Ralida

Ralida is the het ship between Wreck-It Ralph and Merida from the Disney fandom.

Canon
As Ralph and Merida are from different series, they have never met in canon. As well as the fact that Merida is also a Pixar character.

While the Disney crossover film that serves as the Wreck-It Ralph squeal, Ralph Breaks the Internet, has Ralph encountering the online version of Merida that is known as a "netizen", an inhabitant of the digital made world that lies within the real-life internet. They meet shortly after she and the other netizen Disney Princesses worked together to save his life, since they are all friends with Vanellope. Netizen Merida's role in saving Ralph had her using her bow and archery skills to send the strand of netizen Rapunzel's hair, along with netizen Jaq and Gus to netizen Anna and Cinderella so the two princesses and mice can sew Belle and Tiana's gowns on them from their end, in order to create a dress made parachute to caught and deliver Ralph to safety.

Both Ralph and Merida are shown to have fiery tempers, as it is part of Ralph's role as the bad guy in his home arcade game while Merida's is due to built up frustration of living a life that doesn't give her much time to be her true self. Whenever their tempers get the better of them they break thing, like a cake and tapestry. Much like how Merida longs for a more freeing life without her princess duties and studies, Ralph is tired of being treated like a "bad guy" when he is really a nice person outside game play and wants a chance to be treated like the good guy. Merida has three triplet, little brothers that can be wee devils while Ralph's friend Vanellope is like a little sister to him, even though she stole his Medal of Hero's when they first met and bugged him as he tried to get it out of a candy Cain tree.

Fanon
Disney ship fans enjoy doing crossover ships with its many characters, and the femslash ships are commonly with its iconic Disney Princesses. 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, the crossover fandom that is made up of the two Disney and DreamWorks films, Brave, Tangled, Rise of the Guardians and How to Train Your Dragon, 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 AUs of its cinematic universe, where both Ralph and Merida are commonly portrayed as the Hulk and Black Widow.

Due to the modern setting in Wreck-It Ralph compared to Brave, along with Ralph briefly meeting the Netizen version of Merida in Ralph Breaks the Internet, she is sometimes portrayed with the more modern looking clothes that her online counterpart wears in the sequel film.
