She wears a helmet and could be Faunus herself, and that may be the reason why Blake looks up to the statue and takes off her bow. That is an interesting idea. Maybe the Faunus were allies againt the Grimm in the last Great War against the Dark (mostly because the humans were losing, badly). In exchange for their help, the Faunus expected equality. What they got was an attempt to restrict them to a reservation and, when they objected, a war.

To someone like Blake, a reminder of the last time that the humans and faunus worked together to a common goal must be a profoundly bittersweet thing.
