 * facepalm* Good God, I should have known better than to besmirch the good name of the sacred Blake Belladonna. I mean, I suggested that the person trying to conceal the details of her history, including her very identity, might have lied about more of her past than the parts of her past she was already lying about. *gasp* How dare I do that?!

All I was saying is that we have to consider that it was just a story. Obviously, living outside the kingdoms and Menagerie is a thing as Blake would not have used it as an excuse otherwise. However, there is no reason to believe it is Blake's thing, since she was saying it to avoid giving the real reason for her combat proficiency.

Her being raised outside the kingdom would certainly not jive well with her history in the White Fang. I can scarcely imagine that there is much time for rallies and boycotts when you are living in an area where you have to fight to survive. Ozpin even sort of casts doubt on her statement when he says "Well, you most certainly have survived" as though to imply, "but it was not living outside the kingdoms you had to survive."
