Candy Cane is the het ship between Nora Valkyrie and Oscar Pine from the RWBY fandom.
Canon[]
In volume 5 chapter 3, Oscar first enters the room the group are staying in and asks if Ruby Rose is there. Nora immediately glares and her body noticeably stiffens, asking him why did he needed to know that. It is then cleared up by Qrow that Oscar is harmless and is with him. Nora then becomes utterly fascinated by Oscar as Ozpin's new host, and keeps gushing over him. She even at one point referred to him as cute boy Ozpin. Ozpin greatly disapproves of that, though, and asks her to please not call him that.
Once they make it to Argus the first thing Nora does when she sees the others is run up to Oscar yelling out "Cute boy Oz!". She then proceeds to tackle hug him to the ground. In the next chapter Nora is shocked to see Jaune being so aggressive with Oscar and accusing him of not being who he says he is. In volume 8 when Oscar is finally reunited with everyone Nora walks up to him. Oscar fearing she was going to tackle glomp him again, closes his eyes and puts his arms out bracing for impact. But instead she gives him a soft, gentle hug. Oscar is shocked by this but seems relieved and gladly hugs her back.

Fanon[]
Candy Cane is a rarepair in the RWBY fandom, this is mainly because of the more popular ships like ReNora and Rose Garden. Given the age gap between the two some prefer to think of the two as having more of a sibling-like relationship rather than a romantic one. Some fans were also happy with a hug the two shared in volume 8. It has a small fanbase on Tumblr. Shippers enjoy the differences in their personalities, with Oscar being shy while Nora is overly-energetic. They share some personality parallels with the much more popular ship, ReNora.
There are currently over 30 gen pairings for this ship on AO3. It is less popular as a romantic relationship, with under 10 works.
