Ariel From The Little Mermaid Art

1 Ariel as Melisandre from Game of Thrones

From the artist: "The iconic red hair made this pairing a no-brainer. Personality-wise, the sweet, naive Ariel is pretty much at the opposite end of the spectrum from Stannis' ruthless, ambitious, fervent, and shadow-baby-birthing red priestess."

See all the Disney and GOT mashups! Can you guess who'd depict who?
