"Once Upon A Time" has left viewers wondering whether there is a connection between Robin Hood and Merida. Some fans held the assumption of a possible relationship between the two characters based on the "Brave" princess' expertise to use a bow and arrow.
Co-creator of "Once Upon A Time," Eddy Kitsis, cleared these doubts by revealing to TV Line that, "Robin does not have a connection to Merida, but he will interact with her."
He added that fans will experience the adventurous side of Robin in season 5.
Apparently, Merida will interact with other characters in the show apart from Robin. According to the co-creator of the show, Adam Horowitz, Merida will start by interacting with Emma (the new Dark One) before meeting other members of the cast in the course of season 5.
Belle and Merida will undertake a unique adventure together. Horowitz informed the publication that, "We've always wondered what would happen if Merida and Belle went on an adventure together... we hope you do, too, because it is coming!"
Another possible relationship that might have raised questions among fans is between Rumple and Merida. Rumple, Scottish like Merida, will feature in flashbacks in the fifth installment. Kitsis and Horowitz confirmed that Merida is not Rumple's mother.
However, although the two characters (Merida and Rumple) are not related by blood, given that they are polar contrasts will tie them together in the storyline.
Horowitz told Entertainment Weekly, "(Merida's) bravery and (Rumple's) cowardice, and that certainly fit into the story that we-re telling with him and her and all of our characters."
According to the show creators, Merida will be the most favorite character for fans and most interesting.
