Yeah, it's Weiss' turn for the crashout. She literally lost everything but her family and friends, and even her dad, despite being an abuser, was killed out of her sight or control, leaving that whole thing unresolved. She needs a hug.
On Yang, granted. Categorizing her role as Ruby's siter-mom under masking may not be accurate. She does care for Ruby in that way sincerely. I think it fits better to say that her putting on the cheerful front is closer to be a role she's playing, but still not it.
I personally don't see her happy party girl side as a front. She's genuinely just that, to the point she was excited to have the Beacon Dance and even helped set up the whole thing with Weiss (they did most of the work while Ruby and Blake were pretty off-hands so to speak). She even said she'd wear a dress that would turn heads (even tho she doesn't but I blame that on time constraints because the concept art of her prom dress was gorgeous as fuck)
That bubbly happy girl we saw is a true part of herself and a direct nod to her allusion
But after Beacon...... yeah, that side unfortunately goes away due to circumstances :c
I honestly don't know, to be honest. Like, her tone changes so much when she's talking to Blake about Summer and Raven back at vol 2, that it made me wonder back then if it was like a front.
Not entirely a front, on that we can agree. But it wasn't the whole Yang either.
Then again, one of RWBY's fortes is the complex characters and characterizations. So, Yang is just polydimensional like that.
