Look at all these ocs! Height ref and more info below the cut!

He basically existed as a placeholder for weiss to have a non hostile person to talk to while she was at the manor so she could just Say Shit Out Loud at times and then a plot device to help her leave. He is then kicked out of the story w no hesitation until they need to pull him out of their ass to deal with their poor writing decisions & fix Penny- which he SOMEHOW knows how to do.

Ironwood is the other character used a lot for a replacement dad for the schneeblings but at least he’s a character who actually matters (despite poor handling but yk we’ve been over that), Klein existed as a throwaway plot device and nothing more. Like, I like the guy, he seems sweet, but he’s not doing anything to actually help or add to the story.

oh yeah i definitely agree with this. it really felt like klein filled in the hole that was left when irondaddy showed up like twice in v4 so the dad role that people wanted to give him in the early volumes was just kind of defacto given to klein because he was, much like you said, the only person nice to weiss during her time in the manor.

there’s really nothing there to say that he as a paternal instinct to her rather than just a very caring butler & what’s always rubbed me up the wrong way is that he is very much weiss centric. winter is mentioned like once & whitley, the schneebling that’s spent the most time with him, is basically an afterthought who is given none of the kindness or empathy that klein gives weiss. he even giggles with her when making fun of this child & it’s just. gee, i wonder why he’s like this lmao.
