I'll be honest, I wanna see Weiss take a few (dozen) hits or so. She honestly pisses me off. She initially got on Ruby's case when Ruby accidently fell into her luggage, and then started off on a short speech about how Ruby was an idiot, too young, and other insulting things. Meahwhile, that was not necessary.

Fast forward to now, I still want someone to punch Weiss, but I'm not really hating her any more. I've noticed something. She lacks confidence. The moment Ruby left, and the beowolves appeared, Weiss started freaking out. She even called for Ruby several times, each with increasing urgency. She is terrified of the beowolves. Terrified of the Grimm.

With this previous observation, I started to realize, she gives a good representation of a classic character psychological profile. Shows confidence on the outside, but is not really good with situations they would otherwise brag about being capable of handling.

Weiss is no longer the fastest as we thought, because physically, Ruby and Blake are faster, and even when using her speed boost, she is still outdone by Blake's natural speed or Ruby's cross-mag speed, leaving Weiss barely at third. Her confidence and bravado belie her true feelings. She's weak and insecure. She doesn't have Blake's hardened attitude, Yang's natural good nature, or Ruby's innocence and lack of fear yet. Her sheltered upbringing only taught her about dust, not about combat or life.

She's still at the bottom of my favorites compared to the other girls, and still below Ren, Pyrrha, and Jaune in terms of overall favorites. But I no longer hate her. I pity her. She chose a life she is not cut out for now. In time, she will get better, but for now, each time she fights a Grimm, I doubt she will be any more confident than she is now without someone at her side to back her up.

Being the classic rich-girl style character, Weiss' only "royal test" or "challenge" is most likely her trying to refuse her parents will that she inherit her familys business. Even then, she doesn't seem to reluctant. So maybe it's her family's will that she become a Huntress. Either way, her problems as were theorized early on don't seem all too great. Just normal rich person crap. Problems I can find in just about any anime.

Bottom line, Weiss is nothing special. Her background seems to be a normal rich-girl one, her confidence is false and her image shattered, and against a mook opponent who you guys are saying is weaker than the Knight she fought, and in lesser numbers than what Ruby fought, she is faltering and panicking. Even if these beowolves are slightly upgraded, they're still low in number, and weaker than the Knight. So, where is your confidence in this cold, sad, and pitiful bitch now?

Ruby for the win bitches.
