Staja

Staja is the het ship between Steve Palchuk and Aja Tarron from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Part 1
At first Steve and Aja didn't pay much attention to one another, due to Aja's lack of human behaviour making her look weird to Steve and the rest of their classmates, along with the young princess and her brother keeping to themselves through their first few days on Earth. This had Aja viewing Steve a lumbering loaf with blond hair, who is friends with the odd boy who is curious about the Tarrons.

After the Mothership informed Aja of Eli's presents at the "house" and were worried of what he might know about them, Krel built a mind reading device to help them learn what Steve's young friend knows. Before Aja gets Steve's attention away from Eli at the Observatory, he was able to inform Steve of her and the rest of their house hold being aliens, Steve on the other hand thought that Eli was talking about illegal aliens and that the alien forms Eli saw them in was simply cosplay. Since Krel threw Eli off the sent Steve didn't think much about his friend's alien clam. When Aja was distracting Steve she had him think that she needed help from someone with golden hair to place a moon rock back on its pillar stand, and Steve thinking of himself as a "lady's man" has him being happy to oblige, but Steve struggled to lift the rock while Aja's Akiridion strength has her holding it up with easy. The Tarron's time in the building also informed the siblings of another alien being on Earth, and go to seek the said alien hears later. Because Steve's helmet blocked his thoughts from Krel's device, Aja assumed that the Palchuk was the alien and his dump actions were simply an act to throe everyone off. Fearing that Steve mighty be a bounty hunter sent by General Morando, Aja and Krel confront him but once Krel knocks Steve's helmet off Aja realized that she had made a mistake. Aja informs Krel of this but it didn't stop Steve from hitting him, to get back at Steve for hurting her little brother Aja kicks him in the face. Instead of being embraced of being beaten up by a girl, Steve began to develop a crush on Aja as he views her as in Ninja kicking Angel. Because Aja didn't know what a ninja or angel is and needed to go after her true target, she didn't think much about Steve's thoughts on her.

When Steve saw Krel at school the next day he asks him if his sister is seeing anyone, but because Krel didn't truly understand what Steve meant by it he doesn't inform Aja of Steve's question about her. Aja's smackdown with Steve had also made her the new popular at school when Mary uploaded the video of it online. Due to the that stowaway on the Mothership before finding their way into the school, both Steve and Aja stayed behind to fight them off while everyone else left. Even though Steve of creeped out of the space beetles and had made a foul of himself when he tried to impress Aja, when to tried to fight a Skelteg with a basketball. Before they ran into each other again Aja had picked the Spring Fling King sceptre as her weapon of choice, but when Steve of it in Aja's hands he trades his bat for it before he gives Aja a wink. Aja smiled by Steve's wink while he smiled at her. Once they found Mark making a video on the Skeltegs before they swarmed around them, Aja and Steve, along with Krel and Mary did what they can to stump them out until Mary's ringtone gave Aja and Krel the idea to get rid of them with music. While Aja and her brother went to get the boombox, Steve held the fort with Mary and had used his ringtone when Mary's phone died.

During the time loop in "D'aja Vu", Aja witness Steve's repeated conversion with Eli at the science fair about why Eli didn't make Steve a science project for the fair as well. At first Aja didn't know what was going on and ends up "jinxing" Steve's words, as it makes him wonder how Aja would be in sink with his words. Along another time jump having Aja tell Steve that Eli hates helping him before the day was reset, again. With help from Steve's former rival, Jim Lake and his Trollhunting friends, Aja is able to stop the troll who is the cause of the time loop but when their actions got her and their secrets revealed to Steve and the rest of Arcadia, they make one last time jump that will prevent Porgon from creating the loop time in the first place. Not long would it erase Steve's memory of Aja's secret, it will also mean that Aja will have no memory of the time loop that no longer happened.

In "Party Crashers" Steve found the courage to ask Aja out for the group bonfire, while calming it is a group thing when Aja asked Steve if he is asking her out on a date. When she informs Krel of this he tells her that Steve's request indicates that he has a crush on her, the word "crush" however has Aja think that she might had crushed a part of Steve's body when she kicked him in "Mind Over Matter". Aja prepared for her date she like the way Krel and their robot parents were embarrassing her about it, and had called Steve her date when Mother saw Steve approach the "house" and asked its inheritances if "she" should attack the Palchuk, before they left. Once

Part 2
With Aja being worried about Varvatos since Stuart and Buster failed to find him, she enlist Steve to help her find clues to what had happened to her guardian.

Fanon
At first a few fans weren't so sure about the ship, due to way Steve actioned in the first part of Trollhunters until 3Below allowed fans to see other parts to Steve's character during its devilment beside Aja's, and began to support the ship. As Staja began the main ship of 3Below in the Tales of Arcadia franchise, as the second ToA story continued to showcase their relationship. Even though it isn't the most popular ship in the whole of the Tales of Arcadia fandom, like Jlaire is, Staja still has supporters. Some fans have even compared Staja to the Voltron: Legendary Defender ship, Allurance, since Steve is shown to have a few Lance-like traits and with both Aja and Allura being alien princesses; while both Netflix shows were made by DreamWorks.
