Ruby/Blake, also known as Ladybug, is a RWBY femslash pairing involving Ruby Rose and Blake Belladonna.
Canon
Ruby and Blake are friends and teammates. They 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 and the pair find common ground over their shared love of books.
Fandom
Ladybug is a rarer pairing in the RWBY fandom, though still somewhat common as it involves two of the 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. Fan often lament however that after the first season Blake and Ruby interact with each other the least out Team RWBY. Ladybug is often shipped alongside Freezerburn as Yang and Weiss are without their partners otherwise.
