@Thunderbird Except, most likely, Blake never, ever, even once lived in that mansion before Volume 4. She said that she participated in boycotts and rallies, while the episode showed us an image of her as a small child holding up a sign. There's no reason to hold rallies and boycotts in Menagerie, which means that Blake and her parents were protesting and boycotting in the kingdoms where the discrimination was going on. She saw the discrimination she was fighting against. She was there.

The mansion in Menagerie is the chieftan's mansion, reserved for the chieftan, and Ghira did not become the chieftan until after he stepped down from his position as the White Fang's leader. However, when Ghira and Kali left the White Fang, Blake did NOT. That was when she split off from her parents. She continued living on the road with the White Fang on the other continents, while her parents went to Menagerie to live in the chieftan's mansion. Blake IS NOT the 1%! Literally the only reason that her parents live in that mansion is just because Ghira BECAME the chieftan five years ago! And like I said, most likely, Blake never lived in that mansion before Volume 4 because she chose to stay with the White Fang when her parents left!

In my opinion, that does not make her "the Faunus Weiss Schnee" because Weiss, unlike Blake, was born into and grew up in a posh, rich life, while Blake grew up in a life somewhere away from Menagerie, not in a mansion, actively protesting and boycotting in places where Faunus were being discriminated against.

And I've seen people try to argue against the idea that Blake never lived in the chieftan's mansion with "Then how did she know where to find her parents?" She very well could have been to Menagerie in the past and learned where the chieftan's mansion is. It's pretty damn hard to miss, considering it's a gigantic mansion among small clustered houses and it's the only house that has its own private yard.
