 “I'm not perfect! Not yet. But I'm still leagues better than you.”

 She’s consciously aware she isn’t perfect, or at least she has an ideal she wishes to achieve and understands she isn’t there yet.

 Generally speaking, characters that are born in a high society background are airheads, people that dream even when they are awake since they’re whole life is indeed, a dream come true, which   at best makes them eccentric and at worst makes them judgmental jerks towards anyone they deem not on their level.

 Weiss is an interesting exception, because despite being born into a high society, and initially judging people based on their background or how they carry themselves (hence why clumsy people like Ruby and Jaune seem to rub her to wrong way just by existing), she has her feet firmly planted on the ground which allows her to see some of her flaws (she admitted needing to be nicer to Ruby and that she shouldn’t view Blake the same way she does the White Fang), while accentuating other flaws (she required Port to accept Ruby as a leader) shared by her type of character.

So overall I like her because…well for the same reason I like all my characters… they make me think.
