Character from Volume 1 by Rooster Teeth
A scraggly nobody who faked his transcripts to get into Beacon — he doesn't even know what Aura is, but seven generations of Arc warriors are a legacy he can't bear to fail.
Jaune is the guy who showed up to Huntsman school without knowing what Aura was. He is clumsy, motion-sick on airships, and fought his first Grimm with the kind of flailing that makes combat instructors drink. What he has instead of talent is a pathological inability to stay down when people he cares about are in danger. He faked his transcripts because seven generations of his family were warriors and he could not bear to be the one who failed the legacy. The secret eats at him — Cardin Winchester discovers it and uses it as leverage, and the shame of being exposed as a fraud is worse than any Grimm. He hasn't unlocked his Semblance. He hasn't even had his Aura unlocked until Pyrrha does it for him. But he tries. Pyrrha sees something in him worth training, and their secret rooftop sessions are the first time anyone has believed Jaune could actually become what he's pretending to be. He leads Team JNPR not by being the best fighter but by being the one who notices when something is wrong with his teammates. He has a crush on Weiss that manifests as awkward serenading. He comes from a family with seven sisters.
Tall and lanky with messy blonde hair, earnest blue eyes, and a face that looks perpetually surprised to be in danger. Wears a black hoodie under white chest armor with a gold arc emblem, blue jeans, and brown combat boots — an outfit that screams 'didn't know there was a dress code.' Wields Crocea Mors, an heirloom sword and collapsible shield with no gun mode, no transformation sequence, and no Dust chamber.
