I find it interesting that almost every name proposed so far has been patrilineal. What makes us so sure that children in RWBY take the surname of their father?

Anyway...I'm going to try posting my concepts a few hours apart from each other, let people assess them one at a time without having a wall of text to go through.

Ruby + Jaune: Autumn Rose

Autumn is small and light like Ruby, but she looks more like Jaune, disheveled and unkempt. Like both her parents she's a bit insecure, but forgets her doubts in the heat of battle and has a knack for leadership. Her combat style is like a leaf blowing in the wind, with lots of gliding and twirling; she's not as fast as Ruby, but makes up for it in agility. Her weapon of choice is an odachi with a Dust-powered wind attack, a skill she picked up from her Aunt Weiss.

The name "Autumn" is an allusion to Summer Rose, operating on the assumption that was the name of Ruby's mother. Naturally, her theme color is orange.
