Let's give some credit to Live and follow his reasoning: Winter and Weiss are both heiress. Thank you for freely leaving out Shadow at Morning, who also follows said reasoning and has defended it far more and far longer than I have.

As for the rest, creating a competitive scenario among the heirs to X, especially when X is a company, is something more common than it sounds, both in Real Life and in Fiction. And it has a reason for it.

Humanity has shown that it has gotten so far partially through desire to compete against others and prove X is better than Y. That constant desire between X and Y to defeat each other pushes them to become harder, better, faster, stronger, and overall break their current limits to guarantee victory.

The same is done here. X and Y are going to inherit a company, and as such their parents make them compete against each other so that by trying to beat the other, both become sufficiently smart, strong or whatever, and as such both would be ready. In some cases they are competing for who gets the company since only 1 can, in other cases both will get it anyway but don't know it yet, in other cases the winner gets the bigger share.

That is precisely what Weiss and Winter are doing. They are competing, trying to beat each other to get the company, or at least the bigger share. The downside is, this forms some cold air between both, understandably.

Now, let me ask you something: Have we been truly shown that she is constantly trying to get perfect grades in everything? Do we see her studying with 9 books in hand for the simplest test? Do we see her training for entire months for simple practice duels?
