Kingdom Hearts/Ships

= AquMick = 

AquMick is the friend ship between Aqua and Mickey Mouse from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Canon
Aqua first met Mickey she was saving a little from the Unversed that were chasing her in Radiant Garden. Just as the Unversed were about to charge at them, Mickey arrives just in time to protect the two. The sight of Mickey's Keyblade surprised Aqua, from how rare Keyblade Wielders are and the existence of other worlds are a secret. Once Aqua got the girl to safety, she re-joins Mickey as they fight the Unversed together. After the Unversed were defeated, Aqua and Mickey introduce themselves to each other as fellow users of the Keyblade, by bringing up the masters they trained under. Seeing how well they worked together Mickey thought that they should join forces, but the charm he uses to travel between worlds had other ideas. As it sends Mickey off before he and Aqua could shake hands.

= 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. As for Elsa, she is unaware of the existence of other worlds or her role from the pure light in her heart.

Fanon
This ship originally started out as a crossover ship. From how Axelsa was created 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 Kingdom Hearts ship, as well as a cross ship. The same with RiElsa, as it too was a cross ship before KHIII turned it into a KH ship. Despite the fact that Elsa hadn't met Lea, or Riku.

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.

Fandom
= 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.

In a few AUs that the three friends have been featured in together, some people have portrayed them as siblings. As well as paralleled them with other known trios.

Fanon
People feel that Joshua and Riku have a similar energy to one another.

= Masterdad = 

Masterdad is the family ship between Terra and Eraqus from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
Masterdad is Terra and Eraqus' main focused familyship within Birth By Sleep. Once people saw that their relationship wasn't limited to teacher and student, but also one of father and son. It has been indicated that Terra had known Eraqus since he was a child, and Eraqus watching Terra grow into the man he is would have him grow fund of his student.

With one of the KH creators being a Star Wars fan and Birth By Sleep having a Revenge of the Sith-like theme, some have compared their master and student bond to the one that is shared between Jedi and their Padawan. Due to the way Eraqus tried to keep Terra in the light and away from the darkness. There is also the fact that Padawans tend to view their assigned/bonded master as a parent-like figure.

= RiElsa = 

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

Canon
Although Elsa is one of the newer cameos to the Kingdom Hearts series, through Kingdom Hearts III as one of the new Seven Hearts, and Riku has had encounters with a few Disney characters, he and Elsa haven't met. With Riku spending most of the game searching for Aqua with Mickey, while Elsa remains on her home world being unaware of other worlds or the role she and Anna share through the pure light in their hearts. Sora, however, did parallel Riku with Elsa when he noticed that her reasons for running away and seeing her own powers as a danger to others wasn't soo different to what Riku had gone through.

Riku and Elsa are described to be strong and fearless, as well as them being calm, cool and collective side characters. Who care very deeply for their friends and family, although Riku and Sora aren't related like Elsa and Anna are, the two do share strong brother-like bond. As like Anna who helped Elsa regain control of her ice powers through love, it was the friendship that Sora shares with Riku that helps Riku to no longer fear his darkness powers.

Fanon
Much like Axelsa, the ship between Riku x Elsa began long before Frozen was officially 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 the layout of 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, that was emanating 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. Showing that they do have a few things in common with one another.

= RiMick = 

RiMick is the friend ship between Riku and Mickey Mouse from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Canon
Riku meets Mickey when the two find themselves into the door to Kingdom Hearts, and chose to seal themselves in it to keep the darkness from escaping. Even if it means trapping themselves in the Realm of Darkness, with no way of knowing how to return to the Realm of Light.

Knowing that Riku is struggling with his inner darkness, a man named DiZ approaches Mickey with the offer to help Riku with it. In order of this to happen, however, Mickey must be separated from Riku. At least for the first part of Riku's journey in the basement of Castle Oblivion, as he faces his past and the darkness still inside of him, before the two could regroup with one another. Although Mickey wasn't able to fully phase back into the Realm of Light, he still helps Riku battle his inner darkness by serving as Riku's inner light through the form of a orb of light. Allowing Mickey to aid Riku as heal cards during battles. Knowing that Mickey was with him had also Riku a sense of comfort, as he continues his way around the castle. With help from the mysterious DiZ, Mickey is able to leave the Realm of Darkness and catch up to Riku in the castle. Arriving just in time to save Riku when Ansem tries to take control of Riku's body again. Riku was happy to see Mickey in person and to know that he was no longer trapped in the Realm of Darkness.

When is was finally time for Riku to face Ansem and was worried that he would try to control him again in the future, as tries to ask Mickey to destroy if it ever came to that. Mickey, however, didn't let Riku purpose this request to him, as he is determined to save Riku. Giving Riku hope as Mickey insists of coming to Riku's rescue, should Ansem ever mange to break free after their battle. Now as friends Mickey offers to join Riku on his journey on the road to dawn. Mickey also asks Riku to call him "Mickey" than "his majesty." To help them stay off Organization XIII's radar, DiZ gives the two the same black coats that they wear.

Fanon
Some like to think of Mickey as Riku's Donald and Goofy, with the bond they have formed and the fact that Riku is an original KH character, while Mickey is part of Disney's Sensational Six. RiMick fans love the moments that were shown between them in Chain of Memories and Kingdom Hearts 3, as they were what helped the friendship to gain a decent amount of supporters.

Mickey being much older than Riku and with little known about Riku's family, some like to present Mickey as a father-like figure to Riku. Some fanfics even have Mickey offering to adopt Riku. There have even been a rare few who have slash shipped them, for fun. The later idea isn't very common and has been frowned upon, due to the height difference and the fact that they are separate species.

= Rikucent = 

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.

 * FAN FICTION

= 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 many 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. Like he did with Peter Pan and Tinker Bell, Ariel and Wreck-It Ralph.

People had started to feature Sora and Jim as friends in their fanart of them, before they came up with the idea to slash ship them. Since Sora has befriended and fought against pirates before, they feel that he and Jim would get along quite well.

When people had found an unfinished model of a Dream Drop Distance world of what appeared to be a ship, that was filed under TP, it appeared that Sora came close to meeting Jim in canon. Even though it didn't make it into the final KH DDD game, it did give fans who have been crying out for Treasure Planet to join Kingdom Hearts hope. Woody and Buzz were originally set to appear as summons in KHII, before the world of Toy Story was added to the series through KHIII, so the chances of Treasure Planet becoming a KH world does seem possible. Along with the fact that the creators of the series do pay attention to their fans on social media.

= Soralice = 

Soralice is the het ship between Sora and Alice from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Fanon
With Alice disappearing after the Alice in Wonderland arc ended in the games, and those who view Burton Alice as the older version of 1951 Alice, it got KH fans to wonder if Sora would ever meet "older" Alice. Even though Wonderland wasn't everyone's favourite Kingdom Hearts world and Underland being very different to Disney's 1951 take on Wonderland, people would still like Sora to see Alice again.

= Sorabel = 

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 and the theories that Mirabel might be one of the new Seven Hearts, just as Alice was the none-princess member of the original Princesses of Heart.

Twilight Town Gang is the friend ship between Roxas, Hayner, Pence and Olette from the Kingdom Hearts fandom.

Canon
During Roxas's trips to Twilight Town he spies a small group of friends that he felt drawn to, after having a few runs in with them. With his memories of Xion gone after she faded away, they left like the only people close to his age that he has connected with. Since he had spent most of his time being surrounded by adults and those who are much older than him.

Fanon
The Twilight Town Gang is seen as the expanded version of the Twilight Trio. With KHII having Roxas being part of this group in the virtual world DiZ trapped him in, KH fans were pleased that KHIII made him an official member of the group.

= 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.

Canon
Terra, Aqua, and Ventus are all training to become Keyblade Masters.

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, some fans view the two as either his older siblings or parent-like figures. This latter 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 makes 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.
