Winter and Wiess are probably BOTH hieresses, Winter probably is the more buisness one, where she stands on the moral side of things when compared to Papa Shnee is unknown, based on Weiss's distain for her it would seem she is at least posing as being supportive of her father's buisness practices, which (if she happens to be posing) would give her even greater and more personal access than merely being the CEO's daughter. As for combat skills she almost certainly has them- as both sisters have a snowflake-shaped target on their backs (at least figuratively) defensive training would have been a must as soon as boardmembers, friends and family started disapearing and/or getting killed. The giant knight mech/bot was real though, Weiss has the scar from the fight, however lets listen to Mirror Mirror, and apply it to everything we know about the Shnees.

we have the theme of loneliness surrounding Wiess at that time, she feels like she's alone on something. Paired with that we have "Tell me can a heart be turned to stone" can she become cold and hard or can those she knows really have become stone-hearted. "fear of what's inside me" she's afraid of becoming like other members of her family- same blood is inside of her. and so on.

I believe Winter has become the stone-hearted person Wiess is afraid of becoming, she will embody the part of the Shnee legacy- the name that Wiess wants to hide from, what she wants to keep from the world.

She is Wiess's older sister yet to contrast with Yang and Ruby- Wiess felt like the loniest person of all. They probably don't see eye to eye- distrusting a group of people because of how your raised and dispising an organization for the pain they've caused is completely justifiable its natural, but even before Blake came out, she didn't go out of her way to mistreat Faunus, we don't see her supporting Cardin for his treatment of Velvet, something tells me its a different story for Winter.
