Namiri is the femslash ship between Namora and Riri Williams from the Marvel Cinematic Universe fandom.
Canon[]
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever[]
Namora and Riri officially met after Namora kidnapped her and Shuri along with other Talokan warriors. Riri tried to run away from the police, together with Shuri and Okoye. But before Riri was intercepted, Namora's harpoon broke her suit and knocked it down, making Riri faint. By the time she woke up, she had been taken along with Shuri to Talokan by Namora. Shuri tried to calm her down so that she was not scared. Namora arrives together with another Talokan girl. Before they take Shuri to talk to Namora's cousin, Namor, Riri stops Shuri so that she doesn't leave her alone. While she does that, Nama looks at them with interest and curiosity.
After Nakia rescues and takes Shuri and Riri to Wakanda, it doesn't take long before Namora, who accompanied Namor, went to attack Wakanda. Namora told Namor where Riri was. Namor takes the hydrobombs and after Shuri's mother dies, she tries to send Riri with her family to put her safe. Riri refuses due to the fact that Ramonda had died by saving her life. So the both of them begin to prepare for the Battle against Talokan. Shuri, together with Riri, thought of a way to dry Namor and take away his strength to be able to have the advantage over them. That's when Riri reminds Shuri that unlike Namor the other warriors of Talokan (including Namora) could not breathe the oxygen just like Namor and they had blue skin, not to mention that they always had to carry their artifacts to be able to breathe and thus be out of the water.
Once the battle between Wakanda and Talokan breaks, Riri begins to help the warriors who were in the ocean. She meets Namora again who tries to destroy her new armor, before Riri pushed it forward. With the shot of the chest of her armor, she flew it back to the ocean. And before the battle continues, when Namor and Shuri arrive, they stop the battle and those of Talokan return home while those of Wakanda and Riri also do it.
Fanon[]
After the premiere of Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, the ship between Namora and Riri Williams became popular. It has many fans on Tumblr, with multiple fanfiction and fanarts. Many fans have wanted Namora to appear in the upcoming Iron Heart series, Riri Williams' starring MCU vehicle.
The actress of Namora, Mabel Cadena, is a lesbian so many hope that that means that in the future movies and series of the MCU will see Namora portrayed as a queer woman as well. Ideally, this would help create the ship between Namora and Riri and make it canon.
There are currently over 20 works for this ship on AO3. It is Namora's most popular romantic ship, and Riri's second most popular romantic ship.
