Talk:Weiss Schnee/@comment-10390252-20130726083231

I think I know the reason why Weiss froze up when confronting Blake and it wasn't anger.

"Mirror, mirror, what's behind me?

Save me from the things I see!

I can hide you from the world,

Why won't you let me hide from me?"

Weiss is very well aware that the name of Schnee isn't automatically something of which to be proud. Indeed, I think she might be ashamed of the person she sees in thie mirror. She struck me as being defensive during her confrontation with Ruby and Blake. Hearing someone else, a complete stranger echoing her own misgivings and sense of shame at her family's conduct must have thrown her pretty badly.

I think she ran off to avoid the humilliation of breaking down in front of that clumsy little girl and the strange, frightening black-haired woman and maybe starting to babble apologies for her name.
