Look. I have a type. And it's not Y'shtola, or Merlwyb or any of the other more prominent ladies.

I did, but then they killed Ysayle.

The entire pool of prominent, still-living eligible women for the WoL is basically Fordola, Merlwyb, Lyse or Y'shtola. Y'shtola is only vaguely interested at best (although her sister would approve), and Merlwyb and Lyse have some big-deal poo poo going on that probably can't mentally accommodate someone like the WoL.

With Fordola, all you have to handle is crushing Arenvald's dreams.

Look, with Fordola our competition is Arenvald, who doesn't strike me as a very dangerous sort if he's wronged. With Yugiri our competition is Hien, a national leader and war hero who's willing to administer his own state-sanctioned executions (or at least willing to consider it).

I'm not risking getting in his way until we know for sure he's not interested in her.

I suppose the relative power and privilege of the nearest adjacent male figure is a factor that could be considered

Fordola isn't going to die because there were a couple lines that seemed to set up her coming to the ruins of Garlemald and seeing the ashes of the empire she devoted her life to. Additionally, Yoshida said that a character who would be prominent in 6.0 would be appearing in 5.5 in a way that implied either a new character or one coming back into the story, and Forodola is the most prominent reappearance in the patch so far.

In a twist no one saw coming it's Lunar Ifrit. His redemption arc will become the thing the game is known for.

Also, I doubt Hien is much competition for Yugiri. His duty is to Doma first and foremost, so if anything he's more likely to enter into some sort of political arrangement marriage. Lyse to strengthen Doma's ties to the Eorzean Alliance, or maybe to the Mol Tribe lady with the pink hair whose name I can't remember.

Assuming it's socially acceptable for Hien to marry an Au Ra at all, Cirina seems to be a likely candidate, although it would be a really weird marriage. Kurenai would probably be less of a lift. Lyse actually would make a fair amount of sense in political and economic terms, and there is at least some kind of a relationship going on there -- marriages have been founded on less than "wow, I admire this guy and he's making me think."

Hien x Yugiri is most likely not happening because it's probably not a good idea for a lord to marry his retainer, especially if she's a ninja assassin.

There's almost no interaction between Sui-no-Sato and the rest of the Doma plot (heck, the bulk of YOUR interactions with Kurenai are in the side-quests/custom deliveries), particularly when it comes to Hien, so that definitely seems like it would be a pairing out of nowhere.

Just watch Hien marry Fran or someone else from that raid arc as a diplomatic marriage with one of Doma's neighbors.

(they're not going to because SE knows that some people are really into shipping Hien with the WoL, same with half the cast)

She's thoughtful and poetic when you catch her off-duty, her little monologue in Stormblood where she reminisces about growing up underwater and how she'll always belong to the sea resonated hard with me, as someone who grew up on the coast in a very maritime-oriented area, and with my concept of my WoL as someone who grew up in Limsa Lominsa.
