Talk:Jaune Arc/@comment-10390252-20130823090934

Okay, this pretty much closes the case. There is something wrong with Jaune. He doesn't know about his Aura, something that Pyrrha implies is such key and intrinsic part of being a Huntsman that it never even occured to her to ask him about it before. Most importantly, he had not armed up. Think about it: They're in what they have been told is a "hot" combat zone surrounded by unidentified but apparently lethal hostiles. What would any warrior do? Hell, what would a soldier fresh out of Basic do? Why hadn't Jaune drawn hs sword and equipped his shield?

I'm sure if a Grim had lunged out of the forest at Pyrrha, he would have attempted to tackle it with his bare hands. He simply gives no impression of being comfortable with his weapons at all. He doesn't seem to even think in the same way the others do.

The simple fact is that Jaune doesn't seem to have the instincts or knowledge to suggest he has had any of the basic training that all the others have, even Ruby who has jumped two years of training to attend Beacon. This gives weight to my theory that his application was submitted by ambitious relatives and that he has attending out of his personal sense of honour and duty.

This might be a character driver for a while - he's going to be bitterly resentful that he isn't this engine of destruction like the others and that, most of the time, the girls have to protect him when his sense of honour says that the opposite should be true.
