I suspect that Juane, when the chips are down, is going to transform into a very competent fighter and shock Pyrrha and everyone else.

The goofy, socially awkward savant is a staple, and I'll grant Ruby is trying her darnedest to pull it off, but after her trailer, she just can't. Everyone knows she's competent (the audience). So she doesn't count for this trope. She's 'the over achieving kid' trope.

Juane will end up being the 'goofy until things get serious' trope guy. Because he would actually surprise the audience when he suddenly get's really really badass.
