Jaune's Relationships with Team RWBY of Blake Belladonna and Yang Xiao Long: They maintain a friendly, casual school dynamic. Jaune interacts with them mostly during group events (like the dance arc in Volume 2 or meal scenes), though they share fewer deep individual arcs during these specific volumes.

Jaune's Relationships with Team JNPR of Pyrrha Nikos: Pyrrha discovers Jaune's fake transcripts but chooses to help him train instead of exposing him.

Over time, his respect for Pyrrha grows immensely, culminating in a tragic bond when she dies at the end of Volume 3.
