5WIRL

5WIRL is the poly ship between Aether, Kaedehara Kazuha, Venti, Xiao and Shikanoin Heizou from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
All five of the boys are playable Anemo characters. When it comes to their attacks, there are very few similarities if you rule out their shared ability of Anemo. Kazuha can use his elemental skill in the air like Xiao. Kazuha and Aether are both sword users, though the other three boys all have different weapons. Heizou is a catalyst user, Venti is a bow user and Xiao is a polearm user.

Xiao and Venti are acquaintances as Venti has saved Xiao. Venti has also met Kazuha during the Irodori Festival. Aether has met Kazuha, Venti and Xiao, and Aether meets Heizou during his Hangout Event, and Heizou and Kazuha are friends. The latter two are both from Inazuma but the other three in the group are from different nations. Venti is from Mondstadt, Xiao is from Liyue and Aether is a traveler.

The five boys have some similarities when it comes to appearance. Heizou, Kazuha, Venti and Xiao all have multiple colors in their hair. Along with that, Kazuha has platinum blond hair in a ponytail while Aether has bright blond hair in a braid. Xiao and Venti have similar color schemes with green and blue. Aether and Xiao both have golden eyes. Venti and Heizou also have green eyes, though they're different shades.

Fanon
5WIRL was created when Heizou's design was released and when he was revealed to be an Anemo character. Fans added Heizou to the already existing 4NEMO group. 4NEMO's name was changed to things such as "5WIRL," "AN5MO" and "5NEMO" since 4NEMO then had five members. However, some decided to keep the name "4NEMO" since there could be five members but the number four in the group name, similarly to 4★Town from Turning Red. Though, some decided to remove Aether from 4NEMO to add Heizou and keep the number of members at four. A lot of fan art of 5WIRL was made shortly after its creation, though there isn't any fan fiction of 5WIRL so far.
