You know. I see some of the people who really want her to have a brother, and this question just keeps bugging me.

Is the thought of having a female heiress that impermissible? Such that we have to assume she has a brother just to make her an heir by proxy? Or, should we always assume that the elites in the world of Remnant prefer a male heiress?

Granted, I realize according to our world, males are typically what is expected. But this is Remnant. A world where the people, physics, and cultures all differ from ours. There are no expectations/traditions that have to be strictly followed. Including specific gender roles.

I think Weiss, for who she is currently, is doing fine as a future heiress. She's an heiress who knows that she has room to grow, and is not completely arrogant, otherwise I doubt she would ever be able to be friends with Ruby and co. She is not perfect, of course. But neither is anyone else at that school; the reason why they are there.

The bunk bed thing may have just been something said to be polite to Ruby. Still entirely possible that she had a brother, sure...Wait. But why a brother? Has it not ever occured to us that she might actually have a sister?
