>>105440296Okay I really don't wanna rewatch the boring shitshow that was Volume 5 but from what I can recall I don't think they have that much in common.
Don't get me wrong, they have things in common, they're still friends after all. But Weiss grew up with a silver spoon, but was alone in a broken household that felt it was above the commoners. She trained to get herself noticed by her family, and be better than them, like Winter who was her only family that treated her like family.
While Yang and Ruby grew up in low income household, with one mother dead and another abandoning her daughter. Yang felt the need to take charge and protect her baby sister despite not being that much older, and while Tai might not be perfect, he still cares deeply for Yang and Ruby. While Jacques only saw Weiss as a living trophy at best.
Weiss grew up isolated and mostly alone, Yang grew up with a baby sister and affectionate single father.
Yang and Weiss are two ends of different trees anon
For the sake of argument let's bring up Blake
Blake for years was part of a radical group hoping to give freedom and protection for her people, whom she saw as oppressed. For years she thought of the people she fought with her "brothers and sisters", she knows the dangers of not being strong enough and feels fear and insecurities that she might be enough to save the people she cares about. Which have been realized by Adam on multiple occasions.
Yang and Blake both see themselves as protectors with insecurities about themselves manifested through their fears of not being strong enough to do what needs to be done.
So yeah, Blake does have more in common with Yang than Weiss does.
Granted the show itself doesn't do a very good job in telling you all this.
