First off, was I the only one weirded out by how Weiss acted towards Winter? Seeing her smile like that alone just felt offputting.

What I found interesting was something that Weiss said to Winter early on: "I know you travel a lot, but so much of Beacon is different from Atlas! Vale too. The government and school are completely separate. Can you believe it, I-"

"I am more than familiar with how this kingdom handles its buracreacy."

It actually made me think: Are hunters from Vale different from hunters from Atlas? From how Weiss put it that the government and huntsman academy in Atlas are interconnected (Makes sense, considering a military man like Ironwood is headmaster.). I feel like this implies that Atlesian Hunters directly serve the government and military of their kingdom (ex: Winter). Likewise, Vale's huntsman and huntresses are more akin to freelancers who serve the people. If this is true, then it definetly would explain the dislike Qrow has for "Atlesian Specialists".

This also raises another question from my thoughts: Where are Winter and Schnee from? At first I assumed they were from Vale's upper class, yet from how Weiss and Winter spoke this episode, I can't help but feel that perhaps their from Atlas. Would explain their specialization in Ice-based "magic" and dust use.
