BabsRae

BabsRae is the femslash ship between Barbara Gordon and Rachel Roth from the DC Comics and DC Super Hero Girls fandoms.

Canon
Barbara and Raven have never really interacted, but are allies by both being friends with the same superheroes. Barbara is the daughter of Commisioner Gordon, who grew up and became the Superhero Batgirl. After and accident, she became paralyzed and took on the moniker of Oracle. Providing support for other heroes. Raven is the half demon daughter of Trigon, who was destined to destroy the world. She went against that destiny however, and ultimately became a hero, using her powers for good.

DC Super Hero Girls
In the 2015 web series Babs and Raven are students at Superhero High School, where they are learning to become heroes. Raven originally started off being home schooled for evil by her father, until she decided to see the human world for herself and got mistaken for a hero by Batgirl and the others. For using her powers to hold up the buildings her lessons were causing to fall. Along with Raven helping Batgirl and her friends to get Trigon out of the city, before he can cause more damage. Raven was willing to return with him, but Trigon seeing his daughter master her magic with the hero girls got him to allow her to attend Super Hero High. Batgirl was pleased by this as it meant that their new friend can stay and will be seeing more of her at the school.

Fanon
BabsRae is a very small pairing in the DC fandom. This is due to them having little to no shared time together. Raven is always on the Teen Titans and Babs splits her time between the Batfamily and the Birds of Prey. Meaning that the two have very little time to crossover with each other. Aside from the possibility of the two meeting through Dick Grayson. There is a decent following among Raven x Batfamily shippers though. As most of the shippers believe she works with a majority of the batfam. There are a small amount of shippers who depict them in Bubbline AU's. Although Babs aesthetic doesn't entirely match that of Bubblegum's making it an AU that needs a lot of effort to work. There is a trend of drawing the two in each other's superhero outfits, both of which tend to work on the other due to their costumes having similar aesthetics sometimes.

Some like the pairing as Babs was a librarian early on in comics and in some adaptations. While a lot of Titans media depicts Raven as an avid reader. Many liking the idea of a librarian and a bookworm being together.

On AO3, BabsRae has 6+ femslash fanfics and 1+ gen fics.
