I'd be very interested to read a (decently written, non ship-focussed) fanfiction where Ruby comes across Jaune before Weiss does and the two end up working together.

Ruby is a totally different personality type from Pyrrha and I don't think she's hesiate to stamp all over Jaune's self image very quickly if she thought he needed her help. Pyrrha is doing this the kind, gentle and slow way. Ruby, as we saw in Forever Fall, is the sort of person who'll bluntly tell a subordinate that they need to suck it up and get over themselves. She's supportive but she doesn't baby people.

There is the obvious and funny secondary plot thread of Pyrrha arriving to find Weiss watching Ruby drag a protesting Jaune away; the two end up as the other pair. Something tells me that Weiss's arrogance and ambition would soon have them arguing just as badly as Ruby and Weiss ever did.

I think this would lead to a lot more extrovert Ruby and a Jaune who is probably got the basic skills now but is a lot less certain of himself because of the way Ruby's strong personality would dominate him.
