Brave/Ships

= Jarida =  Jarida is the het ship between Merida and Jack from the Brave and Rise of the Guardians fandoms. AKA: Merijack, Frostfire

Canon
Merida and Jack never meet due to Jack being a DreamWorks character, while Merida is a Pixar character.

Both Merida and Jack have a strong bond with their younger siblings, respectively. Both are adventurous and not afraid to fight. Both have blue colored eyes, before he became Jack Frost. They commonly carry their iconic weapons with them.

Fanon
The crossover pairing is one of the het ships of the  fandom and a few of its sup-fandoms, where the two are members of the Big 4. The two are sometimes shipped as the two are the only ones out of the Big 4 who are single at the end of their movies. Like Hiccunzel the pairing is less popular than Jackunzel and Mericcup. On AO3, the pairing is the third most popular ship for Merida. Within the crossover fandom, the pairing is popular with those who are content with leaving Eugunzel and Hiccstrid alone.

In fanon, the two are often portrayed as clashing as both are strongly opinionated. The two are compared to fire and ice, being competitive and clashing yet drawn together. Even when not portrayed as a romantic ship, Jack and Merida are often portrayed as close friends with some competition between the two.

As a pairing consisting of two members of the Big 4, Jarida appears in many AU scenarios. One AU is the Titanic AU, where Jack is cast as Jack Dawson and Merida as Rose. The Nightmare Before Christmas AU sometimes involves Jack and Merida as Jack Skellington and Sally, respectively. In a Seasons AU the two are often portrayed as summer and winter, the two opposite seasons. Before season two of the Miraculous Ladybug series was released, some fans had Merida and Jack as the holders of the Fox and Peacock Miraculouses in a ML AU. The two have also been cast in a Aladdin and Peter Pan AU, since many see Jack giving Merida a chance to fly in the air with him so he can help her feel free from her controlling life, in which commonly casts Jack and Merida as Aladdin and Jasmine and Peter Pan and Wendy Darling.

Due to the modern setting in Rise of the Guardians compared to Brave, Merida is sometimes portrayed with the more modern looking clothes that her Netizen version wears in Ralph Breaks the Internet. Alternatively, their interactions happen in DunBroch, as early concept art shows the location with snow. Due to this, some fan fiction writers include Jack frequently visiting DunBroch due to its harsh winters and meeting Merida.

= Meri'du =  Meri'du is the het between Merida and Mor'du.

Canon
When Merida was little she and her mother were nearly attacked by the demon bear she had about from her father. Who faced the beast while Elinor spirited Merida to safety.

Fanon
After people began to parallel Merida's selfish actions to the ones of the demon bear when he was still human, they realised that the two weren't so different to one another. Along with how Merida came close to repeating his story, before realising her mistakes and fought to fix them, it inspired a small group to ship Merida with human Mor'du. To make the idea less weird, and is supported by those who enjoy "Disney Princess x Villain" ships.

Some dark AU's of Merida have her allying herself with Mor'du. Along with having her repeating his story all the way through.

Trivia

 * In Once Upon A Time Merida allows herself to be turned into a bear. Having her serve as the Mor'du of the series, until she the affects of the Mor'du portion was undone.

= Meriwall =  Meriwall is the het between Merida and Wee Dingwall.

Fanon

Fandom
= Ralida =  Ralida is the het ship between Wreck-It Ralph and Merida from the Wreck-It Ralph and Brave fandoms.

Canon
As Ralph and Merida are from different series, they have never met in canon. Even though a few Disney crossover video games could have them cross paths with each other or get them added to the same team, by player choice.

Both Ralph and Merida are shown to have fiery tempers. Whenever their tempers get the better of them they break things. Much like how Merida longs for a life free of her responsibility as a Princess, Ralph is tired of being treated like a "bad guy" and no longer wishes to be seen as one.

Ralph Breaks the Internet
Merida and the other Princesses work together to save Ralph's life. She uses her bow and arrow to send the weaved strands of Rapunzel's hair, along with Jaq and Gus to Anna and Cinderella, in order to create a dress-made parachute to catch and deliver Ralph to safety.

Fanon
Both Merida and Ralph have been shipped by a small group of fans who believe that a few of their similar traits could have them get along with each other. As good friends or lovers, since the Pixar film, Brave, has shown that Merida is interested in strong, buff men. There have even been fans who have included Ralph, along with Vanellope, within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragon fandom, as guest or secondary/honorary members. It might be one of the less popular ships in the Disney fandom, but it still has a loyal following among het shipper fans of their two Disney films.

As two Disney CGI characters that have been featured in both the Big 4 and Disney/Non-Disney crossover fandoms, the two are often featured in AUs. Like the Marvel AU's of its cinematic universe, where both Ralph and Merida are commonly portrayed as the Hulk and Black Widow.
