MariLumi is the femslash ship between Mariha Monzen and Lumina Rikujo from the Hidden Bats fandom.

Canon
Mariha and Lumina had been childhood friends since elementary school, but grew apart over the years. Mariha states they are still friends, though they don't talk much anymore. The two had both gone missing one day, soon discovering that they had both been kidnapped. Lumina describes Mariha as being "very dear" to her, and that she was scared of being alone, but the other being there calmed her down. The two work together to solve a puzzle, in which Mariha wonders why the kidnapper is making her and Lumina cooperate with eachother.

A conflict starts after Lumina makes a typo while trying to help Mariha out with a puzzle. The puzzle is solved by Mariha entering Lumina's birthday. However, instead of typing 2001/5/11, Lumina types out 2001/5/1. Being in a considerably weak state of mental health, Mariha overreacts to this and assumes Lumina is lying to her on purpose. Despite knowing the others real birthday, Mariha decides to enter the wrong one instead. Mariha then decides to block Lumina. The two rant about each other on their respective accounts, Mariha even wanting to hurt Lumina, as well as suspecting that she was the one behind her capture.

After the two escape, Mariha expresses how happy she is that Lumina was able to get out as well, and apologizes for what she did to her. Similarly, Lumina is also glad Mariha was rescued. However, she believes she is not ready to meet Mariha yet, and decides that sorting her feelings out first is more important. The two both hope that they can become friends again someday.

Fanon
Upon finding out that Mariha and Lumina knew each other, jokes starting to conspire of the two being in a relationship. The jokes grew even more at the reveal of the two being childhood friends. The support for the ship had been even more fueled after Lumina said that Mariha calmed her down and was "very dear" to her. Following the conflict between the two, a joke edit was made, featuring the two in front of a lesbian flag with the word "DIVORCE" on top.

In attempt to rescue them both, some fans attempted to tie the votes on who would be saved. Many were enticed by the lore between the two, either wanting to see them fight, or just wanting to see how the two would interact upon both escaping in general. In the end, the votes ended up being tied, and the two were both saved.

After the two had escaped, and after Mariha's apology, another edit had been made. This time, it was the same edit with the lesbian flag, this time the word "DIVORCE" is scribbled out and replaced with "THE WEDDING IS BACK ON!", surrounded by several emojis. Majority of the replies to Mariha's apology post are just fans spamming this same image.
