Weiss is my favorite character. She's arrogant, but

1. Empathic towards her friends (tries to cheer up Blake and Yang in her own way when they're down).

2. Team player - Always supporting teammates with her abilities, leaves herself undefended at times as a result.

3. Persistence/Self-sacrifice - Tried to drag Flynt into lava to help Yang in Vol 3. Got knocked out by the prototype robot in Vol 1 when she spent her time giving speed up and time dilation to Blake instead of dodging attacks.

4. Character growth - starts off trying to be leader, learns to be a team player. Starts off abusing her hieress rights, learns to turn away from her father and be her own person. No other character in the series grows as much as she does (except maybe Jaune?). She even learns new abilities through persistence and practice - summoning.

Second favorite character is Pyrrha:

1. Humility - Pyrrha is very humble despite being arguably the among the best fighters in the world.

2. Helpful - Always willing to help others, especially Jaune, even if it is not in her best interests (Vol 2 dance)

3. Extreme Competence - Pyrrha's fight scenes are awesome! And she's like Magneto, even though she's already extremely proficient at combat without abusing her polarity powers.
