Jaune Arc

Character from Volume 5 by Rooster Teeth

The boy who unlocked his Semblance saving Weiss's life. Jaune's Aura Amplification can supercharge the Aura of anyone he touches — the power to heal and protect that he wished he'd had when Pyrrha died.

Jaune's Semblance unlocks at the worst possible moment and the only moment that matters. Cinder drives a spear through Weiss's abdomen at Haven, and Weiss is dying, and Jaune puts his hands on her and something erupts from inside him — white light, warm and fierce, pouring his own Aura into hers, amplifying her body's ability to heal itself. Aura Amplification. The power to make other people stronger, to shore up their defenses, to pour himself out so others can survive. It's the most Jaune power imaginable — he was always the one who noticed when his teammates needed help. The cruel irony isn't lost on him. If he'd unlocked this at Beacon, Pyrrha might still be alive. He doesn't say it out loud. He doesn't have to. Everyone who knows him can read it on his face when he realizes what his Semblance does. Crocea Mors has been fully reforged with metal from Pyrrha's armor — the shield is larger, sturdier, and carries her bronze in its design. He trains with it relentlessly. He fights at Haven with a competence that would make his partner proud, and carries her memory not as a weight but as a standard. He still watches Pyrrha's training videos at night. That hasn't stopped.

Appearance

Tall and no longer lanky — filled out from months of real combat. Messy blonde hair, earnest blue eyes, and a face that has traded boyish surprise for something steadier. Wears a black hoodie under white chest armor with a gold arc emblem, blue jeans, and brown combat boots. A red sash — Pyrrha's — is tied around his waist. Crocea Mors has been reforged: the shield is expanded with metal from Pyrrha's armor, larger and sturdier, with her bronze circlet worked into the design.
