All I can think is Naruto. Blonde hair, blue eyes, both have a large amount of Aura/Chakra (though obviously for different reasons), and both are kind of untrained/weak compared to their teammates initially but grow stronger over time.

I know, they're not direct parallels. Naruto has a lot of loneliness to deal with and feelings of being unloved from being alone from a young child that Jaune doesn't have. But the base outline of the two characters is somewhat similar enough to remind me of him.
