Toxic Petals

Toxic Petals is the het ship between Tyrian Callows and Ruby Rose from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
In volume 4, Salem tells Tyrian to hunt Ruby down. This greatly excites Tyrian as he becomes gleeful at the thought. He tells Cinder that he plans to take one of her eyes in retaliation for Ruby taking one of hers. He then seems dissapointed when Salem tells him to bring Ruby to her alive. But in the end he obeys her.

Tyrian is then seen tracking them down to Oniyuri. When Tyrian finally meets Team RNJR, he declares his purpose to whisk her away with him, and calling her his little flower. He then tells her he'll take her by force if need be. Once he depletes her Aura, he attempts to incapacitate her with his tail before Qrow shows up and saves her.

He then proceeds to fight Qrow. Qrow tries to keep Ruby out of the fight but Ruby manages to help him in the fight near the end. The battle then concludes when Ruby manages to cut off Tyrian's stinger after Qrow is struck with it. This causes Tyrian to scream out in pain and calls her a bitch. He then retreats back to Salem. The next time the two see each other is in volume 7 briefly when he sabotages robyn's party and kills a bunch of innocent civilians.

Fanon
Toxic Petals is a rarepair in the rwby fandom. Mainly because of the age gap between the two, the fact that they're enemies and the fact that tyrian might be in love with Salem. People have compared tyrian to the yandere trope for tyrian to ruby. Or even the crazy stalker ex boyfriend trope. Fans are hoping fo a rematch between the two eventually.
