Mara/Light Hope is a minor/background pairing in the She-Ra fandom, but is generally one of the more popular ships for each character.
Canon
Word of God
On August 17, 2020, creator ND Stevenson confirmed in a tweet that Light Hope and Mara were in love in response to a fan question[1].
In a separate panel, Stevenson was asked about Mara and Light Hope in a post-canon context, and responded that they imagined that Mara and Light Hope existed together as holograms in the Crystal Castle, after Adora released the magic of the Heart and healed Etheria (the Twitch video has since been taken down and does not appear to have been saved, however the panel was linked to on Reddit here).
