secondary, as in NOT primary.

Just being a protagonist does not make you the "hero". Pyrrha, Ren, and Nora are a step below Jaune, Blake, Yang, and Weiss, who are a step below Ruby. She is the hero, with Jaune really being second only to her.

You then argue against yourself later by saying that JNPR is not as significant as RWBY.

Pyrrha is a protagonist, but no more significant of a character than Ozpin. I was trying to explain it best based off of how the entry in tvtropes reads. Sometimes, it is annoying as dicks to paraphrase.

Allow me to put it like this. JNPR are the other main characters. While RWBY is the titular team, major events are still going to surround JNPR as well, casting them into the spotlight. But due to the show mostly being in Ruby's PoV, you're less likely to see some of the members of JNPR as often as you are those of RWBY, sans Jaune who has a good realationship with Ruby.

Also, quote where in my post I said that JNPR is less significant than RWBY. I seem to be unable to find that line. Meanwhile, what I did point out is that JNPR is likely to have less screen time than the titular RWBY. We'll likely see plenty of JNPR in the future, but much more RWBY due to the PoV revolving around their team leader.

Now, again, lemme revisit the status of the characters:

RWBY-Protagonists      JNPR-Deuteragonists

Ozpin/CRDL/Glynda/Velvet/Others-Extra characters

See what I did there? I clearly outlined where each falls. A dueteragonist essentially IS more significant than a supporting/side character. Ozpin has had no major screen time yet, we barely know a thing about him, and yet you say Pyrrha is no more significant than he? Meanwhile, we know some of her background, know her fighting style, weapon, and abilities. And she's been around for a while in the last few episodes.

I believe this should just about cover it, huh? I hope this clarifies my point, and proves to you yours was a wasted effort in typing.
