Vel/Cinta is the pairing between Vel Sartha and Cinta Kaz in the Andor fandom.

Canon

Vel and Cinta are shown throughout the series to be in a relationship. At the beginning of the Aldhani arc, Arvel Skeen tells Cassian that "[Cinta is] already sharing a blanket if that's what you're wondering."[1]

Before Vel and Cinta split up at the end of the Aldhani arc, they hold hands and wish for each others safety. Their conversation on Ferrix is the moment that 100% confirmed they were in a canon relationship; Cinta tells Vel "I'm a mirror, Vel, you love me because I show you what you need to see."[2]

In the trailer from the 2023 Star Wars Celebration Europe, the two are seen in low light, with Cinta's hand caressing Vel's cheek.

Fandom

Fanfic focuses on the missing moments from canon, as well as First Meeting fics and Mission Fic.

Some fanart focuses on the mirror quote and the turn away from the window quote, working with reflections and how the characters see themselves in each other.

Vel/Cinta is the top wlw ship for Andor. As of December 12, 2023, there are 108 works under their relationship tag on Archive of Our Own.
