To be honest, I think RenxNora was designed/planned by Miles and Kerry. After all, Monty didn't really come up with much about Nora and Ren. He simply told Miles and Kerry that "Nora is a powerful woman" and "Ren is an honorable warrior" and told them to come up with the rest. The start of them figuring out Ren and Nora's personalities came when they were trying to figure out how the Volume 1 initiation arc should go and decided "Nora is a morning person, Ren is not", which then turned into "Nora has a lot of energy, Ren does not" and things went from there.

Now that I think about it, perhaps that is why Nora and Ren were in the background for much of Volumes 1 and 2 and started coming forward a little more in Volume 3 and then finally had their big spotlight in Volume 4. To be fair, JNPR originally wasn't planned to be on the same level as Team RWBY in importance. They were going to be side characters. But then Monty, Miles, and Kerry liked them so much that they promoted them.
