A traditional trope is that yellow-eyed characters are naturally cunning, sneaky and subtle. Blake demonstrated this by following Yang in the trees and staying out of the fight until Yang had tenderised the Beobears for a while and then taking the last one out from behind.

Blake isn't a coward, the Black Trailer demonstrates that. However, she clearly is a very tactical thinker and I wouldn't be surprised if back-stabs from the shadows become a signature move for her.

Ruby's grey eyes are another (now virtually extinct) trope - grey-eyed characters are often portrayed as the ultimate innocents; this fits in with Monty's comment that Ruby is fearless literally because she's too innocent to understand and fear death.
