I initially rejected the 'anthro' theory because Blake's 'ears' were so obviously her hair bow. However, that screen shot from episode one intregues me. I wonder if they may be a geneticall-engineered laborour race. Like all slave races, everyone thought that their subservience was the natural order of things... until they started to rebel.

If Blake is one of these hybrids (assuming that is what they are and the ears and horns aren't an ironic reference on their part to the 'We Are Not Animals' tag-line) then she may be one of  the first of her kind to attend Beacon Academy, which means she might face racism and prejudice.
