It isn\'t \'fandom thinks Character A is simpler than other characters\'. Go and read the trope. It\'s \'the character has been deliberately designed as a simple, relatable character to emphasise the complexity of the other characters and the fandom either likes this and feels like they can step into the character\'s shoes, or they dislike the character\'s simplicity\'. The trope is about characters whose role in the story is believed by the fandom to be about helping the audience to experience the complexity of the other characters in the story.

It isn\\\'t \\\'fandom thinks Character A is simpler than other characters\\\'. Go and read the trope. It\\\'s \\\'the character has been deliberately designed as a simple, relatable character to emphasise the complexity of the other characters and the fandom either likes this and so does relate to the character, or they\\\'re turned off by the character\\\'s simplicity and therefore dislike it\\\'. The trope is objectively about characters whose role in the story is to help the audience experience the complexity of the other characters in the story; the YMMV comes from whether or not this actually achieves the result -- fans may think that the character does indeed help them or that they\\\'re just so turned off by the character that it doesn\\\'t.

There is a character in this show who was initially used to introduce the complexity of other characters -- but that character was Jaune (who was originally acting as a foil to Ruby, Pyrrha and the others, right down to the lampshading of Ruby and Jaune\'s weapons, or using Jaune\'s clumsy, untrained hack-and-slash style to highlight the complexity of Pyrrha\'s highly trained, Semblance-influenced style; even his Semblance effectively helps the audience to better understand the scope of everyone else\'s Aura abilities -- whether self-healing or Semblance).

Meanwhile, the current VanillaProtagonist entry for Ruby has more in common with the FlatCharacter trope than VanillaProtagonist. The fandom\'s discussions of Ruby also centre around the FlatCharacter trope instead of VanillaProtagonist. And that\'s the difference: Ruby is the FlatCharacter, while Jaune is the VanillaProtagonist.
