I doubt it is something as petty as bullying. Agreed. We got a definite implication that White Fang is a Faunus extremist organization. Perhaps Blake is worried about her connections to them (if there are any) and is laying low as a human to avoid detection. It's a possibility, but I think she's hiding more than that. If she had connections to White Fang, she was presumably wrecking the train from the black trailer for them. But for an organization like White Fang, they probably want to attract as much attention as possible. So why would Blake be hiding her ears then? The only reason I can see is that there's a scar or some other injury she's ashamed of or something. Could be what Adam has behind his mask too. I agree with the WC above me--she did work for White Fang, but got sick of it and went on the run. Now she's laying low for a while.

As for Adam's mask, it occured to me that he might actually be blind and somehow uses the mask to sense enemies. Of course, he fights just like he would if he could see, but the added knowledge that he's blind just makes him that more badass. Like Toph. There's actually an "old" RWBY fic with the premise that he is blind, though it is rather dark. It mainly ships him and blake, but the sad part is that when she leaves him, although he knows she's gone, he can't tell what directino he went, or where she is going. :(
