Vikmara

Vikmara is the femslash ship between Viktoriya Malikova and Amara Namani from the Pacific Rim fandom.

Canon
Nate introduces Amara to the cadets and tells Viktoriya to get Amara ready for training. When they leave, Amara starts to ask where she should go, and Viktoriya brings up Amara's jaeger. Amara starts to explain how Scrapper works, but Viktoriya interupts and tells her that if she wants to make junk, be a mechanic not a pilot. Amara is confused when Jinhai helps her get settled. He jokes about her and Vik already being buddies and Amara asks what her problem is. Another cadet says that Vik failed the entrance exam three times, so really doesn't like how Amara was just brought in. Jinhai says that he'll teach her russian since it calms Vik down.

When the cadets are joking about Suresh only having half a jaeger at his funeral, Vik says that's where she heard they found Amara. Amara says that it wasn't half, she was whole, just very small. She calls Vik by her fullname, and Vik climbs down and gets in her face. Vik says bigger is better, and Amara says "kiss my ass" in Russian, believing it means something else. Vik then puts Amara in a chokehold, and says that Amara didn't work to be here like she did. That she was just trash they picked up. Amara breaks the chokehold and is able to get Vik in a hold. She says that she learned that on the streets when Nate walks in. They break out of their fight and Amara yells that Vik jumped her while Amara yells that she doesn't belong at the PPCD. Nate doesn't care and gives a speech on Mako as Vik and Amara continue to stare angrily at each other.

Fanon
Vikmara is a little more rare in the Pacific Rim fandom overall, given the lack of love for Uprising. It is still shipped rather often among Uprising fans. Their initial tension and chemistry lead to shipping the two, them being often shipped alongside other Pacific Rim pairings. Both fic and art typically have them as a background pair. Mostly for Lamcost or Newmann. Uprising fans of these ships typically tend to get along, and there are no major rivals for the pair.

On AO3, Vikmara is the most written ship for both Amara and Viktoriya.
