Annidan

Annidan is the het ship between Annika and Aidan from the Barbie fandom.

Canon
Aidan and Annika met in the Forbidden Forest after Annika fell into a trap. Annika first asked him to free her and BrIetta, while Aidan taunted her for her decision to go into the forest saying only fools go there. Annika replied that ironically he was there too, but Aidan said that at least he wasn't hanging. Aidan finally released them and the two introduced themselves to each other. Aidan laughed when he found out that Annika and BrIetta are sisters, and when Annika was looking for her bear, Shiver he joked that she would be her cousin. Annika asked Aidan to help her find Shiver, and he said no because the road was very dangerous and the bear was gone forever. Annika got angry at what he told her and decided to jump into the void to look for her.

The two met again after Annika ran away from the ogre Ollie. When Annika explained that she was able to save herself using only her laza, Aidan was surprised, concluding that Annika is stronger and smarter than he thought. When Aidan heard that Annika and Brietta were trying to create the wand of light, Aidan taunted them again that the wand doesn't exist, even after seeing Annika's lasso turn into a scepter with his own eyes. Annika sarcastically asked if she had any other useful comments to say, and Aidan left. After that, Annika kept complaining about how stubborn he was, while Brietta joked that he was at least handsome. However, before he left, Annika took an interest in Aidan's sword. She asked where he made it, and he said that he made it himself and that he worked to create swords. Annika asked him again for help, but he kept refusing and was about to leave. Annika explained that she needed to create the wand to save her parents and told him that she would make it up to him by paying him with gems, and he finally agreed to help her.

Aidan took Annika to Ferris, a jewelry merchant, to look up to the gem that they needed. When Aidan was about to do business with Ferris by giving him his sword so that he would tell them where the gem is in exchange, Annika avoided him by offering her skates. While they were looking for the gem, Aidan managed to decipher a script and Annika asked him where he learned it, and Aidan told her that there was a lot of it in the forbidden forest. When they entered a cave full of gems and Annika had already taken one, she warned Aidan that he had to take a gem out of necessity and not greed. He ignored the warning, but surprisingly the cave didn't collapse, until later Shiver stole some gems.

When Annika said they only had one love ring left now, Aidan offered to make one. Annika wondered why the cave didn't collapse when Aidan stole a gem, and he explained that he had lost all the money his parents gave him gambling and since then he didn't dare approach them and went to the forbidden forest, and stole a gem to make up for it. He also told her that he decided to join her because of her motivation to get the wand for a "second chance" and that he wanted to try something similar by returning the money to his parents. When they finally managed to create the wand of light and turn Brietta into a human, Annaika had to say goodbye to Aidan to free her family and face Wenlock, and thanked him for his help.

Then Aidan suddenly appeared when Brietta had just woken up from a fall and Annika had been buried in the snow by Wenlock, and he helped dig her up. He was very sorry for having left her and carried her unconscious on a pegasus to the Cloud Kingdom. Aidan begged for Annika to wake up in bed, until she woke up and he helped her up. As they headed into the Forbidden Forest to retrieve the wand Wenlock stole, Aidan gave Annika new roller skates. The two skated together on the slide that Annika fell down earlier, and Annika advised her to stand next to him. As they entered Wenlock Castle, Annika went to find the wand while Aidan faced Wenlock's griffin. Aidan fell off a cliff and Annika accidentally dropped the gem from the wand as well, giving up hope until Aidan climbed back up with the gem.

After defeating Wenlock and breaking his spell, Aidan returned to his father and introduced him to Annika, explaining what happened. At the end they are seen dancing together on ice in the cloud kingdom, hinting that they ended up together after the events of the film, though not explicitly.
