Kingdom Hearts AU

Kingdom Hearts AU (also known as KH AU and Keyblade Wielder AU) is an AU (Alternate Universe) within the Rise of the Brave Tangled Dragons fandom. In the AU, Rapunzel, Merida, Hiccup and Jack Frost are placed into the expansive universe from the Square Enix video-game franchise Kingdom Hearts. Because it is not canon, ideas for this AU are shown through fanfiction, fanart, and other fan-made works. This AU is considered an offshoot of Fairy Tale AU and Arcade AU.

About the AU
Spawned from fanart, this AU places the Big Four within the Kingdom Hearts Universe, each inhabiting their own world within this universe and meeting Sora, Donald and Goofy through such circumstances.

How they meet one another differs between interpretations, either having their own fantastical journeys in their worlds (adding in elements from the video game's main characters, the Heartless, the Nobodies, et cetera) or meeting each other through circumstances in congregating hub-worlds like Traverse Town or Hollow Bastion/Radiant Garden. In other circumstances, each of the characters gather together and become the main characters in their own stories, even being the wielders of their own keyblades.

Because the Kingdom Hearts franchise uses excessive elements from popular Disney stories, the likelihood of Merida, Moana, Miguel, Wilbur and Violet, et cetera existing in the Kingdom Hearts universe, like Rapunzel, Elsa, Anna, Hiro and Ralph, is very likely.

This AU can also be an alternative AU with Final Fantasy AU, as elements, traites and characters from the FF games, like FFVII and FFVIII, are placed in the KH series; along with some Final Fantasy themed Keyblades. While the KH manga series makes it an alternative with Manga AU.

Merida DunBroch
Since Kingdom Hearts III has three of the first Disney Pixar characters and worlds (even when only two of the worlds are based upon Pixar films while a single Pixar character appears on the original KH world of Twilight Town) to appear in the Kingdom Hearts series, there is a possible chance that Merida and the world of Brave might appear in future Kingdom Hearts games. Because Merida is a Disney Princess and only three of the new Princesses of Hearts were revealed in Kingdom Hearts III, there is a chance that Merida might end up being one of the new chosen seven.

While here in the AU, Merida is seen as a Keyblade Wielder that wields a Celtic, bow and arrow or a bear styled Keyblade. The keychain of her Keyblade would most likely be DunBroch's Sword clan crest or its kingdom crest (that is seen on necklace and in the castle's throne room above the four wooded thrones). She can also be a young girl that companies and fights along right a Keyblade wielder.

Rapunzel Corona
The world of Tangled is one of the Disney worlds featured in Kingdom Hearts III, as Sora and his friends meet, help, take part and learns from Rapunzel's story. Which could have fans feature Rapunzel as her Kingdom Hearts counterpart, in the same way that some have Rapunzel as her Ralph Breaks the Internet cameo, that is the Netizen version of her from the Oh My Disney website.

While here in the AU, long before KHIII came out and the news of Tangled being part of it was revealed, Rapunzel is a Keyblade Wielder that has a light that shines as bright as the sun and wields a Keyblade that resembles her tower, frying pan, the Golden Flower or her long, golden hair: with Corona's sun crest, the frying pan or one of Corona's lanterns as her blade's keychain. Her Keyblade could even be the official Tangled Keyblade, Ever After, as it resembles her tower (with her long, glowing hair wrapped around it), frying pan and a strangled of her braded hair, along with Corona's sun crest and the Sun Drop Flower. She can also be a young girl that companies and fights along right a Keyblade wielder or could be featured as one of the Disney characters that Sora summons to aid him in battle.

In other circumstances, a Brunet Rapunzel can be portrayed as Kairi, while a Blond Rapunzel plays Naminé. As Kairi is Naminé's somebody and Naminé as Kairi's nobody, so two versions of Rapunzel (brunet and blond) can easily play the role of these two girls; as well as Kairi having a connection to light and Naminé having an interest in art. Her journal can serve as Naminé's Notebook, as both books contain drawings of people's memories that are drawn from the their blond owners. Rapunzel can even be cast as Kingdom Hearts'  version of Aerith, for her pink dress, kindness and being portrayed as her in Final Fantasy AU.

Tinker Bell
In some of the first few KH games (mainly as Peter Pan's fairy), Tink is one of the Disney characters that Sora summons into battle; but it is possible that Sora and his friends "might" take part in some of the Disney Fairies tales. Like the first Tinker Bell film, for when they learn more about their small, fairy friend and become fairies themselves, so they can get around Pixie Hollow. Since Tink is a Disney character, it could have fans feature the Tinker-Talent fairy as her Kingdom Hearts counterpart, in the same way that some have Tink as her Ralph Breaks the Internet cameo, that is the Netizen version of her from the Oh My Disney website.

Tinker Bell is also seen as a Keyblade Wielder that wields one of the Peter Pan themed keyblades; the Fairy Harp and Pixie Petal. Her Keyblade can also be designed to match the themes from Disney Fairy or to resemble her talent as a Tinker.

Hiro Hamada
Hiro and the world of Big Hero 6 appear in Kingdom Hearts III, as Sora and his friends meet, help and learn from Hiro and his friends. Which could have fans feature Hiro as his Kingdom Hearts counterpart, in the same way that some fans have Hiro as his Ralph Breaks the Internet cameo, that is the Netizen version of him from the Oh My Disney website.

While here in the AU, long before KHIII came out and the news of Big Hero 6 being part of it was revealed, Hiro is a Keyblade Wielder that wields a Keyblade that resembles Baymax, Megabot, San Fransokyo or his hero suit-armor. He could even wield the official Big Hero 6 Keyblade, Nano Gear, as it is based on Baymax's 2.0 amour, Megabot, the Microbots (when they form together), the blue color of Wasabi's blades, GoGo's magnetic wheels, the chem-balls that are on the strap of Honey Lemon's chem-purse and the icon that is on Baymax's healthcare chip, as its keychain.

Since Ralph is a Disney character, it could have fans feature him as his Kingdom Hearts counterpart, in the same way that some have a few of the fandom's Disney character members as the Netizen versions of them from Ralph Breaks the Internet.

Queen Elsa

When it is combined with her own magic. Her Keyblade is mostly made to like ice and snow, her ice castle or of her blue dress, with a snowflake or Olaf as it's keychain. Her Keyblade could even be the official Frozen Keyblade, Crystal Snow, as it resembles her ice castle, is decorated with snowflakes (that look closely like her personal mark) and has Olaf as its keychain, or any of the other ice themed and designed keyblades, like Diamond Dust.

Before Frozen was officially added to the Kingdom Hearts universe, as well as coming apart of its series through KHIII, many fans had came up with the common idea of both Sora and Riku traveling to Arendelle where Riku encounters and helps Elsa through her time of fear and isolation, while Sora accompanies and protects Anna.

Alebrijes
Their animal and colorful forms and residing in another realm, can easily make them spirit Dream Eaters. They could also be cast as themselves, for when Sora and the gang's journey takes them to the world of Coco.
