Weiss really has seemed to fail to develop in her development scenes as opposed to just hitting notes she already had as though the previous seasons never hit them this season... and be oddly absent from scenes she could really use for extra development. You know, I think we really have to address at some point that aside from racism against Faunus, another area where CRWBY have been sorely lacking is in their presentation of domestic abuse. Of the main characters, Weiss is the only one we know of who had any kind of abusive family environment and they have done such a poor job of portraying it that people have actually sympathized with Jacques at times. Only other people who appear to have any kind of abuse history are Cinder and Mercury, both villains who for various reasons aren't seen as particularly sympathetic either.
