Thomaya

Thomaya is the het ship between Thoma and Kamisato Ayaka from the Genshin Impact fandom.

Canon
Thoma is a loyal servant of Ayaka and her closest friend. According to Ayaka’s first character story, she went against the will of others and accepted Thoma into the Kamisato clan back when he was a commoner. Thoma has been devoted to Ayaka ever since and she trusts him completely.

Thoma was shown in Ayaka’s character demo. He watches her practice her swordplay, and claps while telling her that her form is flawless as ever. He suggests that she try a softer touch so no one gets hurt, and Ayaka asks him to spar with her more so she can improve, to which he agrees.

Archon Quest
Thoma takes the traveler to meet Ayaka, who is unable to speak to them face-to-face due to her noble status. Later, she appears in front of them and states that she is able to speak directly with people she considers friends, and that Thoma is one of those people.

When Thoma is captured by the Raiden Shogun, Ayaka is devastated and immediately plans to go save him with no regard for her own safety. The traveler calms her down and goes to rescue Thoma in her stead.

Quotes
"Thoma is a dear friend. He always lifts my spirits with his sunny disposition. In a sense, I think of him as another brother, and as a full member of the Kamisato Clan."

- Ayaka’s voiceline about Thoma

"[Ayaka] even went against the opinions of others and took in that commoner, Thoma."

- Ayaka’s first character story

Fanon
Thomaya has been the most popular ship for both characters ever since the closed beta. Ayaka had voicelines about a character named Thoma who seemed to be close with her. Once his model was leaked, shippers began drawing fanart of them. Since Thoma’s personality was originally unknown, his portrayal in early fanart varies greatly. At one point, a fake leak circulated that Thoma and Ayaka were engaged, which further fueled the ship.

The ship’s popularity grew again after Ayaka was released and shown interacting with Thoma in the game. Thoma’s dedication to serving Ayaka had many fans suspecting that he may be in love with her. Ayaka’s statement that she thinks of Thoma as a brother was a little disappointing to shippers, but it’s possible her feelings could change.

Thomaya rivals AyaLumi and Ayather.
