Ladybug

Ladybug is the femslash ship between Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna from the RWBY fandom.

Canon
Ruby and Blake first meet at Beacon where Blake intervenes to stop Weiss auguring with Ruby. Despite helping out, Blake shows indifference to her as she is already walking away when Ruby tries to make conversation with her. Later, Yang pulls Ruby over to Blake to try and get them to speak to each other. Initially, this fails as Blake says she wanted to be alone to read her book, but the two find common ground over their shared love of books.

In the Emerald Forest when Ruby is looking for Yang to partner with her, she muses to herself about how Blake would be a good alternative, but that she might find it hard to socialize with.

After it is revealed that Blake is a Faunus, Ruby tried to help her but was unable when she quickly ran out of the room. According to Ruby, she and Blake are already friends, as both already get along, although she is still quiet. Ruby also notes on how Blake's cat ears are cute.

After the Battle of Beacon, Ruby is saddened by the fact that Blake ran away after the battle. Although Ruby believes that Blake might have had a good reason for running away, contrary to what Yang believes.

While they are split up, Blake notes that she thinks of her teammates all the time, though her guilt at the time makes her hope they hate her for running. She describes Ruby as being the embodiment of purity.

Fanon
Ladybug is a rarer pairing in the RWBY fandom, though still somewhat common as it involves two of show's main characters. Interest first began after the two were shown to have a shared interest in books and a similar sense of justice. It is often shipped alongside Freezerburn as Yang and Weiss are without their partners otherwise.
