Ruby already has the dead relative aspect covered. Doing the same thing with Weiss would be repetative. From what I can gather in the first season, Weiss grew up living a pampered life, but was constantly abused by her father, who took his frustration for the White Fang out on her.

Weiss hardly seems like the person to be afraid to step out of her comfort zone. In fact, she seemed rather excited to go to Beacon, perhaps to get away from her horrible household.
