Derevieve is the het ship between Derek and Princess Genevieve from the Barbie fandom.

Canon
At the beginning of the film, Dark came to King Randolph's castle to give dancing shoes to each of the king's 12 daughters, including Genevieve. Before Derek gave Genevieve the shoes, his parrot Felix joked that he worked every night thinking about her, to which Derek got angry and said that he was just talking nonsense. Felix teased Derek again saying he had missed his "opportunity" with Genevieve, so he took out a flute for Derek to play for them. When Genevieve saw the flute she asked if she knew how to play, to which Derek said no until the smallest princesses asked him to play. He started playing and all the princesses, including Genevieve, danced to his music.

That night, Fallon teased Genevieve by telling her if she liked the shoes or if she just liked Derek. Ashlynn later mentioned that even though he was attractive, he's not a prince, and Genevieve confessed if she doesn't mind that he's royal. Genevieve's sisters kept pestering her as she repeatedly said that she didn't like Derek, and even if she did, he would never notice her.

A few days later, when the princesses' slippers wore out, Derek returned with new shoes, and Genevieve explained that they had been dancing all night, without telling him where. Then Genevieve told Derek that she saw Rowena giving something to a man, Fabian, and to investigate who he is and what they are doing because she doesn't trust Rowena. Deek found out that Fabian is an Apothecary, and while he didn't find out what he gave Rowena, he did find out that she gave him a cup with Queen Isabella's name on it in return. Derek gave his horse in exchange to get the cup and show Genevieve what he discovered. When he went to see Genevieve, he learned that the princesses had disappeared and were said to have escaped, leaving him baffled. Derek decided to infiltrate the castle to look for the princesses, and he was able to enter because he noticed that each of the twelve stones on the floor represented the flower of each princess, and he danced on them.

Derek eventually met Genevieve in the wizarding world and told her that Rowena had sold her mother's cup. Felix also mentioned that Derek sold his horse to get the cup back and Genevieve sarcastically asked if he made that up too. When Rowena destroyed the stones in the room so they wouldn't come back, the princesses and Derek tried to dance out on the stones of the wizarding world, and it seemed they couldn't until Derek and Genevieve stepped on a stone together and it started to glow. So the two realized that they had to dance as a couple to go out and the two danced together, flying to the exit.

When they escaped, Derek and Genevieve went together to King Randolph's room and fought together against living knight armor created by Rowena. At the end of the movie, Derek and Genevieve celebrate their wedding and dance together, along with the other princesses and Randolph.
