And people wonder why she's my favorite character.

People seem to forget that just because someone is a bit abrasive at first, that doesn't automatically make them unkind. Even when Weiss does treat others rather harshly, it's hardly ever without good reason. She may despise the White Fang, but is that really so hard to believe when the group in question is responsible for the loss of numerous relatives and associates? As you mentioned, the same applies towards her initial view of Ruby. Not to mention, when you think about it Weiss's situation isn't very different from Ruby's, just from a different end of the spectrum. While Ruby strives to show everyone that her two-year skip to Beacon wasn't a fluke, Weiss may be trying to prove that she can thrive in the world on her own, regardless of her position as heiress to a powerhouse like the SDC.
