Barbelle

Barbelle is the femslash ship between Barbara Pegg and Noelle from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Noelle and Barbara have never canonically interacted in the current story. Both, are admiring Jean, as Noelle's big idol to become a knight is Jean and Barbara acknowledging that Jean is perfect, unlike herself. Both, also seem to take their duty very serious. In Noelle's hangout events with the traveler it's shown that she really can't say "no" when someone needs her help. Similarly, Barbara always wants to make everyone idolize her, because she thinks that's the duty of an idol.

Furthermore, in terms of gameplay, both are also element users, while Barbara's element is Hydro, Noelle's element is Geo. And they can heal using their elemental skill.

Voicelines
Both, Noelle and Barbara have a voiceline about each other: In Barbara's voiceline about Noelle she compliments her as "the cutest". She further says that Noelle is so kind and patient and you can feel so relaxed around her. Barbara also compliments Noelle's cooking as "delicious", and that the best part about Noelle's cooking is that her creations are also healthy and not just tasty.

In Noelle's voiceline about Barbara she says that she and Barbara often take tea breaks with each other. Noelle also says that when she's with Barbara, Barbara often gets inspired and starts to hum a tune. She then further says that she isn't the right person to give useful feedback on anything musical, but that she still loves to spend time with Barbara.

Quotes
"We take tea breaks together sometimes. Often she'll start humming a tune, saying inspiration has come to her. I'm not the right person to give useful feedback on anything musical... But I still love spending time with Barbara."

Fanon
Barbelle isn't really a well known ship within the Genshin Impact fandom, although it can't be considered a rare-pair either. The ship sailed, because of Barbara's voiceline about Noelle, where she compliments her as cute. Others might also enjoy the ship, because Noelle and Barbara have some similarities. Furthermore, some also like the ship because Barbara and Noelle appear to be around the same age old, as both look like highschool girls (around 16 years old). So there aren't any problems age-wise.

The ship currently has 60 stories on AO3 (romantic) and 13 stories on the gen side.
