Pharaoh AU (also known as Pharaoh/Servant AU and Egyptian AU) is an AU in the fandom where the Big Four are members of Ancient Egyptian society.
About the AU[]
Spawning from fanart, this AU places the Big Four, and other such characters in the fandom, as people living in ancient Egypt. This often plays them as either as part of the royal family, servants to the royal family, normal citizens or all of the above.
This AU is most commonly used for the Hijack pairing, and is often considered an alternative to Atlantis AU and Tarzan AU.

Featured Characters[]
The Big Four[]
Hiccup Horrendous Haddock III[]
Hiccup (his first film incarnation anyway) is most commonly portrayed as a servant, especially in Hijack scenarios where Jack is the Pharaoh/prince. With Hiccup's second film incarnation, Hiccup usually portrays the part of the Pharaoh. In AU scenarios based on The Prince of Egypt, Hiccup can either be seen as the Pharaoh Rameses due to their inventive ideas, rationalism, and sense of duty to their people, or Aaron, the brother of Moses for their similar sarcastic, timid, and rational personalities.
Jack Frost[]
For his personality and extravagant powers and story in Rise of the Guardians, Jack is most commonly portrayed as the titular Pharaoh (or at least future Pharaoh). This is most often used in Hijack scenarios, switching roles as Hiccup's servant should he play the Pharaoh. In AU scenarios based on The Prince of Egypt, Jack can be seen as Moses, the former Prince of Egypt and Deliverer of the Hebrews, due to the fact that they both had a heritage they knew nothing about, slightly cocky attitudes, an indifference to others (specifically those of his kind) at first until they began to truly open their eyes, and their uncertainty about their places in life after they face a life-changing situation.
Merida DunBroch[]
As Merida is a princess in-canon, Merida is often seen as an heir to the title of Pharaoh, dressed in royal garb similar to her canon-clothes. In AU scenarios based on The Prince of Egypt, Merida is often seen as Moses’s wife Tzipporah, since they are both fiery and feisty women who valued their freedom and were indifferent to romance until they began to open up to the subject. However, she can also be cast as Moses’s older sister Miriam, since they both value their freedom greatly and fight against their unfair government.
Rapunzel Corona[]
Paralleling the original movie, plenty see Rapunzel as growing up as a Peasant Girl, discovering later in life that she was actually the long-lost daughter to the Pharaoh, her hair being blessed by the sun god Ra. In AU scenarios based on The Prince of Egypt, Rapunzel can be seen as Miriam, Moses’s sister, since they are both very kind-hearted, speak out against their oppressors, and care deeply about gaining their freedom.
