Moariel

Moariel is the femslash ship between Moana and Ariel from the Disney fandom.

Canon
As Ariel and Moana are from different series, they have never met in canon.

While the Disney crossover film that serves as the Wreck-It Ralph squeal, Ralph Breaks the Internet, has online versions of the two known as "netizens", the inhabitants of the digital made world that lies within the real-life internet. Where they are two of the fourteen Disney Princesses that are from the expo-like Disney website, Oh My Disney. In the film after Moana summons her friend the Ocean from a fountain, Ariel dives into it, in her human, and swims upward to create a spiral with the water, and after she emerges from it and lands on Jasmine's magic carpet, with her and Elsa; Elsa uses her ice magic to freeze the watery spiral into an icy slide.

Ariel and Moana have fathers who are the leaders of their people and who want to keep their daughters safe, as they fear the dangers of the places that lye beyond the safety of their homes' boarders. Even though their girls have dreams that involve going into the outside world beyond their homes and feel drawn to the places that they are never allowed to go near. Being apart of the surface world and explore the world beyond her home. Because of their watery connections to the sea, as it is where Ariel is originally form while Moana feels drawn to the ocean and is friends with it, they are seen as Disney Princesses of the ocean. Since both of their stories have a talking, singing carb in them, while Ariel's is an ally and friend Moana's is a villain. Along Moana wearing a shell necklace that was original her grandmother's so she could keep the Heart of Te Fiti safe on her journey, while Ariel's father gave her baby daughter a magical shell necklace locket as a gift so apart of the sea would always be with her.

Their other common link and trait is that they both get along well with animals, a trait that is shared with many of Disney's iconic princesses, as one of Moana's best friends is a pig named Pua and sticks up for a "odd" chicken that unintentionally accompanies Moana on her journey. While Ariel being a mermaid has an ability of understand the ocean's fish inhabitants and even seagulls, but she can't understand dogs even though she and Max get along famously. Ariel has six older sisters, while Moana had nine brothers in one of the earlier versions of her story. Moana's Disney CGI film is a Disney original, Ariel's animated film is based on the fairy tale, The Little Mermaid.

Fanon
A small group of fans is believed to have started the ship some time before Moana's story was released in theatres, and the popularity of the ship continued to grow after it was released. A few fan artwork and fics of the ship has Moana meeting Ariel through a "watery wall", or has the ocean bringing the two together. Because Ralph Breaks the Internet is a canon Disney crossover, that has a version of the two know each other, the ship sometimes has them in the modern, casual style clothes that the netizen versions of them wear in the film.

On AO3, the ship has over 25 fanfics. As well as it having a reasonable size fanbase on both DeviantArt and Tumblr. A few fan-made work, like artwork and manip, sometimes features both of them as mermaids. A commonly used, fan-given trait in Ariel ships.
