I think the thing with Pyrrha is that, your average citizen that it's not particularly into hunters tournaments won't know her when she shows up on TV/magazines/cereal boxes/walking down the streets, but people from the environment will. Just like in our world someone who is not into futbol won't know Messi when he shows up on TV/magazines/publicity but any fultbol (or actually sports enthusiasm) probably knows who he is.

That's why she ultimately had problems making meaningful relationships. All students at a Combat School are in the hunter environment, and will be aware of a hunter star (particularly if said star is a classmate) and thus will evaluate any contact with her by its benefit (like Weiss wanted to pair with her because it would be a perfect combo of "strongest and smartest")
