I agree to the point that it seems like a stretch to most people, myself included. Because it is a stretch. What we've got to remember, though, is that Weiss isn't "Most people". She's a mega-rich Heiress to what may be the single most powerful orginization on the planet, (possibly) abused by her family and hated by many, target of constant attempts at her life and the life of her loved ones, sheltered in almost every way from the true state of the world, life absent of simple things like friendship, and maybe even love... and all that's not even going into the fact the Remnant is nothing like Earth (And the fact that it would be much more taxing, both mentally and physically, to live there).

So, I wouldn't say that she's crazy as much as arrogent; I would also venture to say that her arrogence isn't her fault. The Ice Princess is cold because her environment demanded she be that way. She toughened up to survive, to make life easier, and maybe even bearable in it's best moments. The few times that we see beyond her harsh exterior, she's heart-touchingly sweet. If she melts, she'll be one of the nicest characters on the show. That's the Weiss I hope see. I see the girl, not the trope. The human, not the heiress. And there's no reason for Monty not to take that angle. It's feels gold.
