The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Blake is quite probably a thief and a murderer too, but she is a member of Team RWBY. I don't see how that means Emerald needs a better reason to turn on Cinder. Providing her loyalty to Cinder is premised on gratitude over a good deed, a few good deeds from someone else as Cinder neglects or even hurts her could be sufficient reason for her to turn. Not suggesting Emerald would suddenly not care about Cinder, but just that she might oppose her plans.

Blake is already on the path to redemption before being ousted... Emerald shows little to no chance of sharing a similar arc. Emerald has no regrets for at least thieving, while Blake regrets just about everything about her former affiliation.

They are almost completely different, and again, this could change provided RT finally shows an actual threat apart from the current baddies.
