EulAmber is the femslash ship between Eula and Amber from the Genshin Impact fandom.
Canon[]
Eula and Amber are both members of the Knights of Favonius. Eula is the Captain of the Knights of Favonius Reconnaissance Company and Amber is an Outrider of the Knights.
Eula is not well liked by the other people of Mondstadt because of her family. She is a descendant of the once-aristocratic Lawrence Clan, also known as the oppressors of Mondstadt during one of the darkest periods if the city's history. Amber always sees the best in people, so the same goes for Eula. Amber is one of the few who truly understands Eula for who she is. Amber even helped Eula with her debut in the Knights, by cleaning her room, showing her around, or helping her with simple tasks. In fact, Amber is very kind to Eula.
Voicelines[]
They each have a voice line about each other. Amber's talks about how great Eula really is and how misunderstood she is as well. She mentions that Eula is a great friend of hers, and that her sense of humor may be a little odd, but is okay once you get used to it. Then she wonders how she can get other people to see Eula for who she really is.
Eula's voice line about Amber comes across as more of a sisterly "tsundere" type, as she talks about how Amber helped her with a number of things when she first joined the Knights, mentioning that "everyone looks at her like the older sibling who needs the younger sibling to do everything for them. Because of this, she must pay!"
Character Story[]
Eula's short vision story tells a bit about how she was mentored by "a long-forgotten old Outrider" who is believed to be Amber's grandfather.
Eula's third character story focuses entirely on Amber. She begins by talking about how Mondstadt is the city of freedom, and if "there is one person among the Mondstadt masses that Eula can trust, it is Outrider Amber". How everyone loves Amber, so when the Outrider is around, people will be friendlier to Eula, and shopkeepers will sell their wares at a cheaper price; sometimes they will even exchange a few words with Eula, causing the knight to show a friendlier side in return.
Because of this, and Amber's kindness, Amber will accompany Eula on trips out, run errands for her, or deliver goods directly to her home. Amber is also the main reason why the citizens of Mondstadt hear about Eula's long list of achievements, and she makes sure to brag about the Spindrift Knight to all the townspeople.
"Early one weekend morning, Amber stood behind a makeshift rostrum erected on a wooden crate and began announcing Eula's latest highlights". Through the combined efforts of Amber's work for her friend and Eula's impressive work, Eula's life began to noticeably change over the years. Many people are less aggressive toward her, including other Knights who are impressed by her consistently excellent work. As for the members of the Reconnaissance Company, they follow Eula loyally and support her unconditionally.
Of all the others, however, the person who has been most supportive of Eula, who has worked tirelessly on her behalf, and who is now most pleased to see the change in attitudes toward Eula, is Amber. "They had been friends for a long time before Eula ever joined the Knights of Favonius, and as the granddaughter and beloved mentee of the first Outrider, Eula trusts her completely."
In Game[]
Eula's specialty food is the Moon Pie, and in Amber's voice line "Amber's Troubles", she says, " Oh... Do you have any idea how to make a decent Moon Pie?". This could be interpreted as Amber wanting to make Eula's specialty food for her.
Story Quest[]
In Eula's story quest, the Traveler tells Amber about a member of the Lawrence Clan, Schubert Lawrence, after Amber tries to help them. Amber then tells the Traveler a bit about the Lawrence Clan. She mentions that they tend to be a bit difficult to deal with. Still, she praises and defends Eula, saying that Eula is her buddy, that she's special, and that she's portraying her, too. Amber goes on to brag a bit about Eula, saying that she has her own beliefs, and that it shows. She then says that Eula is very easy to get along with, before directing the Traveler to her for their task.
Later on, when the Traveler meets with Eula, they mention that Amber told them to look for Eula. Upon hearing this, Eula agrees to help out the Traveler, saying, "Besides, if it's the Acting Grand Master's assignment, and Amber's the one who recommended me, I should comply". In this case, she uses Amber's name instead of "Outrider", which shows familiarity.
After the trials in Dragonspine, Eula and the Traveler return to Mondstadt and go to the Good Hunter, where Amber is standing. Amber greets them and says, "Oh, hey, Eula! I see you've met the Honorary Knight!". Paimon greets her in return, and then Amber invites them all to sit down and eat together. Eula smiles and replies, "Very well. It's been some time since we've last shared a meal together". As they talk, Amber mentions that Eula once treated her to Schubert's favorite dish, but the pyro-girl couldn't finish a bite because of the sour taste. Eula replies that she never expected for the two of them to have completely different tastes in food, and then says that if she weren't in such a good mood then that alone would be cause for her vengeance.
At this point, the Traveler says, "Huh, so even Amber doesn't escape your vengeance?". Eula replies that it's hard to find anyone in Mondstadt who "attracts as much contempt as she does". Cheerfully, Amber says, "Haha, it's fine when you're joking between us, but I'm afraid our Honorary Knight might misunderstand you". Amber then tells the Traveler that Eula is always talking about vengeance, but that's just the way she is and they shouldn't take it too seriously. Eula stubbornly replies that she is serious and will remember every transgression committed against her. After the meal, Amber says she'll pay the bill, to which Eula mentions that she's already left Mora under the plate to account for the extra salad she received.
Shadows Amidst Snowstorms[]
In this event, Amber invited Eula to Dragonspine to help the Adventurer's Guild, which was hosting an event to help its members train in ideal and safe conditions, and to built a snowman with a child named Joel. Amber decided to continue playing with Joel while Eula helped an adventurer.
After the Traveler left, Eula came to confront Albedo about what he had done to Joel, or what an impostor had done. During this time, Amber searches for Eula, shouting her name out loud. When Amber joins them, Eula begins to lie to her, saying, "There have been a few minor incidents. But nothing I haven't already dealt with," so as not to involve her. Then, they go back to the camp with Bennett.
In Act 2, while talking to Albedo, the Traveler heard the sound of rocks falling. It was Amber, Bennett and Eula. Because of Bennett's bad luck, they hadn't made it to the base camp yet. After seeing another time of Bennett's bad luck, Eula said to Amber, "Amber, if you are ever required to partner with Bennett in your future work and you encounter anything like this again, do not make any rash action. Wait for me and I will come to support you." Amber replies in a confused manner that yes, of course. Then, Amber says that she feels tired, so Albedo suggests that they rest at his camp. Hearing that Amber says she's tired again, Eula says, "Amber will fall asleep in the snow if we keep going much longer... Come on, let's move!"
In Albedo's camp, while Albedo is preparing dinner, if you decide to talk to Eula about the snowman, she says that Amber said that the snowman she made was too artistic, and the conventional style was more rotund in appearance, and Eula couldn't tell if she was complimenting her or mocking her. When you ask her how she is doing, she says we should talk to Amber and Bennett since they're not as familiar with Dragonspine as she is. When you decide to talk to Amber about what happened today, she compliments Eula saying, "Eula is a good person. She might not show it, but she'd never let that kind of stuff get to her".
While eating, Bennett falls asleep and mentions Sticky Honey Roast. Eula looks at Amber and says, "Sticky Honey Roast... That's your favorite, isn't it, Amber?" and Amber confirms it. Then Amber says that she used to take Eula to Good Hunter a lot back when they first met. Since they always took the same thing everytime, Sara would start cooking their usual orders as soon as she saw them coming. When Amber finished her anecdote, Eula cleared her throat, and after Paimon said, "Aw, it's nice that you two are so close." Eula denies it by raising her chin and putting her hands on her hips, saying that two people simply sharing a meal says nothing about the relationship between them. Albedo argues that it depends on whether it's a one-time meal or a regular occurrence. Paimon notices her behavior and says that she always does that when Eula doesn't want to admit something. Amber already knew this and didn't know that Eula's deceptions were so easy to spot. Eula got annoyed, stood up and asked if she could go.
After saying that she has a frozen lake she needs to get to, Amber gets up too worried about going for an ice bath at this time of the night and tells Eula not to go without her. Eula thought she wanted to get some sleep, but Amber argues, "No, I should come with you. It's late and it's dark, and you're not good with directions like I am. Come on let's go together". Then, they left.
The next day, on their way back to the adventurers' camp, a rock falls, warning them of an avalanche. Eula grabs Amber and and covers her with herself to protect her from the falling rocks. Since Bennett and Albedo fell during the avalanche, they all go down to rescue them. After they've found them, something is bothering Eula and the Traveler. When Amber said that she didn't think she'd spent so much time on Dragonspine before, and even though it's cold, the view is amazing, when she asked Eula about it, she didn't answered, lost in her thoughts. Eula asked Amber to repeat it again, and Amber said, "Whenever I've met with you at Dragonspine in the past, we always stick to the same few spots," and that it was so much bigger and more beautiful than she realized. Although Eula still seemed distracted, she agreed.
Everyone continues to follow Albedo, and Eula interrupts the hike because Amber and Bennett didn't look well and ask for a break. Eula noticed that Amber had bumped her head earlier, and embarrassed, Amber asked if she was sure it's worth stopping everyone for a little thing like that. While resting, Bennett, Amber, and Eula talked. When Eula said to get some rest, Amber chuckled and said, "Eula might come off as a little frosty, but she takes caring for her friends super seriously, more than anyone else I know. Everytime I see that look on her face, I'm just like-". Then Eula stares angrily at Amber, who begs her to stop staring at her.
Suddenly, "Albedo" attacks Eula and the Traveler. They all fight back, and at some point, one Albedo stabs the other. It was actually the impostor turned into a Fellflower, a giant Whoopperflower that they have to fight. When the fight is over, Amber asks what's going on because she doesn't understand. Back at camp, the first thing Eula asks is if Amber is feeling any better, worried about her. She expresses that it has been quite an eventful day, and Amber agrees, adding that she is really tired now. Then they leave to get some rest. After the Act ends, you can find Eula and Amber with Joel near the snowman.
Promotional Content[]
In her trailer, Eula: Flickering Candlelight, Eula pauses her dance to ask Amber, "Are you here to spy on me?" (direct translation: "How long are you going to spy on me for?"). After being caught, Amber said that she was only looking for Eula because she was worried about her. Eula then asked Amber to tango with her. In the direct translation, she says, "Have a dance with the sinner," while in the translated version, she says, "It takes two to tango". Flustered, Amber responds with a confused "Huh?" as the trailer ends.
On Genshin Impact's Twitter (Japanese ver.), there is a trailer showing the upcoming features of the Serenitea Pot, in which you can place playable characters inside. In the house, Eula and Amber were placed next to each other, talking to each other near the front.
In the Version 2.3 "Shadows Amidst Snowstorms" trailer, Amber and Joel build a snowman in Dragonspine while Eula watches and worries about something. Later, they fight "Albedo" with Bennett.
Also in the related soundtrack "Genshin Impact EP - Gentle Waves of Frost", at the end of the second sound "The Horizon", we can see Eula and Amber walking towards the mountain to the place where the event begins.

Fanon[]
The ship became instantly popular as soon as people saw the interaction between Amber and Eula in the latter's demo trailer, making the ship's growth one of the fastest in Genshin's shipping history. The way Amber was fascinated by Eula's moves and then visibly confused when Eula invited her to dance, or how Eula knew in advance about her spying in advance and invited her to dance in a rather bold manner, has often been interpreted as the possibility of playful romantic or platonic tension between them.
As a result, their dance has become the dominant theme in the fan art dedicated to this pairing. Fans of the ship also often like to combine the two girls as a Pyro-Cryo combo in their teams, also noting that this combination is well emphasized by the contrast of red and blue in their appearance.
Eula's story quest only deepened this ship, as it also looked into the relationship between the two girls and it was found out that they have been good friends for a long time. Eula's temper, or the fact that Amber seems to be actually the only resident of the city who fully respects and trusts Eula, only added fuel to the ship. Especially with Eula returning the trust, mentioning that she trusts Eula completely, and considering how skeptical and distrustful Eula is of others, it means a lot to her to put her complete trust in someone.
Since the ships with Amber were mostly ships with characters who had much more popular ships with other characters, and since Eula had only recently appeared and interacted with Amber the most, this ship easily became, if not the most, then one of the most popular for both characters. While not everyone shares the interpretation of the romantic potential of this pairing as Eula's voice line about Amber sees her as a younger sister, many people still tend to agree that this ship looks cute and stands out from others.

Trivia[]
- In the description of the Snowman Head: Huff-and-Puff of Shadows Amidst Snowstorms, it says that Amber used the Eula's expression to make this kind of snowman head ("It is said that the very first snowman of this kind was built by an Outrider who used her good friend's default expression as reference. Her friend's response to this flattering imitation? Laughter. Surprising laughter.")[1]
