That said, I don't think anyone on RWBY is going to want to kill someone in the end. We agree, though for different reasons. The key is that Blake left the White Fang so whatever she did while a member should not be seen as of immediate relevance to what she would do after leaving. In my thinking, her desire to become a huntress is basically a redemption quest. Killing people would not be consistent with that desire.

Blake's not going back, if for no other reason than they can't be trusted not to kill her to send a message to anyone else thinking of leaving. Not sure how much you can infer from what happened with Tukson. Blake clearly left when the White Fang were not working with Cinder and Roman, at least not to the knowledge of the general membership. We have no idea how they dealt with people leaving prior to that, if they dealt with it. Roman being tasked with dealing with Tukson only for Emerald and Mercury to handle it instead suggests it was not a White Fang thing, but a Cinder thing. Were it a White Fang thing there would surely be enough spare manpower to deal with one dude. How Cinder would handle a member returning is a separate question.
