Her family is exceedingly rich and undoubtedly traveling all over without her. Who knows if she even received an outside education prior to Beacon? A family like that, it is possible she was tutored privately. The White Trailer and Red Like Roses suggest that she is lonely and pressured. Mirror Mirror obviously points to this with the song saying "I am the loneliest of all", but also asking "can a heart be turned to stone?" referring to her emotional isolation possibly turning to indifference. Red Like Roses says "white is cold" and "burdened by a royal test", which would seem to describe Weiss as being bitchy because she is under a lot of pressure to succeed. This may not even be the kind of success her family wants given that being a huntress doesn't seem like a very prestigious job. RLR also refers to white "always yearning", possibly meaning that she is looking desperately for an emotional connection. When you think about it, her engaging Ruby at the opening ceremony after their previous run-in may have been a cry for affection. She strikes me as the "doth protest too much" type. Weiss was putting on a big show of not wanting anything to do with Ruby, but stuck around all the same. Deep down, she just wants to be fwiends, but is too proud to admit it.
