Creators Pet would be a better description.

Eh, I’m not even sure I’d call him that. I just see him as the secondary protagonist to Ruby being the primary, with their teams being supporting protagonists. I’m not sure if they’ve ever talked about it but I just assume him being voiced by one of the writers is more just because basically everyone early on was voiced by people they already had in the office.

Jaune in early seasons could be viewed as an “audience insert” to slowly introduce the viewers into the rules and worldbuilding of the show, but the entirety of the promotional material focused on Team RWBY as the protagonists and very clearly showed Team JNPR as secondary protagonists. And yet nearly 1/3 of Volume 1 puts Jaune as the lead and many fans were a little upset by that. The fact that he was voiced by one of the writers (neither of which had any experience writing), and was written very similar to how other shows would write main male protagonist, gives off the impression that he was supposed to be a main character when he very much was not. Hence why he’s being brought up in this trope.

The secondary protagonist should be Weiss, Blake and Yang
