Conia

Colnia is the het ship between Cole and Vania from the Ninjago fandom.

Season 13: Master of the Mountain
The Ninja take a trip to Shintaro to celebrate Princess Vania’s birthday. Out of all of them, she took a special interest in Cole. When Cole and Vania both meet, they stare at each other. Jay points out that Vania might like Cole, making Lloyd seem suspicious that they like each other.

That night, Lloyd warns Cole that Vania may not be what he thinks, but Cole says that he doesn't like her that way and that Lloyd thinks he does. Because of Vania being a princess, Cole asks if Lloyd asked the question because of a previous experience with a princess happened to Lloyd, which he denies. When Cole was about to head to bed, he sees a Geckle. He calls the ninjas and Master Wu for an emergency meeting, but they think it isn’t real. Later, Cole stumbles upon Vania who heard what he said about the Geckle. She mentions that she thinks it was her imaginary friend of hers and she wonders if it was real. Then they discovered the dungeon below Shinataro and they saw more creatures like it. Cole stayed behind and told Vania to call for help.

While the ninja head to the dungeon go find Cole, Vania and Wu stayed at the palace. Vania uses cardboard cut-outs to pretend to be the ninja so nobody gets suspicious while they’re gone. She grabs a Cole cardboard cutout, she says she assumes he’s the leader of the ninja because of how courageous and daring he is. Master Wu was surprise of her saying this.

Later, Vania starts telling her worries for the ninja’s safety to her pet dragon, Chompy. She was sure they can protect themselves, but is also thinking of going into the dungeon to help them. She thinks that Cole is doing just fine. Meanwhile back underground, Cole get stuck in spiderweb. Just when the giant spider was about to finish him, Vania alongside Chompy saves Cole from the giant spider. Cole says he was glad to see her. Her pet dragon Chompy transforms to a bigger dragon, which surprises Cole. He points it out to Vania but she thinks he’s silly and says Chompy growls a bit when he gets angry. Vania helps free Cole from the spider webs.

Back at the surface, Cole and Vania manages to get out of the mines. Wu was shocked that only Cole returned. They head off to tell King Vangelis to help them fight the Skull Sorcerer. Vangelis was angry that Vania went into the dungeon, she explains she had to because Cole and the other ninjas were trapped. Vangelis then reveals himself to be the Skull Sorcerer which makes Cole, Vania, and Wu were shocked. Vania sides with Cole to fight against her own father. Vangelis opens a trapdoor beneath Cole and Wu, sending them underground. Vania takes a pair of wings and is about to leap in. Vangelis tells her that she won’t make it in time to save them. Even threatening her that he will not consider her as his daughter anymore if she does. She hesitates at first, but leaps in anyways.

Down at the pit, Vania glides down and reaches for Cole and Wu’s hands. Cole asks if she was sure those wings can carry them all, she replies that she isn’t sure but it was their only chance. Vania manages to grab Cole and Wu. But her wings couldn’t carry them all and broke. Vania is now falling alongside them. They land on a giant spiderweb. A giant spider approaches them, Cole gets wrapped in spiderweb. Vania tells him to calm down. She explains what’s happening on the outside while he’s still wrapped in. Another spider comes in, it gets into a fight with the other spider for Cole. An even bigger spider comes in, Cole yells for someone to do something. Vania manages to free one of her arms and throws an object at the spider, making it target her. Meanwhile Wu manages to free Cole. Cole cuts the spiderweb beneath them, making them falling down the pit again. They slide down, Vania and Cole get separated from Wu for a short time. They reunite and land into water, which leads them into a giant whirlpool. Wu tells Cole to use his elemental powers to break the stalactites to cover the hole of the whirlpool. Vania motivates him to focus. He breaks it and they climb on the stalactites, but Cole accidentally breaks it and they reached Rock-Bottom.

Cole regains consciousness. Vania is happy to see is Cole ok. They meet the Lowly, a group of adventurers who were stuck at Rock-Bottom for years. Cole makes a plan for them to escape Rock-Bottom and renames the group to Upply. Cole leads them to try and find a path to escape. Plundar complains that they don’t need a leader to help them to get even more lost. Vania injects him saying that Cole is trying to help them and is a fantastic leader. They ended up going back to Rock-Bottom, making Cole upset. But after Wu tells him to connect with his powers, he finds an underwater path to escape. Vania screams seeing a skull underwater, Cole gives her a boosts to swim up to the surface. They reach a path surrounded by lava with floating rocks. A giant lava monster emerges, Cole, Plundar, Fungus, and Korgran defeat it. Cole pushes Vania to safety as the lava monster gets crushed.

They discover the Heart of the Mountain, the legendary temple that belonged to Elemental Masters of Earth. They get inside, Vania asks Cole who the statue was. Wu replies it was Cole’s mother, Lilly. Vania tells Cole to try to do the Spinjitzu Burst to defeat her father. Cole attempts to do it, but isn’t able to. He wasn’t even sure he could do it, he leaves the temple. Vania tells Wu that he should help Cole instead of just doing nothing.

Cole makes a plan to escape the dungeon. Wu and the Upply get on a mine cart, while Cole controls the Stone Mech with Vania inside as a passenger. Before they go, Vania gets worried facing against her father, Cole tells her than she won’t be alone and that he, Wu, and the Upply would be there with her. She gets motivated and Cole uses the mech to push the mine cart. Vania ask Cole of the Lava Monster is still gonna be on the tracks, Cole is sure it isn’t, only to be proven wrong as they pass by the Lava Monster. The Lava Monster chases them. Cole fights Dire bats attacking them, Vania cries to Cole about the mine cart falling into the lava with Wu and the Upply in it. Cole with the Stone Mech manages to catch them on time, but when they get on the track, the mech overheats making them go too fast. They crash in front of the palace gardens, Cole asks if Vania was ok, which she nods.

Inside the palace, Chompy was locked up in a cage, Vania asks for Cole’s help, he uses his Earth powers to free Chompy. Hailmar, the Leader of the Army of Shintaro, tells Vania that Cole, Wu, and the Upply are dangerous. She defends against him and whispers to Cole to go.

Later, while Cole was fighting the Skull Sorcerer, Vania glides in the dungeon alongside the Army of Shintaro and Wu to help fight the skull army. Cole manages to get the strength to perform the Spinjitzu Burst and defeats the Skull Sorcerer. Cole collapses, Vania and Hailmar catch him.

Cole attends Vania’s coronation as the new Queen of Shintaro. After that, the ninja are getting ready to head back home. Vania and Cole say their goodbyes. Vania tells him if he needs anything, he can ask her and she’ll send the entire Army of Shintaro to his aid.

- Vania, Dungeon Crawl!

"Princess Vania, it's me, Cole. You told me once if I ever needed help, you'd bring the entire Army of Shintaro to my aid. I think you meant it metaphorically, but that's actually what I need. Literally. The entire Army of Shintaro."

Fanon
is a not a very popular ship within the fandom. It only has 20 fanworks on AO3. A writer on the show, who wrote some of the Cole/Vania episodes, said in a tweet that they aren’t a couple and Cole isn’t interested in Vania romantically. While according to one of the show’s co-creators, it’s up the the audiences interpretation on how they view their relationship. A lot of people within the fandom likes them to stay as just friends after Master of the Mountain, but there are also shippers within the fandom who ship them because they enjoy their interactions during the season. The ship has a bit controversy because of Vania’s unconfirmed age. Some think she’s still a teenager, which Cole isn’t anymore. While others think she’s a young woman, just as old as Cole.
