DonClara is the het ship between Clara Cluck and Donald Duck from the Mickey Mouse and Friends fandom.
Canon[]
Early versions of Donald Duck and Clara both appeared in the 1934 short “The Wise Little Hen.” In the story, Clara’s prototype acts as the titular character and seeks out Donald’s help as she is trying to plant, grow, and later harvest corn. Donald, along with his friend Peter Pig, repeatedly pleads to be excused from the tasks on account of a sudden stomachache. Unfortunately for him, the hen eventually learns that he and Peter have been lying about their conditions simply to avoid work.
Thoroughly disgusted by the pair, the hen decides to teach them a lesson. She pays them a final visit to see whether they’d like to help her eat the corn, to which they respond with enthusiasm. However, given their “history” of stomachaches, the hen gives them only a bottle of castor oil for their supposed conditions. Unwilling to bring themselves to admit the truth and ask forgiveness, Donald and Peter are forced to watch as the hen and her chicks sit down to a feast of corn and corn-based delicacies.
Clara would later make a proper debut with her name and a more anthropomorphic design in the short “Orphan’s Benefit”, joining Donald as a part of the official Mickey Mouse and Friends cast. The two would appear prominently together in the 1936 short “Mickey’s Grand Opera”, which would involve them combining their distinctive vocal styles in an operatic performance to humorous results.
Donald and Clara appeared together on a card from the 1946-1948 Mickey Mouse card game.
In the Mickey Mouseworks short "Double Date Don", Clara becomes infatuated with Donald after seeing him build a brick wall for his girlfriend Daisy Duck.
In One Man's Dream II: The Magic Lives On!, a show at Tokyo Disney Resort, Clara joins Donald in his attempts to produce a film as one of the actors.
Both characters appear in the game Disney Speedstorm, Donald as a playable racer and Clara as an assignable Crew member. As both are part of the Mickey and Friends collection, Clara can be assigned to Donald.
Fanon[]
DonClara is rather a rarepair, with Clara being one of the more obscure Mickey Mouse characters. Though introduced in the same time period as Donald, Clara was eventually overshadowed by the later introduced Daisy Duck. DonDaisy is easily Donald’s most prominent het ship, with DonClara’s existence barely registering in its presence. Donald has also had a handful of other het love interests over the decades since his creation. Clara has also been seen in or at least pursuing other relationships, notably with Donald’s close friend Panchito Pistoles (see PanClara) and Donald’s cousin Gus Goose.
