Welcome!

And as much as I like to play the devil's advocate, I can only say that I agree with your analysis on the two working as a team and are dependent on each other (See the sequence on 'Buy me some time!'). Also in the, admittedly short, dialogues, they speak eye to eye, both taking initiatives - there is no obvious hierarchy.

Let's not forget that the whole RWBY story is about a team, so teamwork must come into it somehow. Four badass individualists will not work. Blake may be the first step, I wonder whether Yellow will further build on this.

I'm saying, or rather speculating, the latter because there is the basis of Yellow possibly symbolizing warmth, empathy, compassion - none of which we have seen so far a lot..

We'll seee...
