We do really need to get some time with Pyrrha alone. Her interesting and likely dynamic character could be ruined if it turns out she exists only to further Jaune's Arc. While I agree with most of the people here on the wiki that their relationship is highly important and interesting, as long as we don't know much about Pyrrha's backstory and motives, she walks an oddly thin line between being essential and becoming a tired cliche.

The "girlfriend that trains, supports, and loves Jaune for who he is" role could be filled by literally any of his fellow students. Ruby could act as we've seen her act in their current relationship. Weiss could offer Jaune a chance to be the hero, and save her from the terrible home life we're all assuming that she's had. Blake could offer him a new take on life, with the whole being-almost-the-opposite-person thing. Yang could be strong, be a leader, inspire and train Jaune (much like what Pyrrha is shaping up to do). My point is, however unlikely the ship is, every girl in the show could help Jaune in their own way.

While I don't expect and am honestly indefferent to RubyxJaune, I still consider it a possibility, and would prefer it if Pyrrha's character turns out to be flat and uninteresting.
