Instead of looking for honor though,  Weiss is a rebel and is probably trying to distance herself from her family, and while I think she'll open up to Ruby and the girls, she'll still retain the behavior we've seen in the second episode. I also think her and Blake won't get along for a long while. They'll come into conflict often. I personally don't want to look too much into the trailers because I believe they are just showcases, but Weiss's royal test could may very well be her trying to gain independence from her family and take control of her own life, as Monty said "everything is decided for her". Being a Huntress is just the step she needs.. I just love her character, she is my favourite and will stay that way haha. Where Zuko is extremely passionate I think Weiss is cold, reminiscent of Azula, just not insane or evil. I also think Weiss knows all about the shadiness that goes on in her family business, but just doesn't want to accept it just yet.

Oh, and they found out what happened to Zuko's mother hahaha. They have comics(that are canonical to the series) that depicts the time skip between Avatar the last airbender and the Legend of Korra. Oh, I didn't realize they were canon. Anyway, I think that even though Weiss' decision to become a huntress didn't sit well with her family, they probably eventually stopped trying to deny it to her.

I can imagine her father saying: "Alright, if you're so dead-set on giving up an inheritance to the largest Dust Corporation in the world, that's your problem. Go to Beacon. But you will not disgrace the family name there, understand? I expect you to carry yourself according to your position, and know that I am only providing for you because I expect you'll come to your senses and leave all this "Huntress" silliness behind. Don't disappoint me."

So while Weiss is kind of a rebel, I imagine she hasn't completely abandoned her family... yet.
