In all honesty, I don’t think Merida will be a blood relative, and for one major reason. Disney might have Adam and Eddy on a tight leash in regards to what they can do with the character, like what happened with the Frozen characters. Especially when Merida is a purely Disney-Pixar creation. Anna and Elsa were carbon copies of their film counterparts, so chances are the same will be the case for Merida. So like Anna and Elsa, I think the twist with Merida will simply be how that character interacts with the OUAT universe, while she’ll remain true to the original character.
I’m inclined to think this too. As far as the OUAT universe is concerned, Merida’s story from the movie already happened, and this is the next chapter. So they could have her befriend Emma because she’s got the experience of having had a mother who became a beast, but was still a good person on the inside and she helped save her, so she’s gonna help Emma too. And Merida’s experience with claiming ownership over herself and her own destiny could help influence Emma to do the same and overcome the DO.
Still can’t really figure out how Emma and Merida end up in a scene with PeasantRumple, unless Emma gets sent back in time. Unless it’s some sorta flash sideways.
*whispers* Part of me wants Merida to exist in the present time so I can ship her with Mulan. BraveWarrior would be an awesome ship name.

Edit: OK things are showing up now. That was weird. Nevermind. Carry on.July 13, 2015 at 5:41 am #306116TheWatcherParticipantIs Merida based on an existing fairytale? I’m trying to imagine if we could find a way to connect her to anything Camelot-y but then it hit me that I don’t think brave is actually based on an actual story.
One part of me wants to say that Merida is the black fairy, and since she was banished, she has somehow meet up with Emma and showing her the ropes in being Little Miss Evilz. But I…. Really don’t think that works.
I also wonder…… What if Rumpels mother… Is the Witch from Brave. I know this sounds stupid but… Anyone read the Pixar Theory? Well the gist of the theory is that the witch from brave is actually Boo from Monsters Inc and that she started practicing magic in order to find her way back to Sulley. It makes sense when its fully explained. Anyway, that sounds just like Rumpel going deeper into magic in order to find his son. As for the whole Camelot being all time weird, the Pixar theory basically goes that all the Pixar don’t exist in different worlds/continuities but exist in different TIME periods. Monster Inc being the future of the Pixar world, with the monsters going back in time to steak screams from children *realizing how crazy this all sounds* Look, I posted theory here a year or two ago, go check it out to have your mind blown. All I’m saying is, this could be a thing.

What the heck. My post just disappeared. Again >___< I can’t even right now. I’m boy typing it all over so here is the basics of it:

"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"July 13, 2015 at 8:39 am #306123RumplesGirlKeymasterAs for the witch from Brave being Rumple mom: it’s possible, but seems unlikely. Adam said that they hope to get to Rumple’s mom “someday” which means it’s not happening this season at all and this show rarely (very rarely) carries Disney stories over arcs. Peter Pan didn’t have anything to do with 3B and on, for example. Frozen played no part in 4B. Zelena is really the one exception. So if Brave is playing some role (how major of a role is yet to be determined) in 5A then I doubt it’s going to carry past that–unless my theory that Merida is Hook/Emma’s daughter is correct. However, if that’s true then I *really* doubt that Rumple’s mom is the witch.

So it’s not just me then? My post posted, but when I went back to the list of topics, it wasn’t showing that I’d posted, so I went back in the thread and my post wasn’t there. Logged out and back in again, posted again, and suddenly my previous post was showing up as well. Watcher, I can see two posts from you, this one I’ve quoted, and the one that you said had disappeared. Let’s see if this post shows up after I hit submit…
Edit: OK, looks like it’s working again now.
July 13, 2015 at 9:03 am #306126SlurpeezParticipantI think that if Merida is related to anyone, her being the daughter of Zelena and Robin Hood makes the most sense. Come on, her red curly hair and her mad archery skills…

July 13, 2015 at 9:18 am #306127PanTheManParticipantMaybe Morgan le Fey is what connects Merida. Perhaps Morgan le Fey is the witch that turned Merida’s mom into the bear.

Adam already shut that theory down. See a few pages back for the tweet.
