You're right, Wendy, Weiss definitely comes off as that type of person. Because of her "royal" upbringing, her parents have probably instilled the idea in her that she needs to always appear composed, even as horrible things are going on around her. Notice how she pushed Ruby away and immediately changed her reasoning for hating the White Fang as soon as Ruby tried to comfort her? She realized she was showing too much emotion/giving away too much information, and if her parents were to ever find out, they wouldn't stand for it.... So yeah, she definitely has feelings, but she'd rather be cold and distant if it means keeping up appearances for herself and for her family.

I'm sure with time, Weiss will eventually start to come out of her shell. I'm still curious to learn more about her family, and I would love to see some father-daughter interactions (even if it's just one time) between the two in the near future. It would give us a much better idea of her relationship with her father, and whether or not he's actually the cruel person everyone has made him out to be thus far. I'm kind of rooting for Mr. Schnee to be the bad guy in all of this, having forced his opinions down Weiss's throat in the process, and that eventually, Weiss will realize that her father is the one who had lied to her all along. It would allow for major character development for Weiss should she break away from her father's ideals, and finally start to think for herself.... That's honestly what I think Weiss's biggest problem is - as much as she tries to make herself appear to be an indepent person, none of her actual thoughts are her own; they're all her father's.
