you're being too kind on Weiss. However, logical approach, so credit for that. I don't think Ruby enjoys fighting so much as being quite happy to throw herself into it for the sake of helping others or defending. She has never once been seen to attack something that was not threatening somebody first.

I'd agree that Weiss probably is kind by nature, but I think she simply has too limited an experience of the world to not cause friction. Every conflict she causes results from her reacting harshly to something, whether or not an average person would really be annoyed by it. Even the times when she's supposed to look unreasonable, such as her argument with Blake, or her wanting to lead team RWBY, look a lot more favourable to her if you factor in Port's comment about her never being refused something or disagreed with. Indeed, with that in mind, her constant attempts to criticize the white fang in the face of Blake disagreeing seem more like her simply not having any good response to being disagreed with, so she just repeats the same one. from the same episode, her warped view of being a victim "Dad was angry because everything around our company is messed with" also seems to stem from her not having much of a standard to set negativity by.

I'd also like to point out that one of the inspirations for RWBY was apparently the Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire. Seems to me that Weiss is an inversion of that that show's premise.
