I feel that your also not taking into account the change in the white fang.She supported the peaceful White fang.The one that weekend freedom though non violent methods.This is quite obviously not the white fang were dealing with now.Can you imagine what it must have felt like?To see your family change into people you don't recognize anymore?People so consumed by they're anger and hate that they feel justified doing anything to get they're freedom.

I have to agree with Diego.Wesis and Blake are no better or worse than eacth in terms of moral standing. It is not really about morality. My only point is to explain why I think Weiss would be more likely to choose RWBY over the SDC than Blake would be to choose RWBY over the White Fang. Blake would have had trouble leaving the White Fang, but it is a lot different from leaving one's flesh and blood family. Particularly, Weiss is an heiress who would be widely known by name and likely by appearance. Blake is largely an unknown. Both would have to find someone else to take them in or find a way to make it on their own, but it would be a lot easier for Blake to do those things than Weiss.

Blake stayed so long for personal and emotional reasons, while Weiss stays with her family because they are her blood. What differentiates them is that Blake made a choice on some level to be part of the White Fang and remain a part of it long after they resorted to violence. At no point did Weiss have anything resembling a choice about who would be her family and leaving would not change blood. The point is that Blake wanted to be in the White Fang on some level, while Weiss basically just had to accept what she was given.

The pull is greater for Blake because on some level she still believes in what the White Fang represents, despite what they have done. Only pull the Schnee family has on Weiss is that they are blood and often times that is just not enough, especially if one's blood makes them feel worse than people who are not blood.
