Also, notice just how perfectly Jaune, Pyrrha, and Ruby fit into the descriptions given of the Hero, Love Interest, and Not-Love Interest. I honestly think you're mixing up who the hell is the Hero, Love Interest, and Not-Love Interest here. In order, it would be Ruby, Jaune, Pyrrha. Again, this is going by the theory that Pyrrha's interest in Jaune doesn't make them the end game couple, but rather that Ruby and Jaune will en up together, to which there is no evidence to the contrary of such a possiblity coming to fruition. Obviously for the show as a whole, Ruby is the Hero. But that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that from Jaune's point of view (since that will be the deciding factor, assuming Ruby and Pyrrha are both interested), he is the person that the others' archetypes will fall into place around. That means that while he isn't the central focus of the show, he is the central person with regards to this romance, making him "the Hero."

Furthermore, if Ruby is the Hero, the trope stops making sense when you encounter Pyrrha. Pyrrha isn't a character that meets all the requirements to be Ruby's Love Interest, but isn't.
