I don't think the simple soul is referring to Jaune, really. Simple soul is a reference to me of innocence and youth. Ruby so far has only done good- yeah, she's been a bit childish, but Jaune could well be breaking the LAW by sneaking into Beacon. I actually think Jaune's character is hinted in the monologue in the pilot- "There is no victory in strength." Jaune is not physically strong- but he is very smart, a very clever tactitian. I'm guessing Jaune is basically going to be the teacher of the series- not only will he be teaching by his mistakes, he will also be teaching due to his character- the all-important lesson that physical strength, mental strength and emotional strength are very seperate things. Because if anything, this series is showing that all the characters have trouble distinguishing the three, and as they go through Beacon, they will understand, and develop very strongly in all three areas. It could be that Jaune's determination, resourcefulness and maybe even his Aura took the notice of Ozpin, but to be honest, after the Jaunedice chapter I feel like Jaune is way more complicated then we could have imagined. Jaune has many reasons for wanting to be a Hunter- for his family, for his own pride, and to prove to people he isn't the lovable idiot we all thought he was. Ruby's motivation is clear and simple- she wants to protect people who can't protect themselves. It's this that makes me believe the song is referencing Ruby, not Jaune.
