I 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…
Adam already shut that theory down. See a few pages back for the tweet.
I didn’t read through all the pages…Just seems like another missed opportunity.

Eh, I don’t think a popular Disney/Pixar princess being conceived as a result of rape would have been the best move. Disney likely would have vetoed the idea in a heartbeat even if Adam and Eddy were that crazy to consider it. Zelena and Robin also aren’t royalty.

Adam has already said no (but take it for what you will)
Maybe Morgan le Fey is what connects Merida. Perhaps Morgan le Fey is the witch that turned Merida’s mom into the bear.
That would be a good connection.

I agree with Matt on this one. If RH and Zelena had been an actual romantic couple and not rape filled….insert your choice word here….then yes, it’s a good bet. But since the story was it was…nope.

You know the thought probably already crossed their mind….though I’d much prefer if Merida had a connection with someone new for a change.
Hook had the connection with Pan & Ursula.
Regina had the connection with Tinkerbelle, Maleficent, Cruella, and Ursula.
Emma had the connection with Elsa.
David and Belle’s was with Anna.
Rumple connections are with everybody.
I’d like to see Merida have connection with either Belle or Snow….Snow mostly because I can see Merida toughening Pre-Bandit Snow up.

I actually hope (*twitch*) they do, because Merida’s thing is like…
“There are those who say fate is something beyond our command. That destiny is not our own, but I know better. Our fate lives within us, you only have to be brave enough to see it.”
and…
“There comes a day when I don’t have to be a princess. No rules, no expectations. A day where anything can happen. A day where I can change my fate.”
and…
“I am Merida, and I’ll be shooting for my own hand.”
…and I’d rather Emma end up being the one to save herself from the DO curse by summoning the self belief to beat it, so I’d be pretty OK with Merida’s attitude rubbing off on her a bit.
July 14, 2015 at 8:21 am #306178RumplesGirlKeymasterIf they do go the route of Merida and Emma as friends then I hope Merida sticks around because I’m really tired of Emma developing a strong female friendly relationship only for it to be swept away because “end of arc.” (note: Yes, Regina is her friend now but there is no law that says Emma can only have one friend….)
"He was a lot of things to me" "The only conclusion was love"July 14, 2015 at 12:19 pm #306183TheWatcherParticipantMerida and Emma being friends I’d weird for me because Emma is evil as far as we know. How the heck would that work? Is Emma not this seasons villain?

Well who knows because thus far Emma is with everyone in the EF/SB merge and not in any kind of “dark” costume. I still think this is a flashforward
