She has done very little so far that doesn’t involve Jaune in some way, which makes this pairing feel predetermined to me and majorly kills my interest in it. , because it lacks a certain amount of…buildup…I think is the word I’m looking for.

Until volume 2 turns out and Pyrrha gets a little more character building that DOESN’T involve tall, blond and scraggly, make me understand that she has a life and purpose outside of being a romantic interest, my emotions are unlikely to change…as dumb as they may seem.

I 110% agree with you. For all of volume 1, it feels that Pyrrha was thrown in there just to act as a love intrest for Jaune and kick some Grimm ass. That literally was ALL she did all volume. And I HATE it when characters are introduced like that. Hell, its even gotten to the point where I'm almost suspicous that Arkos WON'T happen it's shipped so much. It's starting to feel alot like Nick and Lindsay's relationship from "Freaks and Geeks". They had PLENTY of shipping moments with their interactions and admitted to liking each other, but when they finally became a couple, things didn't work out and they split. I'm getting suspicous that this is what's to become of Arkos in the end.

It's not that I DON'T like Pyrrha, I do. But I want her to develop and grow in ways that Jaune ISN'T involved. If all of her development is centered around Jaune, I'll be very disapointed.
