My guess is that Weiss is a full-on subject-matter genius when it comes to Dust, Dust-crystals and blending dust to get different effects. She may have even been doing some personal research to get new effects out of the stuff and some of the modes of Myrtenaster we see in the trailer are forms she's created.

That said, she's socially isolated and not all that good with people at the best of times (having mostly oly previously dealt with servants, employees and other flunkies). Dealing with people who consider her a peer or even an inferior (handling upperclassman attitude is going to be hard for her) is going to be a big learning experience.

I'm still predicting a total breakdown due to these stresses followed by Ruby or even Blake reaching out to her...

BLAKE: "Poor Weiss...! I hadn't realised that being on the top, socially, is as as hard as it is being on the bottom..."

WEISS: (sobbing) "W... W... W... What do you know a... about... about hurting all the time...?"

BLAKE: "Naieve human girl.  Let me tell you a story... Let me tell you what it is to be born with no rights, into subjugation.  To be treated solely as a worthless animal.  Let me tell what it is to be a victim of cruel, human tyranny..."
