Weiss Schnee had been born and raised knowing full well of the expectations placed upon her for her gender. Born into a noble house in Atlas, the center of Olympus's military and technological advancements, Weiss knew that her life was not her own and that others will have chosen her path for her. If her father had his way, she and her older sister Winter would've been married off to the sons (of their fathers) of other noble houses to secure blood ties with the Olympian higher class.
Thankfully the kingdom did not give a shit about what her father wanted.
Once she turned eighteen, Weiss took part in the Registration as per her duty as a woman of Olympus. A week later she got the letter telling her that she was deemed fit to serve as a state prostitute for Olympus. While she wasn't ecstatic about the news, seeing her father fume at having lost the chance to use her as a bargaining chip. It was probably the first time she ever told him to suck it to his face.
Working as a prostitute wasn't Weiss's first choice of employment, but it was better than being married off to a man twice her age. After all, women who worked in the Royal Vice Service were honored and respected for their efforts in relieving people's stress and providing sexual comfort to important politicians and military officials. It was something all girls were expected to be processed for as they grew up.
The only woman who avoided that fate was Winter, who ended up being the personal aide of Prince Arthur, one of King Jupiter's sons. Granted, Winter told her that she had serviced her fair share of royal officials on the prince's orders, so it wasn't like she got out scott-free.
Ordinarily, this meant that Weiss would've been assigned to serve her time at Atlas, but thanks to some persuasion on Winter's end, Weiss was assigned to Beacon instead. Which meant that Weiss didn't have to work under her father's unholy eye or be forced to service his business partners at the brothel. She wasted no time in boarding the airship to Vale, saying goodbye to her admittedly horrible childhood home.
All things considered, she'd rather be a sex worker than some noble's trophy wife. It's not like her time at Beacon was going to be all that exciting.

Ruby stared out the window of the airship, watching the city of Vale slowly pass under them. Behind her she heard the chatter of several other young girls who were also chosen to be sex workers in the VCS. And all of them were at least two years older than her.
The day following that shocking letter was a bit uncomfortable for Ruby, as Yang damn near knocked her head off after learning that she had lost her virginity to a stranger, and the royal head of the RVS on top of it. Her anger only lasted a few seconds when she learned that Ruby got into that situation because she had been searching for Yang in the seediest part of Vale. Yang took it a bit personal and ensured that Ruby knew exactly what she was getting into before they got to Beacon.
There was no way for them to get the department head to change his mind, especially since he was so taken with Ruby, as these decisions were ironclad once they're made official. All they could do was get ready for their new lives and make the best of it.
"Hey sis," Yang sat down next to Ruby and rubbed her back. "How're you feeling?"
"Meh." Ruby sighed. "Just a bit bummed out I didn't get to enjoy my youth."
"Don't be like that. I know some people in Beacon, and they said that the place isn't as scary as most first years think it is." Yang said. "It's not like you're a prisoner. It's just a job you go to and that's it. We'll even have free time too."
"Really?" Ruby perked up at that.
"Yeah. It's certainly more lively than Atlas from what I've heard." Yang smiled. "And they treat their girls right too. That's the law."
