Perhaps Faunus were like their first draft and it wasn't quite what they wanted.

Also I know this is kind of off pace with the conversation and coming out of left field...but I've been rewatching all of RWBY after introducing two of my friends to the show and my friend voice an opinion which I found myself grudgingly matching was that Blake's character...is kind of the worst out of the main four...and that if anything having Illia been the main focus from the start would have made the whole Faunus in disguise thing much more interesting, which he noted after learning about Ilia and her backstory. So thoughts on that?

Her character would have to be completely different for that to work. Blake's problem, in my opinion, is that we have yet to get any idea as to why she would get roped into the violence of the new White Fang. Outside it being her family's organization, there is no compelling motive presented. The status of her family makes her overall less sympathetic as a resistance fighter. She seems more like someone who was sort of playing at being a revolutionary when it was clean and safe, but quit when she realized it was serious business rather than a game.
