The Devil&#039;s Advocate WP wrote: Main difference between them aside from her apparent lack of a tragic backstory is Blake's background was largely a mystery until Volume 4. All we knew was vague information about her having been in the White Fang and that she did some criminal stuff. The extent of that is still almost completely untouched and now there is not as much reason to touch it should Adam be dead. What we have is a girl with a whole and loving family who are pretty well-off relative to even most humans yet still goes on about oppression and racism as if it is a life-or-death personal struggle. Nothing they have done has really done away with that impression of her as the one true spoiled brat in the group, unlike Weiss who was wrongly maligned for the first three Volumes. All I can say they have managed is to make her less annoying than she was previously. Considering that Blake has been out there standing against whatever discrimination is going on, first using peaceful methods with Ghira and the other members, and then going on sabotage missions with Adam and co, I think the best they can do now is just show what she has seen personally and make it clear that she wasn't living a life of luxury all those years, but was rather seeing whatever it is the White Fang has been fighting against firsthand.
