Before this Episode, I've always toyed about with the idea that, Blake is a Faunu or half-Faunu, and if that's the case then her parents are one Faunu one Human, or both Human.

It hasn't changed since then. But, considering the possibility that Blake may be a full Faunu, I come to toy with another idea: That Blake was adopted into a Human family.

This is of course, referring to the scene where Blake was crying under the statue. Honestly, there are many ways to interpret this, and they are pretty much similar to one another except a couple of details:

1) Blake looks up to see the Human life that she so wanted, a life free from discrimination, and look down to remember that like the Grimm, she could never escape her own flesh and blood, her own race. That she is a Faunu no matter what.

2) Same sentiment, except that (with reference to Sorairo's theory that the Faunu may be part Grimm) Blake was reminded that she could never escape the fact that as a Faunu, she is as despised and hated as a Grimm - and perhaps exactly because the Faunus are part Grimm.

3) This is a slightly more refreshing one. When Blake look up to the human statues, she was reminded of a happier childhood where her adoptive parents - both Humans - had taught her love and care and happiness. But when she look down, she was reminded that nothing lasts forever, and that her own blood - her own identity as a Faunu - had been the cause of the destruction of her happiness, and perhaps her parents' life along with it.

Perhaps this was why Blake joined the White Fang. Perhaps that once upon a time, the Humans hated and discriminated Faunus enough that they would torment even their own kind, the Humans who took Blake in and cared for her, and it ultimately resulted in a terrible tragedy.

This may have been the reason that prompted Blake to join a group as radical as the White Fang - she should've known that it was always radical; its original objective should be something like, "to force away all humans from our land and create a true, Faunu only country". If the Humans are mad enough to kill their own kind just because she was a Faunu, then why should she have mercy for them?

But Blake was a gentle and compassionate girl, in the end. Whoever her guardian was (I'm referring to her parents, and any kind seniors that might've guided her way), they were truly good people who had taught Blake not to hate. Perhaps her parents had even told her not to seek revenge as they died... Nobody knows. Not until the next episode, anyway, and even then we may not know much of anything.
