Before Volume 6 of RWBY premiered, in 2018, Eberle told Inverse that during the season, Weiss's character is learning to examine the world "through her own eye...not what she’s learned from her past" and joked that Weiss is starting to "like" being around the other members of team RWBY, adding "everyone grows around that age," with Weiss's character realizing she needs to think for herself. In 2019, Eberle participated in an "Ask Me Anything" session on the Rooster Teeth official website, in which fans of RWBY asked her questions about Weiss, wanting to know more about the character. She told fans that Weiss loved "blueberry frozen yogurt," with CBR saying this was appropriate considering the "blue and white color scheme" of the character. Eberle later said that her voice acting as Weiss was "one of her biggest achievements". an anime based on the original RWBY series, which focused primarily on Weiss's character, worldview, and her inner psyche in a dream world. Weiss is also known as "Ice Queen" due to her social coldness shown at the series beginning. Eberle was described as giving a "new take on her character" in the English dub, saying it is different than the portrayal by Japanese actress Yoko Hikasa, who voiced three versions of Weiss in the series.
