RNJR(core concept, not the characters) probably was a thing before the series started though... Note the creators said they had a reason for the "B" team before they had individual characters... thus we can infer the core storyline always involved the group splitting and Ruby chumming around with them for a long while... in other words, the sacrifice of Pyrrha predates Pyrrha and Jaune... Jaune is not the reason Pyrrha died... RWBY is.
