Digimon AU

Digimon AU is a popular AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Jack Frost are partnered up with Digimon.

About the AU
In this AU, the members of the Big Four are portrayed as "DigiDestined" or "Digimon Tamers", children that are partnered with digimon - or "digital monsters" - to empower them to fight off other digimon.

Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III
Hiccup is usully portrayed as a DigiDestined/Digimon Tamer. Being a natural-born leader in-canon, Hiccup is usually portrayed as the leader of the group, complete with goggles to fit with the recurring motifs digimon leaders possess. Fans have given him the Crest of friendship.

Toothless is usually portrayed as his digimon partner Toothlessmon, his various levels resembling a cyborg/dragon-esq motif. This further cements Hiccup's position as leader, as many of the series' leaders possess dinosaur-like digimon as partners, many of their digivolved forms possessing cyborg qualities.

Jack Frost
With his history, Jack is a lone DigiDestined/Digimon Tamer (that has been one the longest) that bumps into the group a few times before he and his digital partner finally join them. Jack's partner can be an Ice Digimon (like Frigimon or Sorcermon) or one that likes to have fun and play tricks. With Baby Tooth as a Piximon, that travels, helps the two out in their battles and feels safer at Jack's side. The crest he carries is Sincerity.

Merida DunBroch
Merida is the serious one among the DigiDestened/Digimon Tamers, that acts like the second in-command with the support of her partner. Merida's Digimon can be skilled at archery or bear like (like Bearmon) to resemble her mother or brothers' bear forms, her partner can also be horse like to resemble Angus or having Angus portrayed as Angusmon. Her bravery gives her the crest of Courage.

Rapunzel Corona
Rapunzel is the DigiDestened/Digimon Tamer that is the shy one and dose her best to keep the team together when things look dark and down. She can even be the one that carries medical supplies/a first aid kit, so she can treat and take care of her friends and their digimon. Her digital-monster can be between plant like (like Floramon or Lalamon), has powers over the sun and light or Pascal portrayed as Pascalmon. Fans have also given her the crest of Light.

Big Hero 6
Like the original DigiDestined/Digimon Tamer teams in the series, the team are portrayed as DigiDestineds from Japan. With original (real) Digimon or Fakemon (fanmade Digimon) that are based on their armor, as they keep San Fransokyo safe, travel to and from or trying to find their way home from the Digital World. Given the heavy use of science-fiction and darker themes, the Big Hero Six would resembles the team from the third season the most.

The Man in the Moon
MiM helps the chosen children and their digital partners as they fight to free the Digital World that he watches over, much like Gennai and Ophanimon.

Pitch Black
Pitch is portrayed as the "Dark Lord" virus-attribute Digimon that unleashes chaos across the Digital World and sends dark, powerful or controlled Digimon to get rid of the chosen children that were sent to stop him. Much like Devimon and his black gears and the Digimon Emperor and his control spires, Pitch Black would influence other digimon through the use of his Nightmares.

In other cases, Pitch would act as the corrupt human-companion to a malevolent digimon or a government agent that meddles with the affairs of the main heroes.

Heather
Heather's past makes her a DigiDestined/Digimon Tamer, that was chosen and given the task to spy and gain the Chosen Children's trust by a Virus Digimon, much like Koichi Kimura with Cherubimon and Nene Amano with Bagramon. As Heather and her partner (Windshear as Windshearmon) were doing their job for their 'master', Heather grew close to the chosen heroes and later joins them when she and her partner realized what they were doing is wrong and Heather hopes that her new friends can help her and digital partner to undo their "wrong" deeds.

Her brother, Dagur could of been chosen beside his sister as they both were given their Digiviecs, digital partners and the power to help their master in his or her task.

Dragon Riders
The members of the Berk Dragon Training Academy are portrayed as a group of DigiDestineds/Digimon Tamers, with their dragons as their digital partners. The dragons that they had trained, faced, came across and befriended in the DreamWorks Dragons films and TV series can also be portrayed as digital monsters that they fight, help and befriend.
