I agree Weiss seems to hold some sort of guilt, whenever I watch the show I always feel like she is uncomfortable with herself. This is totally subjective, and I admit my first theory to the scar (and still my favorite so far) plays a lot in this opinion, but I can't help but think she hides her unsecurities behind a wall of pride. I think she is trying to look confident to hide the fact she is actually not. Totally agree! I'd like to say, in terms of what we know about the characters so far, Weiss seems to have the most layers. It's like every time we see a tiny bit of progress, something comes up, things get a little too personal, and all of a sudden, she's back to the snobby, judgmental Weiss we met back in Episode 2. Thankfully, she seems as though she's finally starting to warm up to her other teammates, but I know that a huge part of her still has a guard up that's probably going to take quite some time to finally break.

I'm still waiting for Yang to show a little more of her "true self", though. I'm sure since we've already made quite some leeway with Weiss and Blake, and even a little bit with Ruby, we'll probably finally get a glimpse at Yang's past sometime in Volume 2 (or at least we can hope).
