Last seen she was still in Vale, and in the Trailer for Volume 4 she was on a dock looking at the sea. Any thoughts? Omfg, we beat that dead horse in the last thread. I didn't see the trailer, so I'll take your word for it, but I feel like most of us have come to a consensus on what Blake'll be doing: she's gonna be on the run.

Adam threatened to destroy everything she holds dear and then effortlessly cut off Yang's arm as a demonstration of his resolve to follow through on his threat. She ran away to protect her friends from Adam, she's likely gonna be angsting a lot due to her decision to run away from her problems again, and she's gonna have that bow practically glued to her head to protect herself from what will likely be all-time-high anti-Faunus sentiment thanks to the WF participating in the fall of Beacon (which, might I remind you, was televised for all of Remnant to see thanks to Cinder hijacking the signal).

Her character arc in V4 will involve her learning to stop blaming herself for things that weren't really her fault and stop running away from her problems and her past (Adam, and by extension the White Fang) and face them head-on (apply directly to the forehead :P).

Wherever she ends up (I'm guessing Vacuo, cuz then RT'll have a member of team RWBY in each Kingdom), she'll probably be taking on some Huntress-ing-related odd jobs to support herself. And then, who knows? She could end up attacked by WF assassins who were sent not to kill her, but basically to let her know that Adam is watching her and that she can't hide from him anymore. Maybe that's where the dock from the trailer comes in: she's gotten her resolve back, maybe she's waiting on a boat to take her to one of the other Kingdoms, likely Vale. After all, it's implied she ran away first before Weiss's father even showed up to take Weiss back, and Blake's likely been living off the grid, so even if the Kingdoms found another way to communicate with each other, how would she know that Qrow's intel pointed to Haven or that Ruby went there with JN_R?

I'm of the mind that RWBY will spend the majority, if not the entirety, of the Volume apart, so I think that covers just about everything Blake-in-V4-related. Seriously though, I think we already covered what each girl will be doing in the next Volume pretty thoroughly (feels to me like more than once for some of them even) in the last thread.
