About her "pride", I think Weiss is the kind of person that always looks for recognition. She wants to be praised, so she wants to excel in everything, even things she doesn't particularly like. She seems really serious about being a huntress, unlike the rest of team RWBY. I mean, as Andrew said, Yang loves to fight, Ruby wants to be hero, I'll add that Blake is trying to avoid the White Fang (and possibly wants to make up for the crimes she has comitted), it doesn't seem like the three of them take it really seriously, no matter how badly they might want it. I like the idea she might just be nervous about it, though she still seems confident in her skills (or is that just a façade?).

I wonder (sudden hypothesis that might be just crap) if she wants to be a Huntress for the persons she has lost during her life. After dealing with so many loss, she might just want to protect people. So, thinking about her job as a potential future Huntress (let's hope so) would make her think of the people she lost, thus making her sad.
