Another thing that I think separates Weiss from your typical rich brat character is that, despite Weiss' respect of authority and order, she isn't afraid of speaking out against the powers that be. Despite her respect for authority figures, she doesn't just blindly listen to people just because they're in a position of power. She is willing to defy Ruby, the team leader, because she believes her to be immature, and what's more, she believes that Ozpin himself made a mistake in appointing her leader of team RWBY. She even scolds Professor Port for blindly agreeing with Ozpin despite seeing how skilled Weiss is. She may not be above kissing ass to get what she wants, but she's not a kiss-ass herself. She is a freethinking person who isn't afraid to speak out against authority despite her respect for it. Monty himself even describes her as a rebel.

Also, why do people call her a tsundere? She's not. At all.
