I see where you're coming from on the Dust issue, but I'm still a little miffed that Blake, who is clearly practical and intelligent, didn't think to bring her own. If anyone besides her would, I agree that it would be Weiss, but this is Blake's weapon and she needs to use it properly!

Small annoyances aside, I do completely agree with you, especially on Weiss recieving the most development (I personally think that part of Ruby's character is that she doesn't need quite as much development as her teammates; she's a simple soul and that's her greatest strength. I'm not saying that she'll get none, but she's a step ahead of her teammates in terms of figuring out what she wants to do with her life). As a character, Weiss has so many different layers and issues, as you said. I hope that the writers take the proper amount of time to address that in volume 3 and give her the development she missed out on in volume 2.
