I honestly think that Pyrrha's desire to be Jaune's partner was little more than true altruistic behaviour. She's far too kind to ever leave someone like Jaune in the position he'd have been in had she not been there. It had to be her, no one else would have offered to train him, no one else would have used their aura to unlock his, no one else saved his else in the Emerald Forest and no one else would accept him as a leader despite being far greater in terms of everything.

You don't always need a reason to stand by someone, especially someone as desperately in need as Jaune was. The be all and end all could have been: Pyrrha's job will be to protect humanity and faunuskind, to help those who can't help themselves. A better of question is: Why is someone, especially a child prodigy that appears devout to becoming a huntress, NOT go out of their way to keep Jaune safe and alive?
