2. (Also, apparenlty some volume 1 fans didn't think she was a faunus?  Even though her theme song goes "I'm a faunus / I'm a faunus / I'm saying I'm a faunus.") 1. Actually, she's technically not a princess. Also, she didn't even live in that mansion until Volume 4.

According to the Albain brothers, Ghira became chieftan after he and Kali left the White Fang, and from what Blake has said and what we've seen in Adam's character short, Blake did not go with them when they left. This means that Ghira and Kali left the White Fang and moved into the chieftan's mansion, while Blake stayed in the White Fang and did not live with them.

A lot of the time, when I explain this, people are like "Then how did she know where to find her parents?" In a village where literally everyone except the chieftan lives in a teeny tiny house, it's pretty easy to find the chieftan's mansion. She has probably even visited Menagerie before.

And contrary to what some people believe, she didn't spend her life in Menagerie either. She told Sun that she participated in protests and boycotts with the White Fang when she was growing up, which means she traveled to other places in Remnant with Ghira and the rest of the White Fang. There's no reason to do a protest or boycott in Menagerie.

2. Yep, the fandom was pretty much split between "Blake's a Faunus" and "Blake's not a Faunus" back then. On her page here on the wiki, we decided to be safe and just label her as a human until she revealed her cat ears.
