We don't even know how high up Blake was. I mean even if Blake was a member, that doesn't mean she knew every operation they White Fang had going on.

As far as searching them out, they had stopped to look at a crime scene and just saw two cops absently blame the White Fang for the robbery. When she was a member, they wouldn't rob a Dust should and would more likely just burn it down or something (but only if they didn't serve Faunus). Ruby also mentions it was probably Roman as it matches his robbery earlier in the season. Blake pretty much wanted to confirm that it wasn't the White Fang as she didn't want to believe it was them and was saddened to find out that it was. She wasn't looking for them as you claim, she was looking for the person who was robbing the Dust shops in the area and was hoping it wasn't the White Fang. Unfortunately for her, it did turn out to be them, but under orders from Roman and no good can come from that.

I also don't think your version fits better. They wouldn't send in a first year student to spy on the Hunters at the school. They would be much better off sending in a teacher or just straight up spying on them. Blake is also never seen actively gaining information on anyone. Plus if this one branch of the White Fang needed help, why not just go to the Hunters? It is their job to protect the peace so why not ask them to aid in taking down the current leaders?

As far as Blake's bow, why wouldn't she wear it all the time? Faunus aren't exactly liked (even before the White Fang became violent) so if I could hide something that hid my nature, I would wear it all the time. I don't agree with several of your points.

1. Blake did not become a member at 12, the organisation changed their leadership then she specifically say the she was there before.

2. Not send a first year student? She's been in the white fang organisation forever they must have confidence in her.

3. getting a faunus teacher in the school might be much more difficult than getting a student in.

4. Now your showing Blake as inconsistent. She fights for her Faunus right but is ashamed to show herself? The reason she gave for her bow was to hide her afiliation with the Fang in plain sight. Velvet isn't afraid to show her ears, why not her?

It's obvious you don't agree with me but I think both our views are valid here. We'll see who's right in season 2 (won't happen in volume 2) But again mark my words, something is not kosher here.
