Kirin = Earth and fire. Earth because they share a connection to nature. Fire because of their Nirik sides.  
Hippogriff = Water and air. Water because of their seapony forms. Air because of their flight in hippogriff form.

I totally ship it
 
A while back I posted a poll with all my possible ship ideas I had for Skystar, but I was always hoping Autumn Blaze would win; And behold, everyone thought so too! (Either Blaze or Blueblood, surprisingly. I still kinda think Skystar would be a cute match to Blueblood too… Maybe I have a new OT3??? xD)
 
Anyways, yes, this ship is canon in the Pandaverse, and I will be making a babu for them soon <333
 
My elemental ship babehs are the cutest~!
