Douxaire

Douxaire is the het ship between Douxie Casperan and Claire Nuñez from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Trollhunters
Some time after Claire became ill with a cold due to her over using the Shadow Staff's power to save the surviving Trolls, she refused to let it stop her from attending school. Where her friend Mary Wong informs Claire of the cute guy who was original from their rival school, before taking Claire to him. Claire had dropped her books and as she kneels down to pick them up, Douxie had walked up to Claire so he could give her a hand. Douxie's handsome, punk-emo style causes Claire to blush as she smiles at him. Seeing Douxie being interested in Claire gets the other girls to leave. Douxie had heard that Mary calls Claire "C-Bomb" before he greets Claire by her nickname, along with him telling Claire that he is blown away by her. Claire recognizes Douxie from the band that had opened up one of Papa Skull's consorts, before telling him that she thought of his band from that time, Claire then coughed and Douxie makes a friendly concerned joke about his band not being the only thing that is sick. Douxie then hands Claire a flyer for Battle of the Band since his band are encouraging others to take part in it. Jim didn't like the way to two were acting with one another and tries to get Claire away from him. Claire on the other hand decides to take Jim's earlier advice about balancing her by entering the Battle of the Band with Darci and Mary, as Mama Skull. Before the two part ways Douxie calls Claire a fair lady as he tell her that he looks forward to see her again.

When Claire went on a double date with Jim, Toby and Darci, the restaurant they went to ends up being the one were Douxie works at, as a waiter. As Douxie takes their orders, he and Claire have a quick chat about about of Battle of the Bands and how Mama Skull is coming along, Jim's jealousy however has him trying to end it by getting everyone to order steaks. Then though Claire is feeling a bit better from her "cold", she felt a bit ill and when Douxie asked Claire how she would like her steak she replies with "raw dripping with blood" in a echoed, overshadowed voice that wasn't hers(Morgana). After Douxie left, Claire heads to the bathroom so she could clear her mind in order to figure things out. Claire odd behaviour towards Douxie was due to a wicked sorceress named Morgana, as she works her way into Claire's body. Before Douxie returns with their order, Claire was already possessed by Morgana who acts cruel towards him as "Claire" demands Douxie to leave. Even though Douxie wanted to simply talk with Claire again, he kindly apologizes before leaving their table.

Despite the way Morgana forced Claire to act towards Douxie that night, it didn't stop him from giving Claire support at Battle of the Bands. When it was time for Mama Skull to perform, Douxie gives Claire a cheer whistle from the crowed before adding it with two big thumbs up at her when she noticed him. Claire smiles at Douxie before making her announcement of what is about to happen. Along with hinting the Trolls' existence in their town. Despite the fact that both Claire and Douxie took on Gummar's army during the Eternal Night their paths didn't cross, even though Douxie had saved Claire's friends from a Gumm-Gumm before she takes Mary and Darci to the safety of their school. While Douxie was no where to be seen after that.

Who Merlin calls upon for assistance to bring the rest of the Guardians of Arcadia to the flying castle of Camelot, where Claire is waiting for them. Douxie learns about the ordeal she went through before their reunion when she shows him Jim in a crystal stasis chamber, to prevent a onyx shard from making the rest of its way into Jim’s heart. In order to keep themselves safe from Claire's mysterious attacker Merlin plans to take them back in time, but before they could the Arcane Orders attacks them and only Douxie, Claire, Steve and Jim were sent to the past where they become trapped.

Along with Claire using a shard of her new found shadow magic to save her friend, while everyone else thinks that is was Morgana. Before Claire could do anything that would get her in trouble with Arthur, Douxie gets her to be patient until they find away to save Jim and get them all back to their home timeline. To explain why she and Steve are with him, Douxie tells Arthur that they are new recruits for their upcoming war with Gummar, along with getting her and Steve jobs at the castle until he can find away to get them back to the future.

Even though Douxie's connections gives them an advantage, Claire still wasn't happy with the fact that she is trapped in the past and wants to go home as soon as possible. Douxie promises her and Steve that they will, as along as they don't do anything to disrupt their home timeline by making dangerous alterations in the past. Meaning that they'll have play their new given roles until then. While Douxie goes to get his master's Time Map, that will allow them to safely find their way back to the present without causing any damage to the past.

Douxie agrees to help Claire save Jim and the other trolls, as long as they remain inconspicuous. Seeing Claire's determination to do the right thing has Douxie tossing the rules aside, for the sake of other. With both Douxie and Claire using their magic powers, they were able to free the trolls and get them out of the kingdom with Jim. Once they got away Douxie becomes aware of Claire's shadow magic, find he finds her collapsed from over using it.

Hours later Douxie tells Claire that their actions have changed upcoming events in history and it will destroy the future if they don't do anything to fix it. Luckily the Time Map does show them a possible future that will bring peace to Camelot, as long as Douxie and Claire do what they can to ensure that it happens. By having Arthur make peace with Morgana and the Trolls. The two were close to succeeding until Morgana had enough of Arthur's cruelty towards beings of magic and attacks them. Both Douxie and Claire felt terrible for failing their task and endangering the future, unless they set events that will fix their mistakes; while doing what they can to prevent them from making anymore. Claire had also became frightened by her shadow magic and how it might turn her into the next Morgana. When the two need to go see the Lady of the Lake, but couldn't get through the sealed door, Douxie Claire asks Claire to use her powers before promising her that she isn't Morgana and won't become her. Claire agrees to give her magic a try, if Douxie serves as her teacher. Even though Douxie saw himself as a bad student under Merlin, he does what he can to be a good teacher for Claire. During their lesson Douxie tells her to not be scared of the shadows or to let it consume her by letting her fears of it go.

Fanon

Once fans fell in love with the friendship Claire forms with Douxie during the third Tales of Arcadia story. Some fans ship Douxaire beside Ajim, when they aren't rivalling it with Jlaire or Jimxie.

Before it was confirmed, fans had suspected that Douxie is a wizard and his appearance in Trollhunters hints that he'll be in Wizards. Along with fans theorising that Claire would end up learning how to become a sorceress in the said show, from the way she used the shadow staff. While Douxie helps Claire with her training.
