= Axelsa = 

Axelsa is the het ship between Axel and Elsa from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Canon
Although Elsa does get added to the Kingdom Hearts universe as one of the new Seven Hearts in KHIII, she and Lea haven't crossed paths. With him spending most of the game training to be a Keyblade wielder before re-joining the rest of his allies for the final battle in the Keyblade Graveyard, while Elsa is unaware of the existence of other worlds or her role from the pure light in her heart.

Fanon
This crossover ship started long before Kingdom Hearts III was released, and revealed that Frozen has been added to the ever growing KH universe. That is why Axelsa is considered a KH ship as well as a cross ship. Most of the ship's support comes those who feel drawn to "Fire x Ice" couples. Lea's Axel persona is mostly featured in the ship, even though some have argued that Lea and Axel have been shown to be the same person than two separate people. The Frozen II sequel and Kingdom Hearts IV being confirmed has given some AxElsa fans hope that the KH media might have the two meet in canon. With Elsa being confirmed to be one of the new Seven Hearts and with Lea being one of the Guardians of Light. That is why some of the most resent fanart on the ship has Lea in his casual KH3 clothes and Elsa in one of her Frozen 2 outfits.

= CindyVen = 

CindyVen is the friend ship between Cinderella and Ventus from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
Even though Cinderella has been romantically shipped with Aqua and Terra, the age gap between her and Ven mostly has KH fans pair them up as friends. Some fans of KHBBS found it amusing that Ven had served as the Gus of the game, from how their first meeting mirrors the moment Cinderella first met Gus in the original Disney film. When it comes Ventus and the three of the Princesses of Heart in Birth By Sleep, however, people tend to focus on Snow White, as his Wayfinder is green like her Stained Glass heart has her been seen as his princess. While the blue color of Aqua's luck charm and Cinderella's Stained Glass has her been viewed as Aqua's princess. That is why Aquarella fanworks outnumber the ones on CindyVen.

= Clock Tower Trio = 

Clock Tower Trio is the poly ship between Lea/Axel, Roxas and Xion from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
With Roxas as Sora's Nobody and Xion being born from Sora's memories of Kairi, it has Axel be viewed as the Riku of this Nobody trio.

= Clora = 

Clora is the slash ship between Cloud Strife and Sora from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
Clora is one of the rarer KH ships, between an original KH character and one of the series' first Final Fantasy cameo characters. Most of the "KH x Cameo character" ships that Sora has been apart of mostly have him being shipped with a Disney character than a FF one. Even though people prefer to ship Kingdom Hearts characters with each other than with any of the cameo characters, that the KH ones find themselves befriending.

Although the slash ship mostly focuses on Cloud's KH counterpart, as that is the version of him that meets Sora in canon, there have been those who have Sora cross paths with Cloud's Final Fantasy self. After Sora got added to the Super Smash Bros. series, and with Cloud being part of it for a few years before him, it got fans of the two Square Enix owned characters to make references to it. By focusing on their SSB counterparts.

Those who think that Cloud is much older than Sora, however, prefer to ship them as friends. Along with depicting Cloud as an older brother figure to Sora. Both Sora and Cloud having spikey style hair had even got a few people to portray Cloud as Sora's father, since Aerith's brown hair and the popularity of Clerith helps that group to place Aerith as Sora's mother; for when CloTi or CLeon arsn't used to have Tifa or Leon as the mother/partner. While Roxas having blond spikey hair like Cloud has him serve as Sora's brother and Cloud's other son of this KH/FF family.

= Destiny Trio = 

Destiny Trio is the poly ship between Sora, Riku and Kairi from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
The Destiny Trio is the very first KH trio that is seen as the predecessors of Clock Tower Trio and Wayfinder Trio. With the other two trios having similar energies to the first one. That is why KH fans like to feature the three groups together.

= Princesses of Heart = 

Princesses of Heart is the friend ship between Kairi, Alice, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Canon
The Princesses of Heart are seven maidens who's hearts are free of darkness so they can hold pure light. This has them made them targets for those who seek to open the Final Keyhole to Kingdom Hearts, that holds both light and darkness. Should the door to Kingdom Hearts be opened for it's darkness, the pure light within the princesses' hearts are able to keep the darkness at bay. Until a Keyblade Wielder is able to seal it away again. The pure light maidens reside on separate worlds and are mostly princesses, hence the nature of their title. Even though being a princess isn't a requirement and the pure light can reside in an none princess's heart.

Aurora was the first of the princesses to be targeted, with her and Maleficent residing on the same world, before the evil fairy began to search for the others. When her plan to steal Aurora's heart failed. Leading Aurora to be kidnapped and taken away from her home. Snow White, Cinderella and Belle followed soon after, before the Disney Villains found the other three. Who turned out to be Jasmine, Alice and Kairi. Six of the princesses were placed in a sleeping like state, as they searched for Kairi's missing heart. Allowing Ansem, Seeker of Darkness to steal six of the princesses' hearts in order to forge them into a Keyblade to unlock Kingdom Hearts. Sora using it to return Kairi's had also allowed the other stolen hearts to return back to their bodies. Waking all seven maidens up.

Kairi ended up leaving Hollow Bastian with her friends, while the other six took it upon themselves to stem the darkness with the pure light inside them. Refusing to return back to their home worlds, until Kingdom Hearts was sealed once more. This allowed Alice, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White to get to know one another as they waited. Belle was given a chance to return home when Beast came to save her, but she refused to abandon her post and to leave the other princesses to face the darkness on their own. Once the door to Kingdom Hearts was closed and the worlds that were swallowed by the darkness were restored, four of them being the home worlds of Aurora, Cinderella, Snow White and Kairi, all seven maidens were send home. Because their hearts were used to open the Final Keyhole and then stemmed the tide of darkness with their light, Alice, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White had served their assigned role and the pure light in their hearts get passed onto six new maidens. Kairi, however, got to remain a princess of heart. As her heart wasn't used like the other princesses' hearts were.

Fanon
One of the things that people love about KH's Princesses of Heart, is the fact that they are a canon group of Disney Princesses. Six of them being classic Disney's princesses, part from Alice who isn't an official princess, while Kairi is an original princess of the Kingdom Hearts series and that has her stand out among the other princesses. It is also one of the reasons why some like to view Kairi as the leader of the group, as well as an honorary Disney Princess; since the KH series is a collaboration of Disney and Square Enix. That is why Kairi can be found in some Disney Princess fanworks from within and outside the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Even though some were sad when Kingdom Hearts III revealed that Alice, Jasmine, Belle, Aurora, Cinderella and Snow White completing their roles in the first game meant they are no longer Princesses of Heart, while Kairi gets to remain one, they are curious about the new Seven Hearts and who they might be. With Rapunzel, Elsa and Anna revealed to be three of them, while the identities of the other three princesses are currently a mystery. Because the previous six were classic Disney Princesses of the renaissance era, while three of the revealed Seven Hearts are of Disney's modern era films, it has some KH fans to theorize that the other three might be of that era as well. Although some are hoping that the other three would turn out to be other classic animated princesses, like Pocahontas, Kida and even Tiana (who was the last animated Disney Princess).

= RiElsa = 

RiElsa is the het ship between Riku and Elsa from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
Much like Axelsa, the ship between Riku x Elsa began long before Frozen was added to the Kingdom Hearts universe, through KHIII. That is why RiElsa is somewhere between a KH ship and a crossover ship. The only other female Disney character that Riku has been shipped with so far was Maleficent, but the age gap between them has people ship them as friends. That is what makes RiElsa unique among Riku's other het ships, since his friend Sora is mostly the one to be shipped with the Disney characters that have appeared in the franchise.

Those who wanted Riku to visit the KH world of Frozen, have centred around the same common idea that is mostly based on Dream Drop Distance. By having Riku be part of Elsa's story after she ran away from Arendelle, while Sora joins Anna in her journey to find Elsa. Seeing Elsa cut herself off from those she wants to protect and the darkness coming from her fear, Riku saw himself in her and wants to ensure that Elsa doesn't make the same mistakes he had made. Along with wanting to ensure that she doesn't fall into the darkness, like his enemies would want her to. To help calm Elsa's fears, Riku shares his story with her and even tries to help Elsa control her powers so she won't fall to the darkness from her fear. Even though this didn't happen in the official KH3 game, some fans had liked the way that Sora had paralleled Elsa with Riku.

Rikucent is the friend ship between Riku and Maleficent from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Quotes
"Silly Boy. You're like a son to me. I only want you to be happy."

- Maleficent to Riku; Kingdom Hearts

Fanon
The large age gap between Riku and Maleficent is the main reason people would rather ship them as friends than lovers. Maleficent telling Riku that saw him as a son in order to keep him loyal to her, however, had inspired another group to ship them as mother and son.

= SoDonGoof = 

SoDonGoof is the friendship between Sora, Donald Duck and Goofy from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
SoDonGoof is one of the beloved friendships of the Kingdom Hearts series, with the three being the main playable characters that players of the games have followed ever since the franchise first stared. It also helps that Donald and Goofy are part of Disney's Sensational Six and its Disney Trio, while Sora is an original KH character that the two befriend.

With the two being older than Sora, some like to think of Donald and Goofy as Sora's father, uncle or older brother figures. That is why some AUs that are of a similar nature to the Lion King have the three as Simba, Timon and Pumbaa-like characters. Goofy being a father and Disney medias like the DuckTales reboot having Donald as the guardian of his nephews, helps to support this idea.

= SoJim = 

SoJim is the slash ship between Sora and Jim Hawkins from the Kingdom Hearts and Treasure Planet fandoms.

Fanon
Jim Hawkins is one of the many Disney characters that KH fans would like Sora to meet someday. That is why Treasure Planet can be found in some people's wish lists and fanworks of Disney films they would like to see as a Kingdom Hearts world. As well as wondering what it would be like to have Sora and Jim fight along side one another as party members, or at least have Jim as one of the Disney characters that Sora is able to summon into battle.

Sorabel is the het ship between Sora and Mirabel Madrigal from the Kingdom Hearts and Encanto fandoms.

Fanon
Like with Sorapunzel, before KHIII got Tangled to be added to the Kingdom Hearts universe, the popularity of Mirabel and her Disney film had got a few KH fans to feature her with Sora. One group has Sora and Mirabel as friends, while the second group have them becoming lovers. Since Sora has been shipped with some of the Disney characters he has encountered or simply want him to meet in future games. Tangled, Frozen and Big Hero 6 being part of the KH3 plot has given some KH fans hope that Encanto may appear in one of the next KH games, with KHIV being confirmed.

= TerRiku = <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%">

TerRiku is the slash ship between Terra and Riku from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
With Riku first meeting Terra as a kid, it got people to ship them as friends or family. From when they have the two form the similar kind of bond that Terra once shared with Eraqus, by having Terra serve as Riku's master. After KHIII was released, some people got a little comfortable with the idea of slash shipping them; since Riku is much more older now and the fact that Terra hadn't aged.

= Tyaqua = <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%">

Tyaqua is the het ship between Aqua and Tylor Tuskmon from the Kingdom Hearts and Monsters, Inc. fandoms.

Canon
Since the two characters are from different medias, they have never met on canon. Even though there is a KH version of the Monsters, Inc. universe, Tylor wasn't shown to be part of it.

Fanon
Although the Monsters, Inc universe was added as one of the many worlds within the Kingdom Hearts universe, Tyaqua is still viewed as a crossover ship. With Tylor being part of the Monsters at Work TV series than the Pixar film that began the franchise, and was referenced in KHIII. With there being very little Tylor related pairings, it gave fans of the Monsters at Work protagonist to create ships to feature him in.

The ship was introduced by user thaliasonata, whom she also created Sullieta on DeviantArt, some people supporting this ship mostly on DeviantArt. The creator has even made a fankid between the couple, turning her into thaliasonata's favorite OC.

= Wayfinder Trio = <div class="mw-collapsible mw-collapsed" data-expandtext="show" data-collapsetext="hide" style="width:100%">

Wayfinder Trio is the poly ship between Aqua, Ventus and Terra from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
Some like to think of the Wayfinder Trio as the prequel version of the Destiny Trio. With each member of the three Birth By Sleep friends having a similar energy to Sora, Riku and Kairi, than just the nature of their names and the fact that Van, Terra and Aqua met the first KH trio when they were little. As well as them being the reason they too became Keyblade wielders.

With Ven being much younger than Terra and Aqua, it has has the two be viewed as either his older siblings or parent-like figures. This later view is supposed by those who are Terraqua shippers, so they could feature Ven as Aqua x Terra's "son" or ward. With their master gone it made sense to have the two older members of the trio as Ventus's guardians.

Trivia

 * The ship's title comes from the Wayfinder good luck charms Aqua made for herself and her two friends. Serving the symbols of their friendship.
