There's no need to talk about Jaune's origins.

Jaune's character is very cliche. In every american, western, anime series. There's always a guy whose only purpose is for comedy since he is weak, cowardly and yet tries to act like a brawny womanizer.

For example: Ron Stoppable from Kim Possible series started as a useless and cowardly partner (much like Jaune and Pyhrra) but at the end of the series he defeated the last and most powerful enemy of the series and surpassed Kim (Pyhrra) in many ways.

And Naruto Uzumaki from the famous anime Naruto was a total loser and the lowest in class, he didn't even knew what chakra was (just like Jaune with the Aura). But just like any other anime protagonist of a +300 chapters manga, he trained hard and never gave up, now he's such a badass.

Also, remember that Monty Oum told the writers to watch some anime? One of those animes was Gurren Lagann. The protagonist of that Anime is a useless and weak little brat who, at the end of the series, became so powerful that the final fight was between him and a universe's sized enemy.

Everything says that Jaune's going to become a great leader just like Pyrrha said.
