I wouldn't be surprised if we see a Vulcan-like trope where Blake is so cold and intellectual because she's afraid of her more animal side and is trying to control it by totally denying her feelings. She isn't very good at it which only makes her insecurity and fear worse. Good link, there.

But I feel like if Blake were going to have that kind of identity crisis, she would have had it before making up her mind to go to Beacon. But I really can't say, since Blake's background is something we know almost nothing about.
