I think that Ging Freecss and Fugetsu Hui Guo Rou would have interesting interactions if they were to meet. Aka, more rambling about Fugetsu just waaaay longer now:
I'm not saying it as a particular theory post, or that I think they're MEANT to meet and form some kind of relationship, just that I believe their personalities and motivations compliment each other, or that they both have something that the other values.
Fugetsu at the moment isn't a super complex character, as of current events it's been revealed that she cares very deeply for her sister, knows very little about nen (she calls it "magic"), but is, at least, a determined character and is willing to learn and take risks in order to survive and protect her sister. She is as normal of a girl as we've had in this series, and I find that very endearing.

I'm sure you must be thinking then that she couldn't be any more different from Ging, who is a learned prodigy and a loner. If they were to interact, I'm sure many would think that he would brush her aside, but actually, I think that Ging often prioritizes a strong heart and a caring personality over innate skill. He does so with Leorio, saying that he possesses a lot of potential, despite how Leorio has seemed to have been lacking in skill to most everyone else in-universe. He also seems to value Leorio's friendship with Gon. Though Ging never seems eager to form lasting relationships himself, he seems to value other people's ability to do so. It's for this reason that I think that Ging would quite like Fugetsu, if he were to meet her.

I also think that Fugetsu would like Ging, or at least envy him. It's only stated once, but it's also represented in her ability that Fugetsu has a strong desire to travel the world, or at least, she values "the ability to go anywhere".

This coincides with Ging, whose desire to go anywhere, do anything, is a very prominent part of his character. With her very limited knowledge of nen, Ging's sheer skill and power would probably shock her, but I also think that it would inspire her. Like I said before, she possesses a strong desire to learn and grow. If she were to meet Ging, I'd say that she'd wish to be as strong as him, so she could also fulfill her own desire for freedom and protect her sister. Though this second desire is of course impossible now, as we all know...
How that may affect her and her desire for freedom is anyone's guess, but I would like to add that Ging and Fugetsu share one more similarity, or at least they share one more thing to gain from each other:
I believe that Ging cared for his son. However his being a father to Gon, traveling with Gon like how he'd done until his son was two, is no longer possible in my opinion. Ging knows this, and continues to travel and explore knowing this.
Fugetsu has lost her sister, her only relative that she feels safe with. She doesn't know this yet, but her dream to go anywhere, anytime, with the person that she loves and cares about the most, she can no longer do.
They both have something in their personalities that the other would value; they both have something that the other would gain from situationally. For example, Fugetsu could escape from the succession battle and travel the world with Ging. Ging could teach someone nen again, something he seemed to enjoy with Kite, but with the added twist that Fugetsu might be the perfect person for Ging to interact with positively.
I'd also like to point out one last thing, and it's that Fugetsu and Gon look INCREDIBLY alike:

This was pointed out by someone on Twitter a long time ago, but the eyes, the nose, shape of the mouth- it is all the same. That could of course be a coincidence, like I said this isn't exactly a theory post, but that, on top of all this other stuff strikes me as very noticeable, at the very least.
