2. even Sun's "and the best part is she's a faunus" coment may suggest this.

3. 2 people whom Blake counted as friends DIED within the same 24hrs as Yang losing her arm, and yet, its Yang losing her arm that hurts Blake the most. 1. Blake has spent more emotional plot time with Yang, while nothing particularly emotional happened to Blake while Sun was around until Ilia electrocuted him. The only things that happened to Blake while Sun was around were


 * She found out the White Fang really were behind the Dust thefts, and while this hit her, the fact that she already knew it was a possibility and was simply hoping softened the blow.


 * She attended the White Fang rally where she found out that the WF was getting very militarized thanks to Roman providing them with military equipment, but there was no time to get emotional about it. She needed to get out of there and tell the rest of her team. The fact that Roman chased them in a Paladin gave her even less time to dwell on it or be emotional.


 * Sun asked her to the dance, and she was like "Rawr, the White Fang and Roman are doing evil things, the dance is a stupid thing to care about right now!!!"


 * She went to the dance with Sun, danced with both him and Yang, and hung out with Sun and Neptune and was clearly having fun and enjoying the dance.


 * Sun was there while she apologized to Yang, and then he saw her run away off-screen.


 * Their whole arc in Volume 4 was pretty much Blake going "No, I want distance between me and my friends so none of you get hurt! Wtf are you doing here, Sun?! Damn it, you ruined my plan, damn it damn it damn it!" and Sun going "I'm here to back you up in case something happens!"


 * And then Sun got hurt by Ilia to the point where he was actually bleeding, and he was unconscious due to having been electrocuted. Blake was extremely worried and upset about this. When he woke up, she finally told him that she left specifically because of things like that - her friends getting hurt by White Fang members because of her.

So, yeah, she has had more emotional highs and lows with Yang around, but that is due to Sun, for the most part, not actually being in scenes where the plot gave her these emotional highs and lows.

2. I've explained this before, his line of "And the best part is, she's a Faunus" is the best part about his story, not her. He was telling Neptune about the night at the docks when he fought the White Fang and Roman with her.

3. Yes, but neither of those friends were murdered by the White Fang, and neither of them died specifically because they were trying to help her. Yang lost her arm because she was trying to protect her from Adam, a White Fang member who Blake had a close association with and who attacked Yang literally just because she's friends with Blake. Sun got stabbed all the way through his shoulder and out his back and was electrocuted by Ilia, a White Fang member who Blake had close association with, specifically because he was there to help Blake against her.
