting the Champions to head to their Divine Beasts, though both of them are killed by Waterblight Ganon and Windblight Ganon along with the other two Champions.

Once Link has freed the Divine Beasts, Mipha and Revali, alongside the other Champions who are all spirits, will open fire on Calamity Ganon to bring its health to its halfway point.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
Even when Breath of the Wild barely has them have dialogue with each other, this game, though set in an alternate timeline, makes up for it. In the cutscenes, Mipha does continue to show some mild annoyance towards Revali when he starts taking his anger out at Link or Daruk, and snarking at Hestu.

During gameplay, Mipha and Revali's relationship develops even more which is shown often during the scenarios and challenges whenever they are paired as battle partners. It has been shown that Mipha shows a great deal of respect for Revali and does not hesitate to praise him when he takes out a group of monsters and does get nervous when she is sparring with him in certain challenges considering it was her with a melee trident against him with a ranged bow. At the same time, Revali, while normally an abrasive proud Rito, is surprisingly much sweeter towards her and never had anything bad to say about her. This is shown when Mipha is the one defeating a group of monsters, where Revali praises her saying, "Your efforts are admirable, Mipha." which shows that he does indeed respect her skills, and when Mipha meets with Revali when he is brawling with the dark forces, he tells her, "Thank you Mipha, but try to look out for yourself for a change.", which he is trying to say that he does appreciate her help, but she also has to look out for herself since he also recognized that she has the power to heal others which is very important for her allies. Even then, Revali is still willing to test her strength when they go toe to toe in a duel with each other and is also shown to be capable of keeping his dignity intact when he gets defeated by her.

Fanon
The shipping between the two of them is relatively common among those in the Zelda community. Even when Mipha and Revali don’t get much dialogue with each other, fans noticed their subtle non-verbal interactions around one another, one notable moment they take notice of the scene in the Champions Ballad cutscene where the photo shoot was taking place where he looks concerned at Mipha being nervous and smiling at her which gave the impression that Revali had a crush on her. Their gameplay interactions further imply that there is more to their relationship than them just being teammates.

Much of the Miphvali fanfics usually involve them helping each other become more open, from Mipha’s side, Mipha, still being her gentle self, also being the Pollyanna Archetype, where during her bond with Revali, she would often believe that there is much more to Revali than him being an arrogant jerk and it has her helping him through his insecurities and helping him to break out of his shell to which he begins to become more comfortable to be fully honest with her. From Revali's side, he is often very timid around her, and his proud nature often taking over which would be an obstacle that would make it harder for him to admit that he is in love with her, though he does start to interact with her more, with their relationship developing to the point where it would blossom into romance. For both of them, they are very much devoted to each other whether they are away or together.
