ReNora

ReNora is the het ship between Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
Ren and Nora are childhood friends who met when Ren after Ren saw Nora getting bullied for having stolen bread. Ren finds Nora during attack on Kuroyuri and helps keep her calm so he can hide them both from the Grimm. With both their families seemingly gone the two have stayed together right up to their enrollment at Beacon.

They become partners at Beacon and are a part of Team JNPR. While at Beacon it is clear that Nora has developed feelings for Ren but is quick to dismiss any idea of them being "together-together". However, she still becomes flustered when their relationship is mistaken for romantic.

After the fall of Beacon they join Ruby in her journey to to Mistral, in which they spends several months debating on a team name for their new group. During their travels, Ren and Nora become aware that the Nuckelavee, a Grimm that attacked Ren's home and killed his parents, is in the area. Later when Nora and Ren break off from the rest of the team to help find aid for a poisoned Qrow, Nora comforts Ren and agrees that they have always taken care of each other.

During the battle against the Nuckelavee, Nora slaps some sense into Ren as he recklessly tries to attack the Grimm, shedding tears as she tells him that she will not let him get himself killed. Ren composes himself, and the two defeat the beast with the help of Ruby and Jaune. After the battle while on an airship to Mistral, Ren reaches out to hold Nora's hand, surprising her. She then moves closer and rests her head on his shoulder.

In Volume 6, while Ren destroys the shield generator on Caroline Cordovin's mecha, Nora fires a volley of grenades at her, crying out, "You get back here with my man!". Together, along with the rest of the group, they succeed in temporarily taking down Cordovin's mecha.

In Volume 7, Ren and Nora have a small argument over their responsibilities. This argument is resolved with a kiss.

Fanon
ReNora has always been a well-liked ship within the RWBY fandom. While Nora's feeling for Ren were fairly obvious from the start, the ship became more popular following the release of "Boop", a song from Nora's perspective with the lyrics - "When I wanna say "I love you" I'll say Boop".

Its fans only grew after the ship seemed to go canon in Volume 4. However, while not decreasing the ship's popularity, fans grew frustrated after Volume 5 and most of Volume 6 not containing any references to the ship, throwing its status as canon into question.
