I actually found the moments surrounding Blake to be very informative despite the lack of focus on her. During her first introduction, she is able to move in and break up a fight between Ruby and Weiss right before it became physical (she arrives just as Ruby starts to fight back). She basically deflects all of Weiss' anger away from Ruby and eventually gets her to back off, beating Weiss and saving Ruby from Weiss' anger. Then as soon as Weiss leaves, she leaves as well having done what she meant to do; not even caring for recognition from Ruby. We also learn of her world-view in relation to Ruby right before the initiation.

Then during it, we see that Blake acts very "above it all," not really caring for the test like it is no challenge at all and commenting on the weirdness around her, but quickly gets serious when the Nevermore arrives. Then during classes, she seems much more open and goes along with a lot of Ruby and Yang's ideas. This seems really out of character for her from what we saw earlier, but it could be Blake trying to fit in more by playing a part that would allow the team to feel more comfortable around her. The last two episodes however just expanded on her character more.

Anyway, we got a little off topic here.
