For your Myrmidons that are with Lionheart
Think it be more thematic if they the ones to kill him once he is revealed to be a traitor. Especially if pyrrha survives for it.

It be like how Goge Vandire from w40k was killed.

And yes, Tomo-chan is a Girl is a perfect basis to use! What else?

Maybe Yor from SpyXFamily?
She can be pretty shy, and may respond with violence if confronted with any way of physical intimasy (such as kissing), or will fully down a bottle of liquor just so she can push herself to go through with stuff like that (either because the situation demands it or because she really really wants to despite her nerves).

Maybe something from that could work?

That's not a bad idea, and I can definitely see it working as a narratively satisfying conclusion to a story arc.

At the same time these would be the Myrmidons he's had the most time to work over, so it's also possible that he's truly made them completely and totally his by the time the story is happening.

So this is an idea I think could go either way and have it make sense.

You know who we need for the Arc clan Lyra and her husband Harry.

The JNPR common room was quiet for once—no explosions, no hammer drills, no Ren quietly meditating in the corner. Just the three of them: Jaune sprawled on the couch with a medical textbook balanced on his stomach, Yang perched on the armrest beside him scrolling through her Scroll, and Pyrrha sitting cross-legged on the floor doing wrist stretches.

Yang was the one who broke the comfortable silence.

"Putain, ce prof de Dust est vraiment un con!" She muttered under her breath, scowling at whatever message she'd just received.

Jaune's head snapped up so fast the book slid off his lap and thumped onto the carpet.

Yang blinked at him. "What?"

He swallowed. His ears had gone faintly pink.

"…Say that again?"

Yang tilted her head, confused but game. "Putain, ce prof de Dust est vraiment un con?"

Jaune made a small, strangled noise in the back of his throat. His pupils were suddenly very large.

Yang's grin started slow and dangerous. "Ohhh. You like that, huh?"

Jaune coughed into his fist. "It's… Gallian was the first language I learned. It's… home. And hearing it from you is…" He gestured helplessly. "Really hot. Like. Really."

Yang's grin turned downright predatory. She leaned down until their noses almost touched.

"Tu veux que je continue, mon petit chevalier~?"

Jaune's face went from pink to full crimson in record time. He made another strangled sound.

Pyrrha, who had been quietly watching the exchange with growing fascination, suddenly cleared her throat.

"Ἐὰν σοῦ ἀρέσῃ ἡ γλῶσσα αὕτη, Ἰάων," she said softly, voice pitched lower than usual, "μπορῶ νὰ σοῦ μιλήσω ἑλληνιστὶ ὅλη τὴν ἡμέρα."

Jaune's head whipped toward her so fast it should have snapped his neck.

Pyrrha's cheeks were flushed, but her emerald eyes were bright, almost challenging.

"You are of course familiar with Hellenic, aren't you Jaune?" She asked sweetly. Jaune nodded.

"Y-Yeah, my mom wanted me to learn the classics and... Stuff..."

Yang's grin sharpened into something feral.

"Oh. It's on, Cereal Girl."

Pyrrha's answering smile was sweet, serene, and utterly lethal.

"Très bien," she purred in perfect Gallian, then switched seamlessly back to Hellenic, "ἀλλὰ ἐγὼ πρῶτον τὸν ἄνδρα ἔμαθον νὰ ἀγαπᾷ."

Yang laughed—low, delighted, dangerous.

"Tu parles bien, princesse. Mais regarde ça—"

She leaned right into Jaune's space, lips brushing his ear, whispering something long and filthy-sounding in rapid Gallian.

Jaune made a noise that could only be described as "system overload."

Pyrrha's eyes narrowed. She slid gracefully to her knees in front of him, placed one hand on his thigh for balance, and murmured something slow and velvet-smooth in
Hellenic, her voice dropping into registers Jaune had never heard from her before.

Jaune's pupils were now approximately the size of dinner plates.

Yang's hair flared brighter.

"Tu triches," she accused, grinning like a shark.

"Σοῦ ἀρέσει ὅμως," Pyrrha replied sweetly.

"Okay, okay—" Jaune managed, voice cracking on the second 'okay'. He held up both hands like he was trying to stop a train. "Ladies. Please. Settle this like mature adults."

Yang and Pyrrha looked at each other.

Considered.

Then, in perfect unison:

Yang (in Gallian): "Va te faire foutre."

Pyrrha (in Hellenic): "Πήγαινε γαμήσου."

They glared at each other over Jaune's head.

Jaune dropped his face into his hands and groaned.

"I hate my life."

Nora chose that exact moment to kick the door open, already eating a pancake.

"Yo! What'd I miss? Why does Jaune look like he's about to combust?"

Yang and Pyrrha answered at the same time, still glaring daggers at each other as Jaune blushed:

"Communication issues."

I'm not.

"Damn, that Dust teacher is really an idiot!"

"Do you want me to continue, my little knight~?"

"If you like this language, Jason (Jaune), I can talk to you in Greek(Hellinic) all day."

"Very well." "But I was the first to learn how to love a man."

"You speak well, princess. But look at this-..."

"You're cheating"

"You like it though"

"Go fuck yourself."
"Go fuck yourself"

Myrmidon Cloning Conspiracy

Click to shrink...

I'd have to adjust it a little bit to fit Son's Revelation but you've got some solid stuff here that I REALLY want to work with.

What I think I will do is have this project having been started up following the Faunus Revolution.

Much in the same way that Vacuians looked to Lady Artic to kickstart their Industrial Revolution and drag Vacuo kicking and screaming into a modern power. The Mistralians smarting from the loss in the Great War and the near loss against the Faunus are basically looking for a solution. Mantle and Atlas are having their civil war. (Because a peaceful transition after everything that's happening is stupid.)

Basically Vale is the only one who's come out of this era smelling of roses. Part of the reason why they felt comfortable enough to start the process of demilitarization. It's not complete by the time of RWBY proper but the military has been reduced considerably to garrison forces then an institution able to project power.

The idea of a 'Divine Army' fits the Greek and Asian aesthetics. But it's taken them up to this point to even get their genome tweaking and cloning setup done. Supposedly they cracked an ancient repository of knowledge that detailed the process but it's in a dead language that's been near impossible to speak and had no real connection to any of the modern or even known ancient languages of Remnant. (These repositories pop up once in a while and are often a source of excitement in scholastic circles world wide.)

So now they're looking for a template to use.

And this is where Pyrrha Nikos comes in.

The conspiracy has been both seeking and attempting to guide certain bloodlines in the hopes of producing their chosen warrior. Pyrrha's mother Athena was supposedly of one such bloodline of ancient warriors long past. (Insert Kratos as Pyrrha's ancestor here claims.) They'd hoped that combining her bloodline with one of their agents would get them the result they were hoping for.

Now it's been noted in that Jaune was a sickly child in this timeline. Isabel driving herself into a frenzy trying to save him.

Pyrrha when she was born had the same condition. Athena basically spiraled and her husband, a conspiracy agent, convinced her to sent the child off to 'a specialist' which was just a conspiracy lab.

The real Pyrrha Nikos died of complications in the lab. What the lab did do however is that they were able to isolate and correct the problems with Pyrrha. And so a clone of her with a corrected genome was returned to her mother. Otherwise unaltered aside from correcting the deficiency.

Now the project at this point decided to try and use the template they'd obtained from Pyrrha to start production since she was the first template they managed to get their hands on and the whole eugenics thing wasn't working out with a lot of their targets basically being defective similar to Pyrrha and Jaune. They already had a 'designer template' ready and so went to work.

So the first several batches were sped grown just to see what the outcome would be. And realized they'd struck gold with EXACTLY they were looking for in Pyrrha. While the vast majority of Batches 1-4 died out due to being sped grown, three of which stubbornly cling to life even today. "The Fates" Clotho, Lachesis, and Atropos.

These three often making decisions for which track each new batch of Myrmidons will take. And they are TERRIFYINGLY good at accurately identifying which of their sisters are best suited to which track. Hence why they are "The Fates".

Batches 5 and onward are grown conventionally for the reasons listed out.

It is actually the Fates who have been spinning tales of the 'Divine Mother' from who's flesh they were born from her sacrifice. Deifying the original Pyrrha who died. Claiming that one day, she shall resurrect from the underworld and lead them in a glorious Battle to end All Battles which will see the world reshaped into utopia. Which is their twisted version of what they've gleaned from the Conspiracy's intent with them. The conspiracy encourages this behavior.

Meanwhile, "Pyrrha" grows up unaware of any of this and is subtility 'guided' toward the tournament scene to see if she develops along the same path the early batches had as a combat prodigy. Success sees that fresh samples to keep the template from unraveling are drawn under the guise of wellness checks and regular medical exams. Many of her tournament displays are often shown to the Myrmidons with the hopes that many of them will latch onto her as their 'Divine Mother reborn'. While the general consensus is favorable toward Pyrrha, there are still some holdouts and the Fates themselves do not seem convinced.

This can allow for a divergence on whether Pyrrha lives or dies at the Fall of Beacon. If she dies then the Fates simply preach she was not the one and that the waiting must continue. If she lives then the Fates declare her the 'Divine Mother Reborn'. Reactions among the Myrmidons may vary but most follow their 'Eldest Sisters'.

Pyrrha herself has been conditioned to be humbled both as optics and to ensure she is malleable to direction from The Conspiracy. The fact she is still a clone of the original who is dead can still prompt a mental crisis of 'am I even real?'

Additionally with the original Pyrrha having suffered the same condition as Jaune can result in Isabel having dabbled a bit with the Conspiracy before parting ways. While she wasn't able to find anything to help Jaune prompting Salem to finally intervene in their 'deal' the conspiracy benefited a great deal from her in refining their process resulting in the latest batches being 'better' then normal. Perhaps something of a schism between the original runs and the 'Isabel' batches popping up.
