Jaune was launched into the air into the Emerald Forest for initiation, but was fortunately saved by Pyrrha Nikos accurately throwing a spear in his direction. During the evening, Jaune witnessed Ruby and Weiss interacting, but did not get involved due to his shyness. After this discussion, Jaune accompanied Weiss to the opening speech by Headmaster Ozpin. Jaune confided that the Schnee's dust was the best in terms of purity and results, but not price. They conversed about his occupation, where Jaune mentioned he was a dust specialist in training rather than a swordsman. Jaune also interacted with Weiss Schnee, and was amazed when he encountered her. At some point before the Beacon semester began, dust prices increased due to robberies and supply shortages, must to Jaune's frustration.Īfter making it to Beacon, Jaune witnessed a dust explosion incident from Ruby Rose. Jaune gained experience over the next four years practicing his craft by mixing random dusts together to create explosions, and likely used his self-proclaimed title as a 'dust specialist' for admissions to Beacon Academy. Its not known how Jaune discovered dust, but he realized it was his best tool to place him on comparable footing with other hunters.

Jaune was disgruntled about his lack of aura or semblances, but shortly before he turned 13 in 4 BB, he considered a way to level the playing field against the Grimm using dust. According to Jaune, he had little outside of a large family, a large collection of crossdressing photos, and a driven dream to become a Hunter, inspired from his father's stories. Jaune Arc was born in 17 BB to Nicholas and Juniper Arc in Ansel, Vale. The Arc family had been well known but was less prominent in the modern era, to the point that Weiss could vaguely recognize the Arc name but needed additional research to confirm. Jaune Arc (17 BB -) is a main character in ' The Equalizer.' He learns to manipulate dust for combat purposes, and brings his skills to Beacon Academy.
