Jalireja

Jalireja is the poly ship between Jim Lake Jr., Claire Nuñez and Aja Tarron from the Tales of Arcadia fandom.

Trollhunters
Before Jim and Claire could begin to collect the items on their end of Merlin's list, Señor Uhl assigns Jim to show Aja Tarron and her younger brother, Krel around town to make up for the days of school he missed. When Jim re-joins Claire she wasn't sure why he brought two strangers with him, until Jim explains why he needs to go through with his second assigned task and decides to merge the two tasks together. Claire found Aja a little odd and wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but she went along with it to help Jim graduate. The two first took Aja to the Janus Order to collect dead Changeling bones, while making Aja believe that it is a top secret teen centre. Claire wasn't impressed with Jim's cover up story and as Aja takes a look around it, he asks Claire if she could have came up with a better to story to explain why they were there, without without revealing the existence of Trolls to either of the Tarrons. Aja got a glimpses of the world Jim and Claire protect when Jim accidently got the monitor room to showcase footage of his battle with the fake Gunmar. Luckily Aja mistook it for a "moving picture story," that is of "Trollhunters" when Jim and Claire told the Tarrons what the story is called at the same time.

The two made Claire's house their next stop, so Claire can distract Aja and her brother while Jim and Toby try to catch lightning in a bottle. When Claire ran out of things to show them Aja finds out what Jim was trying to do with Toby and offers to help them. With no better idea how to get a bolt of lightning in a small jar, Jim and Claire allow Aja to help them. Aja has Krel turn the bottle Jim and Claire planed to place the lighting into a lightning catching device, while Aja uses the laptop in Claire's room to hack into the town's power grid. Claire is the first to see what Aja is doing for them and invites Jim to do them in Claire's bed so he can see it for himself, even though Claire was worried that Aja's hacking is illegal; but Aja didn't know what legal means and asks Claire if she can explain it to her. After Aja used Claire's laptop to direct the power to a location they can collect it, Jim provides them with the metal that will help them draw the lightning-like power into the jar. Aja when saw Jim in his Trollhunter armour he and Claire told her that it is a "safety suit", while Aja was more focused on the glowing blue glow of Jim's amulet before they duck for cover. Once Aja and her brother's planned worked, Jim and Claire thanked them for their help as the two tell them that they couldn't have got the lightning in the bottle without them and that they are amazing. Jim hopes that he and Claire might be able to see Aja again during the summer, Aja liked the sound of that and subjects that they could meet up at the "teen centre" before they parted ways. Jim and Claire's plans for summer, however, were changed when Jim was turned into a half human-troll and later Arcadia left with the trolls.

3Below
Part one of 3Below takes place in the same timeline as part three of Trollhunters, while part two takes place after Jim and Claire had left Arcadia with the trolls but Aja does hear a few things about the two from their friend, Toby.

The events of "D'aja Vu" reveals that Aja has met Jim and Claire long before the events of "In Good Hands". When Aja came to Earth a piece of Akiridion tech fell off the Mother Ship and it was later found by a trickster troll Jim and Claire were chasing but failed to catch. This began a time loop that only Jim remembers until he jumped into Aja at the science museum he and Claire followed Porgon to. When the said troll attacked Aja uses her serrator to protect Jim from his attack, as Jim asks Aja what the thing in her hand is Claire tells him to "trust the girl", before Porgon reset the day. Jim took Claire's advice on trusting Aja as he asks Aja for her help, and after Claire enters the building on the reset day Jim is pleased to know that Aja remembers it and knows what the strange item in the troll's hand is. At first Jim was shock that Aja turned out to be an alien, but the experience he and Claire have had in the troll world helped him though it as he tells Aja that her true form is cool, before he calls Claire. The shield of Aja's serrator is what has been protecting Aja's memories of the time loop and Jim has her do the same for Claire and the others, after he tells her and Aja is an alien. Like Jim, Claire to amazed to learn that alien exist. Jim and Claire's group met up as Aja's house so they can have more time to form a plan of attack. Aja's un patient actions, however, had caused them to live though another reset day and as Aja was about to do it again, Jim stops Aja by telling her of the time he went into the Darklands alone and how he would have remained trapped there if it wasn't for Claire and the others. Jim's story gets Aja to tell him, Claire and their friends the hardships that fell upon her family. Once they settled on a plan the three and their parties were finally able to defeat Porgon and clam the piece of Akkadian tech from him, but their combined actions had accidently exposed their secrets to a large crowd of people who'll sped the word out. In order to safe guard their secrets again, Aja's brother comes up with the time to do one last time jump that will allow Jim and Claire to catch Porgon on the night he found the piece of tech from Aja's home planet, but it will that the reset day they each other in would never have happened and they'll lose their memories of the friendship they formed during it. The thought of the outcome saddened Aja and Jim, but Blinky reassures them that their new friendship will allow fate to one day bring them together again, and with that thought giving them hope Jim, Claire and Aja help the others go through with the time jump.

The day before Aja re-met Jim and Claire at school in "Lightning in a Bottle" (the 3Below side of the events from the Trollhunters episode "In Good Hands"), the Akiridion Princess sees the two in the forest from afar and the blue glow from the Amulet of Daylight got her to think that the two and their short friend had found her missing weapon. Just like how Jim and Claire did her best to keep Aja from learning about the Trolls in Arcadia during their tour, Aja wanted to get her "weapon" back without their knowledge, but every time Aja tries to do so Jim catches her looking at his bag. Before Aja met Jim, Claire and their friend Toby, she and Krel were made to think that being weird was a bad thing, but Jim and Claire's own oddness helped the Tarrons to learn that it can also be a good thing. That is why Aja wasn't upset when she learned that Jim and Claire never had her missing serrator to begin with, but is glad that she and Krel were able to help their new friends. When Aja parted way with Jim and Claire in "Lightning in a Bottle", she called them "Trollhunters".

Moments

 * Aja puts her arms around Jim and Claire's shoulders as she explains what the word "lively" means.

 * Jim stands between Aja and Claire when the three realize that they have been caught.

Last Day on Earth
 * Aja sees Jim and Claire fighting the Gumm-Gumm army and wanted to help them save Arcadia, but trouble happening back at the Mother Ship kept her from doing so.

Fanon
Jalireja is a rare poly ship of the three, since Jim and Claire's shared interactions with Aja are short but it hasn't stopped fans from shipping them together, or drawing the three with the rest of their shared friends. Jlaire and Ajim fans, however, feel that Claire might had been jealous of Aja when they compared the glare-like look she gave Jim to the one he gives Douxie in Trollhunters.

On AO3, the ship has 1/2 fanfics.
