Goggles just looks like a diva to me. She's prob. the confident and arrogent one - I'd make the Weiss connection with her, not Blades.

Blades, to me, looks... not nice. He just looks like he's been through the wringer, you know? I see him in the same way I see Trench Coat on Sun's team - a hardass who's likely expirenced some real fighting. People actually dying and the like. Maybe he lost someone (family?). If he is a human, and he has been through things he's rather not talk about, then my immediate reaction is "Well, it was the White Fang, wasn't it?"

If there's conflict on Velvet's team, I would say that it's between Blades and Velvet. He'll likely have problems with her (and Faunus in general) because the White Fang killed someone he loved. That's my guess, anyway, founded off Velvet's team's one second of screentime.
