If you want a good example of someone who didn't really develop much as a character in the first three volumes, look at Ruby. Even the episodes which would have been good to show character development on (Badge and the Burden for example) were instead used to develop other characters like Weiss. Ruby was basically the same character with no real development for a good 3-4 seasons. And even then, it took her until late volume 6 to start asking questions about her own abilities, which were introduced almost 3 whole volumes ago.
