What I had in mind: A brother, who was for all accounts a genius and a prodigy, but who never got along with his dad. Their incessant fights eventually reached a climax, with the brother storming out and never returning, leaving Weiss the sole remaining heiress. Maybe Weiss was on good terms with her hypothetical brother, and after he was gone, her father became even more distant. Thus her loneliness. The only way I can see there having been an older sibling is if said sibling, most likely a brother, died and it would probably be that the sibling was killed by the White Fang. It makes sense in various ways. Her father would not just be angry about the White Fang but about having lost an heir, especially a male heir. All the frustrations would be put on Weiss to the point where he was abusive to her, even if he never actually hit her. Losing an older sibling whom she admired to the White Fang would make her hostility towards them even more logical and all of it would make her loneliness that much more sympathetic.
