Rosey Sky is the het ship between Ruby Rose and Sky Lark from the RWBY fandom.

Canon[]

Ruby Rose is the main protagonist from a divisive web show named RWBY while Sky Lark is a voiceless background character of the same show Ruby is from. As this was initially started as a crack-ship, these two have never met each other.

There is absolutely no known character traits for Sky Lark within the show except for the fact that he is a bully. Another small detail to his character is from the creators early on who named him Sky Lark as a sort of hint of his personality to be similar to the phrase 'skylarking' meaning to be a trickster or a clown.[1]

It is debatable whether Ruby Rose would hate Sky Lark or like his presence as they have never interacted.

Ruby Rose's personality also has changed a lot throughout the show's run (as many would consider it a negative factor to the show's dwindling admiration). Ruby within Volume 1 up to Volume 2, was a very nerdy, socially awkward, and bubbly girl. This version of Ruby Rose is what people ship with Sky. This technically means, that the modern day Ruby is not at all being shipped with the fanon version of Sky, but instead it is her early pre-Volume 3 personality.

Fanon[]

Rosey Sky was an extremely rarepair within the RWBY fandom since it's creation. As the show went on, many fans became divided on how the show should be ran and if it was even good to begin with any more. These divisive opinions, became much worse as the years passed. Because of the massive contrast of fans and as some fans have coined, "hatedom", it was a matter of time that some former RWBY fans decided to create a troll community to which basically was made to offend modern RWBY fans. This community became known as Cardinposting. It was a community that ironically praised a bully character in the show who became long forgotten ever since the first volume. The character is basically seen as a meme character as he has no further lore behind him except for the simple fact that he appeared in the first volume and some other minor miscellaneous products. This character's name was Cardin Winchester and he also had a team in the show's canon. The team of Cardin's was known as Team CRDL and one of those members was Sky Lark.

As the community grew, they started to also make memes and fond over the rest of Team CRDL instead of just Cardin alone. This is when Sky Lark started becoming more popular even though he never had a speaking line in the show's canon. Sky Lark as Cardinposting fans would interpret him as, was depicted as a very weird, chaotic, childish, and crazy character. He was the wild card of Team CRDL. Over time, they even noticed and remembered about Sky's name which as stated above, was a nod to his personality being that of a energetic funny troll. This further expended his admiration and character traits and over time, Sky Lark became a much more beloved character within the community, on par with Cardin himself.

When it came to shipping, Sky Lark was originally shipped with Penny Polendina as a joke and nod to them both fighting each other in Volume 3. As time went on, Sky and Penny became a very prominent joke within the community but things changed when people realized that paring both characters with Ruby and creating a trio would make for a very fun concept.[2]

This is how the paring of Sky and Ruby began but not where the ship fully started. As time went on, hardcore rewrite writers of RWBY thought that Ruby and Sky would actually make a very good couple once they realized that Penny technically dies in Volume 3 and 8. This with the fact that Ruby was depicted in her pre-Volume 3 personality with her very innocent, bubbly, and shy traits, further gave inspirations of hooking these two characters together.

As of currently, Sky and Ruby are seen as a comedy duo (similar in dynamic to Miria & Isaac from the light novel series, Baccano!) But they also work as symbolic foils to one another as Sky and Ruby are a chaotic duo except Sky is the rude and more sarcastic one while Ruby is depicted as the kind and more naïve one. They both are depicted as very innocent with each other and are seen like puppy dog lovers. Currently overall, Rosey Sky is seen as the most wholesome pairing within the community even though Sky is the least wholesome character overall in an ironic manner.

Trivia[]

  • It's heavily hinted and joked around within the Cardinposting community that Sky and Ruby have some sort of neurodevelopmental disorder.
    • For Sky's case, it's commonly theorized that he has ASD (Autism Spectrum Disorder) in the Cardinposting lore.
  • Both Sky and Ruby's color scheme are total opposites which furthers the shipping fuel.
