The thousands of years of abandonment, the Cat's own insatiable curiosity, and Alyx's perceived betrayal eventually transformed them from a sweet, compassionate creature who was happy to heal wayward souls into a bitter, selfish and sadistic monster who was unable to think of anything but their desperate need to get to Remnant and their hatred of humans. It's also heavily implied (via PsychologicalProjection) that the Cat [[TorturedMonster knows they're broken]] but cannot do anything about it.

This is the fourth acre that Team RWBY encounters.
Added DiffLines:
* BeCarefulWhatYouWishFor: Being trapped in the Ever After alone for years transforms him into the Rusted Knight, a fairy tale hero from one of Remnant's most beloved children's stories. However, he learns the truth behind the fairy tale is deeply unpleasant; Alyx is a selfish person who becomes increasingly paranoid and cruel over time, betraying both Jaune's misguided and clumsy attempts to help her and possibly her own brother in her quest to get back home. Bitter, jaded, and burned out, Jaune's a KnightInSourArmor who believes he can't even make it as a make-believe hero, never mind a real one.
* BlamingTheVictim: Ruby suffers flashbacks and hallucinations while fighting with Neo's Jabberwalkers, prompting her companions to focus on her as well as the Paper Pleasers to Ascend. As Ruby asks why no one's considering her feelings and refers to the Paper Pleasers as Jaune's "make-believe friends", a frustrated Jaune calls out Ruby for their deaths because Neo's been searching for Ruby along with the chain of events which led them to the Ever After. Even as he realises what he's done seconds later, it's too late to take it back.
* HeroicWannabe: After falling into the Ever After, Jaune unintentionally holds the Paper Pleasers hostage for years just to experience the cheap thrill of saving lives, sabotaging his and Team RWBY's efforts to return to Remnant because of his misplaced fears of the Ever Tree. Seeing the Paper Pleasers' reincarnated forms making a beautiful sculpture out of the water that destroyed their previous forms makes him realise his selfishness. Weiss tells him even the greatest heroes fail; he should just accept he's a brave and good person who tries his best. With Jaune finally accepting the truth, the heroes travel to the Tree and locate Ruby; once he's exposed to the Tree's hallucinogenic smoke, an image of Alyx -- whom he unsuccessfully tried to help as the Rusted Knight -- tells him he needs to be himself and try his best if he wants to become a true hero. By accepting what everyone's been telling him about his unheroic behaviour, he begins to grow out of the trope.
* HeroicWillpower: Despite everything that happened to him, the Knight never lost faith and kept steadfastly protecting others no matter what. It's implied this is what prompted the Curious Cat's animosity with him, as Jaune's willpower never broke waiting to reunite with Team RWBY for ''decades'', forcing the Cat to try for other hosts instead.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: His battle steed is a large white jackalope with huge brass-coloured antlers and golden eyes.
* ImageSong: Jaune gets his first image song in Volume 9, "[[https://youtu.be/pCu43dnxIVM Quiet]]". A meditation on his failures and years of suffering in the Ever After as the Rusted Knight, it plays in a stripped-down, instrumental version as he and WBY behold the return of the Paper Pleasers as the Genial Gems and have an epiphany about the true purpose of the Tree.
* KnightInShiningArmor: A {{subverted|Trope}} example. The Rusted Knight of the Ever After is portrayed in the fairy tale "The Girl Who Fell Through the World" as the one who protects the realm, helps Alyx get home, and takes the poison that was meant for her. However, the truth is that the Rusted Knight is really Jaune, who is trapped in the realm for decades and becomes a HeroicWannabe, desperately trying to protect the Paper Pleasers from themselves, preventing them from Ascending like they're supposed to, and thereby accidentally becoming the "villain" of the Origami Acre when he thinks he's being the hero.
* LongList: The daily tasks the Rusted Knight appoints himself to for protecting the paper pleasers from themselves is made up of four sheets of paper taped together to keep track of everything.
* LoyalAnimalCompanion: Juniper is devoted to Jaune, having acted as his battle partner and his only friend during his time alone. She catches Jaune after the Cat attacks him, and when his Aura breaks she protects him. It's mutual, as Jaune tells Somewhat that "she means the world to me" and makes Somewhat promise to take care of her when he leaves.
* MeaningfulName: The jackalope's name is extremely important to the Rusted Knight's past. Jaune named it Juniper in memory of Team JNPR.
* MixAndMatchCritters: Juniper has the face, ears, and paws of a rabbit and the antlers, tail, and general body shape of a deer. She also acts like a horse and even makes a few horse-like whinnies.
* OhCrap: After sleeping in the following day after finding Team RWBY, the Rusted Knight bolts awake by the sound of an explosion, frantically shouting "I'm late!" as he rushes to arm himself and stop the frequently recurring disasters of his village.
* PassingTheTorch: When Jaune goes back to Remnant, he gives Juniper to Somewhat, who will implicitly take up his former role as the protector of the Ever After.
* TheSlowPath: Jaune's situation means he has to wait a very long time to be reunited with Team RWBY; this is unlike their experience, where they reunite very quickly after being separated. After landing last in the Ever After, Jaune finds a tree that grows clocks. [[AccidentalTimeTravel Picking one]] forces him to travel backwards in time until he destroys the clock. With no way of knowing how to return to his original time, Jaune has to live there for decades until Team RWBY arrives. In the process, he meets Alyx and discovers he's the Rusted Knight in the very fairy tale he (and the rest of Remnant) read as a child. The Curious Cat implies to Ruby and Weiss that the stress, loneliness, and betrayal he's experienced in the Ever After has [[SanitySlippage done a number]] on his mental health.
* TakingTheBullet: It is said in the fairy tale that "the Rusted Knight drank the poison in [Alyx's] stead". The truth is darker; thinking that Jaune (who was trying to keep things on track with ''The Girl who Fell Through the World'') was keeping her from leaving the Ever After, Alyx poisoned him and left him to die.
* WreckedWeapon: The Rusted Knight is named for his rusted armor and weaponry. His sword, Crocea Mors, is still broken from Cinder's attack at the end of Volume 8.

!!The Origami Acre
This Acre is the home of the Paper Pleasers and Jaune Arc during his time in the Ever After.
This is the fourth acre that Team RWBY encounters.
----
* BlamingTheVictim: Ruby suffers flashbacks and hallucinations while fighting with Neo's Jabberwalkers, prompting her companions to focus on her as well as the Paper Pleasers to Ascend. As Ruby asks why no one's considering her feelings and refers to the Paper Pleasers as Jaune's "make-believe friends", a frustrated Jaune calls out Ruby for their deaths because Neo's been searching for Ruby along with the chain of events which led them to the Ever After. Even as he realises what he's done seconds later, it's too late to take it back.
* HeroicWannabe: After falling into the Ever After, Jaune unintentionally holds the Paper Pleasers hostage for years just to experience the cheap thrill of saving lives, sabotaging his and Team RWBY's efforts to return to Remnant because of his misplaced fears of the Ever Tree. Seeing the Paper Pleasers' reincarnated forms making a beautiful sculpture out of the water that destroyed their previous forms makes him realise his selfishness. Weiss tells him even the greatest heroes fail; he should just accept he's a brave and good person who tries his best. With Jaune finally accepting the truth, the heroes travel to the Tree and locate Ruby; once he's exposed to the Tree's hallucinogenic smoke, an image of Alyx -- whom he unsuccessfully tried to help as the Rusted Knight -- tells him he needs to be himself and try his best if he wants to become a true hero. By accepting what everyone's been telling him about his unheroic behaviour, he begins to grow out of the trope.
* HeroicWillpower: Despite everything that happened to him, the Knight never lost faith and kept steadfastly protecting others no matter what. It's implied this is what prompted the Curious Cat's animosity with him, as Jaune's willpower never broke waiting to reunite with Team RWBY for ''decades'', forcing the Cat to try for other hosts instead.
* HorseOfADifferentColor: His battle steed is a large white jackalope with huge brass-coloured antlers and golden eyes.
* ImageSong: Jaune gets his first image song in Volume 9, "[[https://youtu.be/pCu43dnxIVM Quiet]]". A meditation on his failures and years of suffering in the Ever After as the Rusted Knight, it plays in a stripped-down, instrumental version as he and WBY behold the return of the Paper Pleasers as the Genial Gems and have an epiphany about the true purpose of the Tree.

He has a VillainousBreadown when he starts losing his game against Ruby and attempts to kill Team RWBY for not letting him win a game on his birthday. His sole purpose in life is to win this game, so he tends to fall apart if he fails to fulfill his purpose.

* ClippedWingAngel: After being forced out of Neo by the rush of memories and emotions, the Curious Cat transforms into a large BeastMan to continue trying to kill the heroes. Unfortunately for them, losing access to Neo's Semblance gets rid of [[UnskilledButStrong the only advantage the Cat had]], and while they battle WBY and Jaune with a slight advantage, the reunited Team RWBY trounces them. Once Ruby joins the fight the Cat's barely even able to scratch any of them before the four launch a CombinationAttack that puts them down for good.
