User blog comment:TheNewProtagonist/Beware, Winter Schnee speculation is coming.../@comment-3257939-20140814001120

I don't believe that Winter is the older. She can't be in the run and living her own lazy life because she doesn't want to be a heiress and why do I think that? Because Weiss call was for the SDC headquarters in Atlas where her father and maybe her sister were at the moment. I don't think that the lady was saying: Do you want me to patch you through to your sister who I believe is visiting us from Vacuo where she's living her carefree life?

Nah, I don't think Winter would be the cliche older sister who doesn't want to be the heiress despite being better than her younger sister so that she feels a lot worse with herself because her father always complains about: Why can't you be like your sister!?

The name is long, I know but nope! I don't wish for Winter to be reduced to that kind of character. It didn't happen with Weiss so let it not happen to her. And there couldn't be something like her sister being sick or having some disease that prevents her from being a heir since the lady in the screen was not sure whether she was there or not. So I don't think her sister would be out there living her life while having a terminal sickness. If you guys find something to explain it to me then say it, pretty please?

So in summary. I think that when Weiss said that she always wanted bunk beds as a kid, it was because she wanted to spend more time with her little sis but was unable to do so because she was chosen as the heiress for being the older child and she spend her days learning to be a heiress while her sister couldn't see her because she was as busy as her father. That could be why she doesn't want to see her either, because they were denied a normal sibling relationship so they don't get along.
