Ok if team R/WBY is Ruby (red), and team JNPR is Juniper (as in juniper berries, which are blue) then together they're the red team and the blue team. If Jaune is the leader of the blue team then that makes him Church. And Church was my favourite character in RVB. Which makes sense because Jaune is my favourite character. And irjgriodgjdigjdi this is just a joke.

That means Ruby is Sarge.

#someone has already said this at some point I know it #but it does personally amuse me #church was my favourite as in alpha #he's a bit sillier #you know what's funny is that there are superficial similarities between carolina and pyrrha #incl. the same voice actress #yet carolina is really up there as a character I enjoy yet pyrrha isn't #I think it's probably because carolina can literally never be perfect and is never recognised as such but tries anyway and kills herself #trying. and the whole idea of failure is threaded through the story because RVB is fundamentally silly #the protagonists are silly #and you can write a redemption arc for a character like carolina but with pyrrha you really can't without losing the meaning that needs to #to be conveyed #wouldn't call it a redemption arc for pyrrha but at the fall of beacon she has to fail in some way #either dying or breaking her huntress identity #and in that case she would effectively be written out of the story until they return to vale #but the effect of her death is exactly what's needed #particularly for the symbolic death of ideas #I kind of wonder how a 'failed huntress' pyrrha would've actually gone down with the audience #because I think people who don't get the character deaths would've taken the exact same issue with such a character arc
