I'm not sure that it was shame, Gear. From my perspective, Blake is a lot more introverted and thus doesn't want to expend extra energy on dealing with racists and bullies just because she has a pair of cat ears on her head. Funny enough, introverted people are sometimes seen as being cat-like in personality. But yeah, I feel like, for her, being the subject of ridicule wouldn't so much be embarrassing or shame-filled, but more so annoying. She's at Beacon to learn, not get distracted by being treated like shit.
