Merelsa (also called Elsida, Merilsa or Polar Bears) is the name of the pairing between Merida DunBroch from Brave and Queen Elsa from Frozen. Though this is not a popular ship in the Big Four fandom, but there are still many who support the relationship, and it is slowly gaining more loyal followers.
Relationship Overview[]
Since Merida and Elsa are the only two Disney Princesses without a canon love interest, many fans have theorized that both of them might be lesbians, and started to pair them up together. Like Jarida, the relationship between the two can be considered fire and ice, with Merida's fiery spirit and freedom contrasting with Elsa, who lives in fear of her icy powers. Merida would most likely encourage Elsa to be free, and not try to change who she is, and the secluded queen would in turn teach Merida the responsibilities of being royalty.
In some Modern AU fanwork of the ship, the two are sometimes placed in the modern style, comfy clothes that the Netizen versions of them wear in Ralph Breaks the Internet. Fans placing the two in the casual clothes of their online counterparts could simply be due to the way that netizen Elsa was looking, as well as smiling at netizen Merida after she spoke her only lines in the film, as many soon began to assume that the online, cameo counterpart of Elsa is a lesbian who has feelings for the online, cameo counterpart of Merida. That assumption has strengthen the notice and popularity the ship.
