See, I've never really delved much into the shipping aspect with OCs, moreso with actual canon characters and crackships. But, if I were to say anything wto romantic interests, team UMBR (which I formed during the February Comp. hosted by Ark) has it down...err, sorta.

The closest thing to any relationships that I've fleshed out between two to three of the students on the team aren't even technically things, considering the former of the two pairings was driven apart due to a difference in sexuality between Ugné and Brooke, and the other dynamic--which is between Ugné and Rino--is a bit similar to that of Jaune and Pyrrha.

Ugné is the Pyrrha of the two, as he's the more masculine and/or powerful character who wants to have his insecurities [with his sexuality, specifically] fixed or validated by engaging in a meaningful relationship with his crush Rino, who is like Jaune in that he is clueless to romantic advances, but he's extremely hard to read, which makes him more attractive. [If you want I could cover this slightly more in depth, but as of now I think this is enough so that you can get a general gist and at the same time me not make a huge text wall.]

As Phantom mentioned earlier, most of my canon shippings for characters are people who are or were married and had focus characters for kids. Some examples:

Let's see...Brandon Airgetlámh's parents, Sienna and Mr. Airgetlámh were a thing, then divorced after having Brandon, and Sienna refuses to tell Brandon anything about them, even his father's name, even after 28 years. And because of the bad vibes, Sienna is now a drinker and smoker. Depressing, no?

Luna Primula's parents are alive but don't have names, Samantha Blodwen's parents too (and have a decent relationship I haven't yet explored, they run the family business together), and Margarita Redwood's parents died in a Grimm attack.

There's more but I'll post it after other people put stuff here, or at least 8 hours pass.
