She didn't leave a good first impression to the audience, but you got to remember the first time she met Ruby she saw some trashing her luggage, and then she though she was a safety hazard after she caused an explosion.

-Defcon Deceiver It's not even fair to say she was a spoiled brat. As much as other characters pushed it and how little they did at first to diminish that impression, the reality is she isn't spoiled in the slightest. One thing that can be safely said about her parents is that they were neither lenient nor indulgent. There was always something implied to that effect dating back to the White Trailer, but it wasn't until Volume 4 that we had any real idea about her family life. Still don't think we have much on that. Her character short song talked about an "unexpected loss of something dear" and I'm not sure this would fit. Weiss seems to play things very close and I would say this is because she isn't sure she can trust people with her true feelings. Feels to me as if this is just slowly circling in on something more serious.
