At the very least, they'll have to completely alter her appearance, since she was seen by a worldwide audience at the tournament. Maybe not her personality and voice, since very few people actually got that close to her, but they still might as extra precaution. Though as for impact on the plot, that'd depend on if she remembers her previous life, especially Ruby. Escaping Atlas and going on her own journey of rediscovery could make for an interesting arc, but that depends on what Monty had in mind for her. I doubt we'll find out for sure in this volume, maybe later on in the story, we'll see. If Weiss stays in Atlas until the end of the volume and screentime is devoted to her and the others rather than RNJR for awhile, I could see Penny used as a plot device and character development for Weiss now, a replacement for Pyrrha later, and an eventual "Salem isn't the BBEG" or at least isn't the only enemy arc later, switching antagonists to Atlas or other Remnant government forces for at least a season.
