Tales of Arcadia/Ships

Krary
Krary is the het ship between Krel Tarron and Mary Wang from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Part One
At first, Mary and Krel were rather indifferent to each other, with Mary only acknowledging him as Aja's brother and not even remembering his name, no matter how many times he corrects her, much to Krel's annoyance.

Part Two
During summer vacation, Aja and Krel invite Mary, Darci, Steve, Toby and Eli to come over to their house. Krel and Mary's relationship seems to have gotten a bit better, though she still messes up his name. Mary helped advertise Krel's new application to get people to play it, at his and Aja's request, and she acted as Captain DJ Kleb's (Krel's character) leading lady in Toby's film. She and Krel seem to have become closer and more friendly, as at one point, she placed a hand on his shoulder and held his hand to comfort him when he was sad about having to leave Earth right as he started to like it.

Moments
A Beetle Invasion When Krel tries to get Mary's attention while she is praising Aja for kicking Steve, she flatly says, "Nice boombox, Kevin" before Krel corrects her. He and Aja then go into a classroom to help Mary eliminate the Skeltegs.

Party Crashers During the bonfire, Krel asks Mary where Aja and Steve are and she tells them that they are probably kissing in a tree.

Dog Fight Days of Summer Krel tries to convince Mary to promote make a new video game go viral (which is really just a simulation for warships to fight Morando's army). Mary is at first refuses because of how dated it looks, but Aja convinces her otherwise, much to Krel's annoyance.

Ill Gotten Gains When Mary and the others realize that Kubritz is trying to hurt the Tarrons, they all stop her and defend them by recording her words on video.

A Glorious Ending, Part 2 Mary starred as Krel's leading lady in "The Adventures of DJ Kleb", where he was shown rescuing her from a spaceship and she hugged him. When Krel and Mary watched the movie together, she put her hand on his shoulder for comfort and they held hands.

Fanon
Krary is the heterosexual pairing between Krel and Mary. After seeing the two hold hands and comforting each other in the final episode, this made fans speculate that they may have developed or are developing romantic feelings for each other. This inspired many fan art and fan fictions showing their relationship develop during and after the series.

Fans seem to be divided on. On one hand, some believed that Krel should not have a love interest, as it would take away from his uniqueness among the franchise's protagonists and couldn't see Mary as his girlfriend, because of how shallow and snooty she is. Others however, have been able to embrace the pairing and wanted Krel and Mary to become a couple. Fans have wanted their relationship for two reasons: It would give Mary more depth beyond being the "shallow popular girl" and it would give Krel a bigger motivation to stay on Earth.

Due to the scene in the final episode where Krel and Mary hold hands, many have speculated that they began to develop romantic feelings for each other sometime during the filming of DJ Kleb, in which Mary appears as Krel's leading lady, which could lead into a bigger reason for Krel wanting to stay on Earth.
