Actually Live, Weiss is not a Tsundere by default. She's not only cold but also brutally honest about her feelings and very pessimistic. It's hard to consider her wish to bury Blake inside a jail a Tsundere thing. However, if you want an example of Weiss being a Tsundere, you have the Don't touch me! when Ruby hugged her only to hug back. That's probably the most obvious Tsundere thing she has ever done but it was played straight while the other moments can't be simply labeled as Weiss being a Tsundere by default instead of an Ice queen.

Besides, wouldn't that make Blake a tsundere too? Like a cat, she started cold and distant only to become warm and close to her team. Even to the point where she wasn't really mad when Yang used a laser to lure her away from the computer. You would expect someone with so much pride about being a faunus to be completely mad at her.

Then again, Tsundere has been turned into a more common term over the years. It started strictly for romance, but now every person who tries to hide their true feelings behind a cold attitude can apply for this. They don't even need to be cold by default personality, only to use it as a defense mechanism. You can have an adorkable male love interest and have the girl do something that embarasses him. If he tries to act tough to hide it, he's being a Tsundere. But I prefer it when it's played as a trope rather than an archetype. It's much better to have a character acting as a Tsundere rather than being one by default.
