Ralida is the het ship between Wreck-It Ralph and Merida from the Wreck-It Ralph and Brave fandoms.

Canon[]

As Ralph and Merida are from different series, they have never met in canon. Even though a few Disney crossover video games could have them cross paths with each other or get them added to the same team, by player choice.

Both Ralph and Merida are shown to have fiery tempers. Whenever their tempers get the better of them they break things. Much like how Merida longs for a life free of her responsibility as a Princess, Ralph is tired of being treated like a "bad guy" and no longer wishes to be seen as one.

Ralph Breaks the Internet[]

Merida and the other Princesses work together to save Ralph's life. She uses her bow and arrow to send the weaved strands of Rapunzel's hair, along with Jaq and Gus to Anna and Cinderella, in order to create a dress-made parachute to catch and deliver Ralph to safety. Afterwards Merida joins the other princesses in circling Ralph around the bed to see if he was okay. Any friend of Vanellope's was a friend of theirs.

Fanon[]

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, 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. Fans of the ship liked the way that Merida was added to Ralph Breaks the Internet, as a cameo character who is from the world within the internet, along with having her help the other Disney Princesses to save Ralph's life. As it has a version of Merida meeting Ralph in a canon universe that their both from.

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 AU's of its cinematic universe, where both Ralph and Merida are commonly portrayed as the Hulk and Black Widow. As those are the common Marvel characters that the two Disney characters have been portrayed, long before the Rise of Ultron was released and had Bruce and Natasha forming romantic feelings for one another. Inspiring others to join in the support of the Brave/WiR crossover ship.

In 2021 one of the ship's biggest supporters on DeviantArt founded a group to help it gain more attention than it originally started with. The group not only focus on the ship, its characters and the films they are from, but also on canon couples and other crossover ships. That the group's fonder believe to have a similar energy to the ship between Merida x Ralph. Like Fiona x Shrek of DreamWorks, Belle x Beast of Disney, and other couples of a strong willed princess/lady and an outcast who have been seen as a villain/monster by others.
