I think I read somewhere a tweet where someone asks Monty if the Giant Armor in the White Trailer has another meaning, that the Armor is the representation of something or someone who Weiss is trying to overcome. Can you guess what was Monty's response?

Monty:  :)

I can't remember where I read this but it gave me a big theory:

Weiss has someone who is better than her, possibly an older cousin or a deceased older sister and that person was perfect and Weiss is desperately trying to overcome that person. I believe that Weiss' urge to be perfect is her father. In the DVD, there is an easter egg, the original opening storyboard where Weiss is sparring and the camera zooms a silhouette who is watching, that must be her father.

Since Weiss has never mentioned her mother, I can't help it but to believe she is dead and all she has left is a father who cares more about his job than his child. If that was true, it would explain the loneliness in her Mirror Mirror. She lacks the love of a family, a caring mother and father, a little brother to play with or a big sister to look up to.
