Genshin Impact/Ships

Ambercrose
 Ambercrose is the femslash ship between Amber and Sucrose.

Canon
The two have not been seen interacting in the canon timeline.

Sucrose has a voiceline about Amber, in which she speculates about why Amber's Baron Bunny is called what it is. "I'm curious to why her doll is called "Baron Bunny," it clearly has nothing to do with a rabbit at all. Oh, the headband makes it look like it has rabbit ears you say? Hmm... that's heavily reliant on the rabbit stereotype, is it not? Many rabbits' ears are floppy.".

Amber does not have a voiceline about Sucrose.

Fanon
This ship is relatively small as Sucrose is more commonly shipped with Albedo, and Amber is commonly shipped with Eula. And yet, a rare pair. However, some fans do enjoy the dynamic between Amber and Sucrose. Sucrose is one to hole herself up in a lab and do experiments all day, and the idea that Amber would drag Sucrose out to adventure is rather cute and heartwarming.

There are currently 14+ works of the two on AO3.

FAN FICTION

Trivia

 * Sucrose's English VA has mentioned that she ships Sucrose and Amber and would like to see more fanart of the two.

AsmoEi
 AsmoEi is the femslash ship between the Sustainer of Heavenly Principles and Raiden Ei.

Canon
The two have never interacted. They are both gods of Teyvat. However, the Sustainer, datamined to be named Asmoday, appears to be a god of Celestia. Ei is the Electro Archon and God of Eterity. She stopped using her gnosis long before the events of the game and thus has no connection to Celestia.

Ei's pursuit of eternity has also been connected to the Heavenly Principles. At the end of the Liyue Archon quest, Zhongli explains her reasoning, quoting: "Seven ideals for seven gods, and of these, Eternity is nearest unto the Heavenly Principles." Similarly, in the Raiden Shogun's character demo, she states: "Only through Eternity are you closest to the Heavenly Principles."

Fanon
AsmoEi is a rarepair in the fandom. Its main appeal is that they are seen as the Genshin version of Honkai's Kiamei. Asmoday is seen as the counterpart to Kiana as the Herrscher of the Void, with a similar design and the same CN and JP voice actors. Raiden Ei is a clear counterpart to Raiden Mei, with the same surname, electricity powers, voice actors, among other similarities.

The ship was at it's most popular before the release of Inazuma, where Raiden Ei's lore was unknown. Some theorized that Baal knew Asmoday and her current actions are an effort to reunite with her. After the release of Inazuma's Archon Quest, the theorized connection to Ei and Asmoday changed. This theory stipulates that Asmoday and Celestia in general is similar to the Honkai, which destroys civilizations once they advance too much. In turn, Ei wanted to maintain eternity and stop change in order to prevent Inazuma from being destroyed like Khaenri'ah was.

The release of Inazuma also brought the rise of EiSara and EiMiko as Ei's most popular ships, so AsmoEi decreased in popularity. Asomoday also started getting shipped with Raiden Makoto. Asmoday seems to have been the one to destory Khaenri'ah, which is where Makoto died. This ship allowed people to fulfil their want for an alternate universe Kiamei while still being able to ship EiMiko.

Trivia

 * The Herrscher of the Void and the Raiden Shogun have the same ability of walking through the air by making circular platforms below their feet.
 * The Herrscher of the Void's has many lines about inflicting judgement(most notably her ult), and the Raiden Shogun's character demo is named "Judgment of Euthymia."

AyaNilou
 AyaNilou is the femslash ship between Kamisato Ayaka and Nilou.

Fanon
AyaNilou is not a very popular ship. It gained traction when a meme about Nilou and Ayaka fighting for Aether's affections was posted on Twitter. People who dislike "Aether harem" jokes then started shipping Ayaka and Nilou. A popular headcanon is Ayaka and Nilou bonding over their shared interest in the arts and dance, and teaching each other the dances of their nation.

They currently have 13 works on AO3.

BeiTao
 BeiTao is the femslash ship between Beidou and Hu Tao.

Canon
The two have not interacted in the canon timeline. Both are playable characters from the region Liyue.

Hu Tao has a voiceline about Beidou, in which she shows her admiration for the leader of the Crux. "She doesn't know me, but that's cool, me just knowing about her is enough. Aw man... I really do wanna make friends with her.". She expresses her desire for wanting to befriend the pirate. Unfortunately for her, Beidou does not have a voiceline about her since she most likely doesn't know Hu Tao. It can somewhat be read as a relationship between an idol and a fan.

Quotes
"Beidou is well-known in Liyue. She doesn't know me, but that's cool, me just knowing about her is enough. Aw man... I really do wanna make friends with her."

- Hu Tao's voiceline about Beidou

Fanon
This ship is quite small as Hu Tao happens to not be shipped as much, and if she is, it's with a multitude of characters. Furthermore, Beidou is already involved in a much larger femslash ship with a certain Tianquan. There are one or two pieces of fanart.

On Ao3, there is currently 3 works depicting this pair.

ChiLither
 ChiLither is the poly ship between Tartaglia, Zhongli and Aether.

Canon
In Liyue's Chapter, Zhongli and Childe were the major characters within the chapter, meanwhile, Aether is the main character or protagonist of the story. The three are allies/friends, with Childe and Aether being somewhat, frenemies.

Voicelines
In Zhongli's Voiceline about Childe: Composed, Zhongli asks Aether to let him know if Childe gives him any trouble, saying that he shall deal with the matter swiftly. And lastly, in Zhongli's Voiceline again about Childe: Drinks, Zhongli asks if he could care to join when the time comes for the 4 of them to drink.

And then with Childe's Voiceline about Zhongli, as Zhongli fooled him, the only way to reconciliation was fierce combat. However, Aether stops him and tells that he is no match for him. Aether was aware of Zhongli's strength and knew that Childe would be defeated in combat against him.

Act II
Childe invited Aether to meet Zhongli at Liuli Pavilion and introduced Aether to Zhongli. After that, Aether go around Liyue with Zhongli to preparation for the rite of parting. During preparing for the rite of the parting, when Aether ran out of mora, Childe suddenly appeared, albeit, he did gave Aether enough mora. Childe tells him to not let Zhongli do the bargaining.

They met Qiqi at Bubu Pharmacy and help her find cocogoat, however, they couldn't until so they come to tell her that they couldn't find it. Until Baizhu appeared, he told them to pay about 3 million of mora but they didn't have enough mora so they asked Childe to pay it. And when they did, Childe seemed to laugh at them for falling for the cocogoat, but then continues to pay it. After that, Childe commanded his subordinate keep an eye on them.

Act III
Both, Aether and Childe were fooled by Zhongli when he turned out to be the Geo Archon, Morax himself.

Quotes
"Tell me, how has Mr. Zhongli been lately? Not bad, you say? Seems he's had no problem acclimating to "mortal" life. Hmph, he sure had me fooled. Such a fiasco mustn't be so easily forgiven! The only way to reconciliation is fierce combat! What do you mean I'm no match for him? Hahaha..."

- Childe's Voiceline about Zhongli: Challenge

"That rascal from Snezhnaya has yet to depart from Liyue? Heh, no matter, just let me know if he gives you any trouble. I shall deal with the matter swiftly."

- Zhongli's Voiceline about Childe: Composed

Fanon
ChiLither isn't that noticeable within the Genshin Impact fandom and is a rare pair, this was fueled due to the Act 2 of Liyue's Chapter. ChiLither gets overshadowed by ZhongChi and Xiaother, poly ships aren't that popular within the fandom. ChiLither has 12 works on AO3.

ChiLither dynamics are often depicted as 2 wallets and 1 broke god, as Zhongli frequently forgets his mora, Childe is rich and always give Aether some mora for just in case they ran out of it or Aether also has some mora.

Dventi
 Dventi is the friendship between Dvalin and Venti. AKA: Venlin, Dvanti, Venterror

Canon
In Venti's Character Teaser; Venti: The Four Winds. The video seemed all about Venti finding someone to implore, though the only one that he was able to implore was his first friend, Dvalin. When the screen faded away, Dvalin tells Venti to do some real work, then proceeds to call him Barbatos as Venti was Barbatos, the God of Freedom.

Archon Quest
In the Prologue; Act 1, when going to through the forest, the Traveler sees Venti and Dvalin. Venti told Dvalin to not worry as it's alright now since he's back, until the Traveler's powers started glowing and made a sound which made Dvalin scared and fly away while Venti disappeared.

In the Prologue; Act 2, after talking to Jean and Lisa to discuss about the teardrop crystal, the Traveler and Paimon then tried to find the green fellow who they met in the forest which was of course Venti. When the Traveler finally finds him, Venti was playing a lyre and started telling a story about the Anemo Archon and Dvalin. After the story, Venti realizes that he knew who the Traveler and Paimon since they scared Dvalin, when Paimon asks Venti if they're meant to be close, into which. Venti answered with "Oh, so close...". The Traveler showed him a teardrop crystal, Venti told him that the anguish that Dvalin felt has brought him to tears, telling that he was once such a gentle child and now so full of rage and suffering. Venti then tells the Traveler, even if Dvalin is not taken down, his life would still wither away in the breeze, he'll burn himself out in the flames of anger.

At the end of Act 2, Venti started playing the lyre to bring Dvalin back except, an abyss mage seemed to made Dvalin corrupted and having to tell him that he left him rotting alone, Venti tried to tell him that it wasn't like that but yet, failed so.

Fanon
Dventi is a semi-popular friendship among the Genshin Impact fandom. It's not normally shipped as a slash pairing, but when it is, it's always overshadowed by XiaoVen. It's also overshadowed by Venti's other ships like ZhongVen and Venther, though it's not overshadowed by any of Dvalin's ships as Dvalin doesn't have many ships. There are also some troll in the fandom, saying that Dvalin x Venti is the best ship though it's always controversial when treated as a slash, it's usually a joke for the ones who say that. There are currently 38+ gen works of Dvalin and Venti on AO3.

Eufei
 Eufei is the femslash ship between Eula Lawrence and Yanfei. AKA: Yanla, Eulanfei, Yanrence, Lawfei, Law and Order

Canon
The two were announced together in the trailer for the 1.5 update, and are presumably friends in canon. They frequently exchange letters, and both have stated that they find the other pleasant and an enjoyable person to speak with. However, at present time, the two have not interacted in-game.

In Eula's first voiceline about Yanfei, she tells the Traveler how she and her scouting team ended up saving Yanfei's life some time ago when they intercepted a load of dangerous cargo in Liyue Harbor sent by the Abyss Order. In her second voiceline about her, she states that she has kept in touch with Yanfei via correspondence since then. She says that she likes how intelligent the other is, and how she can adapt to situations easily. Also, she mentions Yanfei owes her a favor, and that she could take advantage of that to enlist help in tracking down someone she's looking for (presumably a family member, as Eula isn't particularly close with them anymore).

In Yanfei's voiceline about Eula, she talks about how Eula saved her and kept correspondence since, and says that she finds the both of them similar and that they get along well. Similar to Eula, she states that the other is flexible and able to adapt to situations well—however, she does say that she doesn't think she could ever be as carefree as Eula, as they are in very different lines of work.

Quotes
"Eula saved me once, and we've kept up correspondence ever since. She's very familiar with the Knights of Favonius' legislation, but has never been one to be bound by convention. She uses cunning logic to deal with problems flexibly... Perhaps the reason we get along so easily is that I'm a similar type myself. Still, I'll never acquire that carefree spirit of hers. We are in very different professions, after all."

- Yanfei's voiceline "About Eula"

"This one's a long story... we ended up saving her life once when we were tracking down a bunch of dangerous cargo that belonged to the Abyss Order. The Abyss Order had packed it up like regular cargo and wanted it shipped from Dornman Port to Liyue Harbor. She was acting as a consultant for the merchant vessel, where she discovered something in the cargo—and then began to investigate, putting herself in grave danger. Had we arrived just a few minutes later, it's likely she wouldn't have been so fortunate."

- Eula's voiceline "About Yanfei: Encounter"

"We've kept in touch ever since. I like how smart she is. She knows the rules but she also knows how to be flexible, and act according to the situation. A few of the knights would do well to take a leaf out of her book. Also, with her smarts, maybe she could help me track someone down that I've been looking for. She does owe me a favor from last time, after all."

- Eula's voiceline "About Yanfei: Assesment"

Fanon
Soon after the 1.5 trailer, their character details were leaked, and it was revealed they had voice lines of each other and were friends. Furthermore, in the special livestream for the update, one of the game's voice actors mentioned that the two had "special relations" with each other—leading many viewers to jokingly comment that they were girlfriends. Since Eula and Yanfei lacks interactions, the ship doesn't has as much rival ships as others, though some nameable rival ships exist—particularly EulAmber and YanTao.

Fans of the ship enjoy them for many reasons—some of the more prevalent ones being the red/blue color scheme, their opposing elements of pyro and cryo, and their contrasting personalities; Eula is more carefree, while Yanfei takes her work very seriously, creating a humorous dynamic between the two that fits in the "opposites attract" trope.

Fatui Harbingers
 Fatui Harbingers is the poly ship between Tartaglia, Scaramouche and Signora. AKA: SigScaraChilde

Canon
The three serve under The Tsaritsa, who's the Cryo archon and takes lead of the people of Snezhnaya. With Scaramouche being the sixth and under the alias Balladeer, Signora being the eighth and going under the alias The Fair Lady, and Tartaglia being the newest and youngest Fatui Harbinger, being the eleventh and going under the alias Childe. Out of the eleven, the three are more known in-game, other Harbingers that are mentioned is Pulcinella and Dottore. The Fatui Harbingers titles are based off "Commedia dell'arte".

It's known that the Scaramouche is the most disliked Harbinger due to him having a disagreeable personality. Meanwhile it seems like Tartaglia and Signora have an unsteady relationship when it comes to business. As after the gnosis being discovered to be with Zhongli the whole time, Tartaglia gets angry at Signora and Zhongli for fooling him. Their relationship as a whole is unknown, but the Fatui Harbingers are known to be extremely loyal to their lady, The Tsaritsa. With Snezhnaya being a future nation to be released soon, it's very much possible the three will make an appearance.

The three of them all currently behold delusions, which were given by Tsaritsa. Tartaglia beholds an electro delusion, as shown in the battle between Traveler and him in the Golden House. It's said that Signora's delusion is Cryo as she used it against Venti, but it's unknown if it's really her delusion as she wasn't shown wearing a vision when she stole Venti's gnosis. Scaramouche's vision and delusion is currently unknown as he only appeared in an event, but it's most likely he'll appear in Inazuma with his vision. It's implied that his vision is electro due to his character design, and most of the characters in game tend to relate with their design to their vision.

Fanon
It's one the most popular poly ships not including fan written works. With the Fatui Harbingers being an official group in the game, it's known that they're wealthy and hold a lot of power. Although, some fans would prefer this ship as a friendship or an ordinary trio.

- Gorou about Heizou

"General Gorou's constant suspicion made my trip to Watatsumi Island much more eventful... Everywhere I went, there were soldiers keeping me under close surveillance.

Canon
Both Noelle and Barbara live in Mondstadt, while Lumine is seen in Mondstadt as the honorary knight. They haven't interacted much or even at all as a trio, though they all seem to know each other. In the story quests, Lumine gets along and helps in both of their Hangout events. And unlike the main story, Lumine becomes friends with Noelle and Barbara in their hangout events, and though Noelle wasn’t mentioned, or at Barbara’s Hangout event, Barbara also wasn’t mentioned, nor at Noelle’s. Despite this, all three have at least one voiceline about each other.

They are alike, but have their differences. Noelle is a hard working knight relying to get into the Knights of Favonius. Barbara is a determined singer, attempting to be as good as her sister, and Lumine is determined to find her lost sibling and help out Teyvat while she's at it.

Fanon
LuNoeBarb Is a rare-pair In the Genshin Impact fandom, but has a few supporters. The ship is overshadowed by many other ships, such as, Fischelle, ChiLumi, XiaoLumi, ZhongLumi, Barbnyan and Barbennett. People might ship due to how similar all three of them are, or because they can’t decide between Noemine and Barbelle. On AO3, The ship currently has no fanfictions.

Moqing
 Moqing is the femslash ship between Keqing and Mona Megistus. AKA: Astrocat, Kemona, Lightning Star, MonKe

Canon
There is yet, no canon interactions between the two as Mona is from Mondstadt, while Keqing is from Liyue. Nor they also have mentioned each other. Saying that, there currently isn’t any contents between the two, which makes this a "rarepair" in the Genshin Impact fandom

Though they've never met, the two have a few similarities. They both have blueish lavender color schemes, they have the medium woman body type, they’re both playable characters and have visions. Gameplay-wise Mona and Keqing are seen to be paired together in team comps. Due to the fact that they can do the elemental reaction Electro-charged constantly. Mona’s Constellation 1 (Prophecy of Submersion) increases Hydro-related Elemental Reactions for 8s by 15%. Meaning, if paired up with Keqing the damage output would be slightly increased, making their combat compatibility even higher.

Fanon
Moqing is a "rarepair" within the Genshin Impact fandom but despite that, it's seemingly relatively popular in some way. They are being shipped due to the dynamics of the ship and their aesthetics. However, Moqing has yet to increase in popularity, being rarely talked about on social media. Moqing is often overshadowed by Ganqing, Keqiao, Monafischl, and ScaraMona. There are currently 88+ works of this ship on AO3, even though they have never met or mentioned eachother.

Rosamona
 Rosamona is the femslash ship Rosaria and Mona Megistus.

Canon
There is no current canon interactions between the two, nor do they have any voicelines about each other. While having no interactions, their personalities are almost opposites. Rosaria doesn't like talking much, often trying to avoid people, meanwhile Mona appears to talk a lot usually praising herself. When playing Mona and sprinting, Mona goes underneath into random water while sprinting which only one other character can currently do, while Rosaria has a 10% speed boost when sprinting at night, which is currently only limited to herself. The two most likely would go well in a freeze-team, as Mona is a Hydro vision user and Rosaria uses a Cryo vision. Despite both being from Mondstadt, as mentioned before, both have probably no idea about either one of them.

Rosaria and Mona both currently have a very little amount popular ships.

Fanon
Rosamona has a small fanbase in this fandom. TikTok and Twitter are two medias who have some fans there.

Quotes
"Hey, pal! How have you been? You must have traveled far and wide since we last saw each other, right? For me, I can only seek out some entertainment for myself. These past couple of days, I've used a work opportunity to explore Dragonspine and seek out some local specialties. I hope they will be of use to you. The harsh cold of the snow-capped mountains is reminiscent to the scenery of my hometown... Sigh, I've had many mundane days that makes me nostalgic of our time together. Whether it's a fight or a challenge, I always feel that having you around is what makes life really interesting. Haha, to be honest, I've been planning a special day to meet up with you, today could be that chance! If you have no special plans, how about you swing by my place?"

YoiTao
<div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%"> YoiTao is the femslash ship between Naganohara Yoimiya and Hu Tao. AKA: TaoMiya, Humiya, TaoYoi, Hu Yoi, MiyaTao

Canon
Naganohara Yoimiya and Hu Tao have never canonically interacted nor mentioned each other throughout the story line. The two also have no voice lines about each other as well.

Naganohara Yoimiya and Hu Tao have somewhat of a connection with butterflies. Naganohara Yoimiya has a butterfly necklace, meanwhile butterflies appear when Hu tao sprints. Hu Tao's elemental skill, 'Guide to the Afterlife', is also a butterfly icon. This is because in Chinese myths and superstition, it is believed that butterflies and moths are the souls of relatives returning to visit them, especially when it happens during or after a funeral. Either the souls of our relatives have regrets or are simply saying goodbye before silently fluttering away.

Considering the fact that Yoimiya and Hu Tao are both the head of their respective associations and are somehow called troublemakers in their respective regions, it can be speculated that they would get along pretty well. Even their jobs are a contrast - since funerals are associated with sadness and a heavy atmosphere while Fireworks are used in celebrations and festivals. They are both loud, cheerful and extrovert girls who are also hardworking and serious at times.

Both also share other similarities, like having a parental figure who is way older and very impactful in their lives - that being Yoimiya's father and Hu Tao's Grandpa. Yoimiya and Hu Tao have similar color schemes that could blend together aesthetically, and both share a pyro vision.

Fanon
YoiTao is a relatively popular ship from the Genshin Impact fandom, despite the two characters having no on-screen interaction. Mostly, due to Yoimiya and Hu Tao's energetic personality, or Naganohara Yoimiya's necklace that was most likely given by Hu tao, since Hu tao, the only one who has been seen with butterflies near her. Yoitao is mostly interpreted as an 'Long-Distance Relationship' trope. Currently, there are sixteen Yoitao fanfics on AO3.

In early June, Yoitao has found itself being seen as a newly found rarepair, and only enjoyed by a few players. In the later months of 2021 and 2022, the Genshin Impact fandom has increased the number of works and arts.
