I actally had an idea for the plot of Volume 4 for Weiss' and Blake's plots: In Atlas, a more free-thinking and outspoken Weiss could have disagreements with papa about how the SDC is run, with Weiss eventually managing to convince her father to make reforms with regards to labor rights for Faunus workers.

At the same time, we could have Blake re-infiltrating the White Fang and working with more moderate elements to bring the organization back to their roots of fighting for Faunus equality rather than just blindly hating humans. She could argue that being terrorists and causing death and destruction is only going to make things worse until one side or the other are wiped out. -Either that or she downright dethrones her father. Though both scenarios would not happen in Vol.4...I say around 6.

-That would get some weird looks from some of the members though. It's like Gundam, talking about how war is hell and just plain wrong, all while gunning everyone down with laser beams like a Boss.

In other words, she would look more like an hypocrite. IMO, it would go like this: First, she practically keeps stabbing herself in her depression and guilt, then something happens and she starts to regain her resolve and stop her self-deprecation, and eventually she creates a counter-group to oppose the WF while promoting equality.
