I know this thread is a bit old, but I must get this off my chest.

Never start a series with main character development. The main characters are the main interest of the story. To remove all their mystery at the very start is to remove the interest. I have written many stories, and I never focus on main characters right off the bat. That just does not work. If we focus on our mains too soon, then what do we do for the rest of the story? The only thing we can do at that point is to jump the shark and hope it works.

Also, as a side note. Yes, Jaune got four episodes while Blake only got two, technically. But Blake's episodes took up more time. Jaune got something like 20 minutes of character development, while Blake got closer to thirty. Also, even the secondary character development still manages to seamlessly involve Ruby. Not every single episode focuses on Ruby, sure; but if that were the case, material for the show would rapidly run out.

In addition to this, Rooster Teeth is only starting to figure out what they are even doing with RWBY. If they make a big mistake in minor character development, it will cause problems. If they make a small mistake in main character development, it can bring the show down. That said, so far they have managed not to make any real mistakes. That impresses me as a writer.

Honestly, I think you are mostly just impatient to know more, which only speaks for the show's quality. Give them time. You will learn more about the main characters when Monty sees fit. "You will learn, truth is given by God to us all in our time: in our turn." (Les Miserables)
