Dragon Rose

Dragon Rose is the family ship between Ruby Rose and Taiyang Xiao Long from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
Ruby is Taiyang's younger daughter he had with Summer Rose. Though he sometimes annoys her, the two seem to have a healthy, happy father-daughter relationship. In the finale of volume 3, Taiyang is at Ruby's bedside when she wakes up and demonstrates relief when she regains consciousness. However, he seems hesitant to tell her more details when Ruby asks about what she could not remember. He is also shown deeply annoyed when Qrow interrupts them.

Later, when Taiyang discovers that Ruby left for Haven Academy, he madly dashes throughout the house, though he is unsucessful in finding his daughter. After several months have passed, in volume 4, it is shown that he wants to bring Ruby back home, but is unable to since he feels that he has to look after Yang and doesn't want to abandon her. This caretaking mainly consists of being there for Yang emotionally and later by training with her to allow her time to adjust to moving and fighting with her new prosthetic arm. Despite Tai's concern over Ruby, he made no attempt to bring her home after Yang at the end of volume 4. This may indicate Tai's acceptance of Ruby's determination to pursue her goals or that he knows Qrow went after her and knows that he's watching out for her.

Taiyang has not been in direct contact with either Yang or Ruby since that time. With the destruction of the Beacon Academy CCT Tower it is hinted that he simply can't get into contact with them even if he wanted to. In volume 8 chapter 5 Ruby broadcasts her message to all of Remnant. Taiyang is shown to be watching her on the TV at their home with Zwei; when her broadcast was cut off abruptly, he yelled out "No, come back!", before burying his face in his hands in despair. This shows that he is still worried for his daughter's safety and still loves her deeply.

Fanon
While Taiyang and Ruby are father and daughter, there have been fans who treat Dragon Rose as a Het ship. For some, they feature them as non-related or ship them as incest. Then there are those who strongly prefer to keep Dragon Rose as a family ship, and hate the idea of pairing them romantically due to them being father and daughter. Regardless, most people can agree that the two have a healthy loving father and daughter relationship. It has a small fanbase on Tumblr.
