= 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 heard about from her father. Who faced the beast while Elinor spirited Merida to safety. Since then Merida would hear her father constantly talk about that encounter with Mor'du and how he plans to kill the beast to revenge the lost of his leg. Merida showed no pity or thought about Mor'du from believing him to be a dangerous animal, and hasn't let her childhood encounter with the bear stop her from doing into the woods, where she can be herself than a princess. Merida was also familiar with the old story of an ancient lost kingdom, that fell when the oldest prince refused to respect his father's wishes and wanted the throne all to himself. She payed the story no mind from believing it to be a story, despite her mother telling Merida that legends ring with truth. A lesson that Merida finds herself to understand the day after she turned her mother into a bear.

After the wisps led Merida to the ruins of the ancient kingdom she began to put things together from seeing the four thrones and a broken stone carving of the four brothers, with the oldest prince being separated from the others. Much like Merida had done with her mother on the tapestry of their family. Once Merida touched the stone carving she has a vision of her damaging the tapestry before seeing the oldest prince axing the carving, along with the prince's human face turning into the face of a bear. The witch had told Merida about a prince who had also asked for a fate changing spell and using his ring as payment, just as she had given the witch her mother's necklace for the same spell. As soon as Merida realised who and what became of the oldest prince, she comes face to face with Mor'du. Who has turned the ruins of his fallen home into his lair. Merida manged to shoot Mor'du with one of her arrows before she made her escape with her mother.

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 with those who don't want to ship Merida with an animal, and is supported by those who enjoy "Disney Princess x Villain" ships. Mor'du's bear, however, could have people treat it as a friendship. By having Merida tame the beast, some dark AU's do have Merida allying herself with Mor'du. Along with having her repeating his story all the way through, or have her being turned into a bear. Like her OUAT counterpart had done by taking the potion that turned him into a bear.
