Pyrrha/Ruby, also known as Milk and Cereal and Pyrruby, is a RWBY femslash pairing involving Pyrrha Nikos and Ruby Rose.
Canon
Pyrrha and Ruby are schoolmate and friends. They are often seen hanging out together with their teams.
Upon witnessing Pyrrha's death during the battle of Beacon, Ruby unleashed the hidden power of her silver eyes for the first time.
Fandom
Pyrrha/Ruby is a rarepair that ended up gaining more popularity after Pyrrha's death. As many Pyrrha fans were unhappy about her fate in the show an AU was developed where Jaune died at Beacon instead of her. This was later used as the basis for many Pyrrha/Ruby fanworks.
Their first ship name, Milk and Cereal, comes from a line Ruby said in volume 1 - "I don't need people to help me grow up, I drink milk.", and the fact that Pyrrha was the face of Pumpkin Pete's cereal. After volume 3 Pyrruby was adopted on for ease of tagging/searching.
