I think Blake is a cross bhreed of half-human and half-fauna, and is fighting with White Fang against the Schnee's to liberate the faunas, especially since white and black are contrasting colors, so Weiss and Blake contrast with each other, as well as their views, which keeps with the idea of their colors contrasting.

Also, Blake wears mostly black, but also white, possibly hinting towards contrast within herself, such as her possible cross-breed heritage between human and fauna, because of the contrast from the colors in her outfit.

I actually like the idea of Blake being a cross breed, as it would make her and the story more interesting, as well as making me like her more, due to the diversity of her heritage and the oppurtunities it creates, such as creating a rivalry with Weiss, whose family could oppose the fauna, and give the two of them character development as they learn to overcome diversity and accept each other the way they are.

I also like how Blake being half-fauna fits with the Beauty and the Beast story, with Blake having "Bella" in Belladonna, and it possibly being derived from belle, French for Beauty, which could reperesent her human side, while her being a fauna makes her a beast, meaning she is both a beauty and a beast, referencing her cross-breed heritage.
