This suggests she's more preoccupied with upholding the Schnee name than ascertaining her father's affection. She might be fed up with her father, she might be having a dispute with him. She might be afraid of him. We've got no idea. I can't wait to find out why she seems to resent him so much.

The conflict has to be something to do with Weiss being a Schnee, of course. Maybe Weiss' conflict isn't to do with her father being a villain, but obliviously putting stress on her. I'm talking about the possibilty Weiss feels trapped by being an Heiress. She might feel like her life is on the rails, and there's no way out. Her father isn't aware she feels this way- this doesn't make him a villain, just oblivious. That might explain why Weiss wouldn't talk to her father- she can't face him, knowing she has to either reamain unhappy, or dissapoint him immensely. This is a common problem in Parent-Child relationships, and I don't want to be too quick to villainize Weiss' father so this could very well be the case.

As a side question, assuming the armour is symbolic...how did Weiss get that scar? I have to assume that it is whoever the armor symbolises hurt her, which contradicts how that armor is a part of her. Maybe the conflict between how she must act and who she wants to be caused that injury.
