DiaMari

DiaMari is the femslash ship between Dia Kurosawa and Mari Ohara from the Love Live! fandom.

Canon
Mari and Dia were childhood friends along with Kanan. They became school idols together, but stopped after Mari hurt her leg at their performance in Tokyo. After about two years, Mari visits Dia. She hugs her and pats her head. Mari says it's been so long since she saw her, and Dia thought Mari was gone for good when she left in her first year.

Dia and Mari meet again later in her office. Mari says the school is going to close down and combine with another if they don't get enough students. Dia knew that already and Mari knew Dia knew. Mari says that's why they need school idols and sticks her hand out. Dia turns and says she'll resolve the problem her own way. Mari stops Dia and tells her she can't keep running away, she has to move forward. Dia says she isn't running away, and continues on her way. Mari becomes concerned.

Later, Dia visits Mari, which Mari anticipated. Dia is concerned about what will happen when Aqours goes to perform in Tokyo. Mari says Dia is free to stop them, but she might want to consider hoping that they'll be able to overcome what Dia, Mari and Kanan could not. Dia gets a little irritated and abruptly puts her hand on the wall next to Mari and looks her in the eye, saying she hasn't changed since "then".

In Season 2, Episode 11, Mari is making Stewshine and Dia is with her, wondering if it's really okay to be cooking in the club room and for the school director to be in charge of a booth. Mari conveys her view to Dia about how everyone wants to put all their feelings about the school into their closing festival, despite the third years being busy this time of year, and Dia understands. Mari then stamps Dia's forehead with the "Approved" stamp.
