Many characters in Genshin Impact share relationships that can easily be mistaken for romances.
At the same time, it’s worth noting that although some of the character relationships in Genshin Impact could develop into true romances, the game’s creator HoYoverse is not likely to ever let that happen.
Many of the Traveler’s allies in the Teyvatan world are not only acquainted with one another but also maintain a close friendship.
The true nature of these bonds can be speculated upon, though their relationships aren’t explicitly described.
That being said, here are some couples that would make shipping fans very happy if they were canon.
- Xinqgiu and Chongyun
These two 4-star Liyue characters have a close friendship to the point that they go out of their way to look out for one another every day.
The characters interact frequently and have hinted that they might be more than just friends.
They are so joined at the hip that it’s unusual to see one without the other.
Given their unadulterated love for one another, they could have a lovely coming of age romance.
- Beidou and Ningguang
Beidou and Ningguang are the characters that look the most like a real couple based on their interactions and character traits.
Since Beidou’s acts contravene the Liyue Qixing’s norms, they were first presented as diametrically opposed and bordering on adversaries.
Their ongoing arguments, nevertheless, appear to be a better indicator of how close they really are.
- Arataki Itto and Kujou Sara
These characters are somewhat antagonistic, which is why the trope of enemies-to-lovers would work incredibly well with them.
Even though these are not the ideal characteristics for a romantic relationship, they may be what cause their feelings for one another to develop. Itto respects Kujou Sara because he is aware that she is a tengu.
On the other hand, she could feel comfortable with him because he does not care that she has been an outcast.
More than that, Kujou Sara exhibits a responsible attitude that may also have a very positive influence on his general behavior.
Why There Won’t Be Much of These Ships in Genshin Impact
At the end of the day, it’s quite unlikely that gamers will ever see a Genshin Impact couple comprised of either playable characters or important NPCs.
First of all, having characters fall in love may not be good for the lore. In terms of the plot, this might reduce an intriguing character to a streamlined element of a relationship rather than a fully realized individual.
The notion of the main character, the Traveler, being able to romance all those they come into contact with is also intriguing to the game’s fans.
