At first, I was like "Daring and Cerise, what??" but then the idea grew of me to the point where I would talk about Darise headcanons with my friends, and I ended up being the person in the fandom who named the ship Darise (after going through a million other possible ship names...)

Then small things in the show started happening. Like, early on, every time that Daring and Cerise appeared, they would be next to each other. People in the fandom slowly started catching on and it become a fandom-wide ship. I liked it because they were both athletic and competitive, and I felt that if written well, they would be really sweet together.

Of course, Darizzie sailed by and blew the Darise ship out of the water. I kinda lost interest, and only fell back in love with Darise when Thronecoming came along.

Then I lost interest in it again. I don't know why, but Darise stopped becoming my OTP. I guess it was when I starting shipping other ships or something.

Right now I don't really ship Daring with anyone, and I kinda ship Cerise with Rosabella (because Beauty and the Beast is such a magnificent pun). But Darise will always have a small place in my heart because it was such a huge part in my involvement with this fandom~
