And you could always start a new thread, but there's no need; here's as good a place as any for this discussion. Plus, I'm glad to see a thread other than Episode 16 or the JaunexPyrrha thread getting used.

As for the theory... I like it. Your theory fits with a lot of assumptions that I've made about the Schnee household and lifestyle. I think it's more thought-out than most.

However, I would like to point out that this fight is most likely Weiss training. In the original, unused intro to the show (Where This Will Be The Day plays), Weiss part was her stabbing practice dummies, while her dad (A dark, shadow figure) watched officially. It's a widely accepted theory (one that I agree with) that Weiss's father put her through cruel training beyond her skill level to try and persuade her to not be a huntress. The way I see it, this fight happens before Weiss even knows what aura is (in terms of protection, anyways), so the only shot she takes causes her serious damage. My guess is that her father let the wound scar over before teaching her how to use her aura, so she'd have a permanent reminder as to how hard and costly being a huntress is.

Please forgive my extended counter-point, I'm naturally cynical. Sorry. So, in the interest of fairness,  I'll put it out there that some of my best friends have had similar problems with their lives (Like Weiss does have) and have done similar things to themselves (Like what you think Weiss has done), if that adds any validity to your theory.

Oh, and trust me, you're not even bordering on what counts as crazy around here.
