As to being "out of character" I actually think she is perfectly in character, at least how I envision her character. Not saying she is the type to tell jokes or do silly things, but she is the kind of person to do that in an effort to "fit in" with the others or to ease the tension when she is stepping outside her comfort zone. Her confronting Blake about her feelings is very much outside her comfort zone, because she is more a "live and let live" personality as that is the easiest way to avoid confrontation. If we consider her to have come from a dysfunctional family environment with potential abuse then it makes sense for her to be low on confrontation. Getting into touchy-feely stuff inevitably brings conflict and thus she withdraws. Hence why she is seen as "cold" and her primary interactions with characters in Volume 1 involved conflict as being defensive when confronted is easier for her than letting her emotions flow. I love, love, love it when you analyze Weiss! It's like your thoughts are exactly how I feel about her! So glad someone digs as deeply into these characters as I tend to sometimes, myself.

I couldn't agree more with your analysis!
