Baked Alaska

Baked Alaska is the femslash ship between Yang Xiao Long and Neo Politan from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
Yang and Neo's first meeting quickly turns into a fight as Yang tries to keep Neo busy while the rest of her team attempt to stop the train they're on. The fight ends up being somewhat one-sided, with Neo toying with Yang in the midst of combat. Yang's temper came out in reaction to this and Neo used it to her advantage. After the battle ended, Neo gave a sadistic smile as she prepared to kill Yang. However, before she can, Raven Branwen appears, prompting Neo to flee.

Fanon
Although the two have only interacted in one fight, Baked Alaska quickly became a popular ship within the fandom. Part of this was thanks to Neo being the ensemble darkhorse of volume 2 and her most significant fight being with Yang. Fans have been eager to see a rematch ever since and remain hopeful of one coming ever since Neo's return to the story in volume 6.

Baked Alaska shippers sometimes use the yandere trope for Neo as an explanation as to how a couple could form out of the pair when their only interaction ended in near murder. Fans have also been drawn to the extreme height difference between the two, which was highlighted upon their first meeting.

The ship name, Baked Alaska, comes from the dessert that involves baking ice cream. Neo being the ice cream and Yang being the flame used to bake it.
