User blog comment:Mr. Ob(li)vious/Is Blake's character inconsistent?/@comment-198.1.0.221-20130921012400

I believe Blake is less the anti-social and withdrawn, and more the simple introvert. She doesn't go out of her way to make friends, but when she has she is one of the best friends a person can have. She doesn't have a problem speaking her mind, like telling off Weiss, but usually doesn't speak to people she doesn't know. Being on the same team with Ruby, who was the first one to truly talk to her, and Yang, who became her battle partner, let her open up with them, even if she is still introverted around others. The "mysterious" title that was attached to her may still hold true since not much is known about her past, but that doesn't mean she has to fall under the sullen and withdrawn stereotype that so many do in media. She was different than expected, but not entirely inconsistent.
