Yeah, that was my thinking as well. I always thought that the entire White Trailer could be metaphorical.

She's also performing in front of a massive audience, which could stand for the "royal test", the pressure to grow up and be the heiress of SDC.

Previously I had thought of the armor as representing all the pressure on her, but this last episode brings in the idea that it could be her father (including possibly giving her the scar). Another clue is what Weiss said to Ruby in the Emerald Forest Pt 2, and how she said it: I'm not perfect. Not yet.

The need to be "perfect" is a common trait in abused children because the abuser uses their "faults" as an excuse to start the beatings.
