I'm saying he'd hate her for admiring Cinder, the woman who killed Pyrrha. If Emerald ever abandons her admiration, Jaune would have no reason to hate her. By that point Emerald would want to join the good side, but will need to earn trust. I imagine circumstances will make Jaune the first to trust her, probably on a "stuck with you" mission where they have to rely on each other to get out alive.

I don't see Team RNJR becoming brutal and pessimistic, even after all that's happened. They are only where they are because they're still clinging to hope, that's why Salem wants them dead.
