Blake Belladonna/Quotes

"Black" Trailer
Don't be so dramatic... What about the crew members? Are you sure? Goodbye...

The Shining Beacon
Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company: one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world... The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners.

The Shining Beacon, Pt.2
Aren't you that girl that exploded? Yes - it's lovely! Almost as lovely as this book... That I will continue to read... As soon as you leave... Unfortunately, the real world isn't the same as a fairy tale.

Players and Pieces
Did your sister just fall from the sky? Did that girl just ride in on an Ursa? Did she just run all the way here with a Death Stalker on her tail? It's tougher than it looks!

The Badge and The Burden
(lifting her suitcase) We still have to unpack. (the suitcase opens, spilling its contents) Aaaand clean. It does seem efficient. Banzai!

The Badge and The Burden, Pt.2
Fight well!

Jaunedice
He's not the only one.

Jaunedice, Pt.2
Perhaps, if he'd paid attention in class, he wouldn't have been remembered as such a failure.

The Stray
The White Fang is hardly a bunch of psychopaths. They're a collection of misguided Faunus. Stop calling him a rapscallion! Stop calling him a degenerate! He's a person! There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin - people like YOU - that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures! Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around! So... you want to know more about me.

Black and White
We were being treated like equals, but not out of respect. Out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. Instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am, a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little, black bow. No, I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right. Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum? Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-

Welcome to Beacon
I was raised outside the kingdoms. If you can't fight, you can't survive. With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides. Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am. And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!

A Minor Hiccup
The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning.

Painting the Town...
The masks are a symbol. Humanity wanted to make monsters out of us, so we chose to don the faces of monsters.

Extracurricular
I don't have time for a stupid dance. I thought YOU of all people would get that.

Burning the Candle
You don't understand! I'm the only one who can do this! I knew you'd look better in a tie.

Field Trip
Please keep it away from my belongings.

Search and Destroy
There's too much wrong in this world to just stand by and do nothing. Inequality, corruption... Someone has to stop it.

Mountain Glenn
When I leave the Academy, what will I... how can I undo so many years of hate? I was born with the ability to leave behind a shadow of myself - an empty copy that takes the hit while I run away!

Round One
But she could!

Let's see. Grimm invasions, violent extremists, a destructive sociopath...

New Challengers...
Neptune's... afraid of the water. Emphasis on dork.

Destiny
I want to believe you...

I had someone very dear to me change. It wasn't in an instant, it was gradual - little choices that began to pile up. He told me not to worry. At first, they were accidents, then it was self-defense. Before long, even I began to think he was right. This is all just... very familiar. But you're not him. And you've never done anything like this before. So... I want to trust you. I will trust you. But first, I need you to look me in the eyes and tell me that he attacked you. I need you to promise me that you regret having to do what you did.

Heroes and Monsters
I'm not running. I never wanted this! I wanted equality! I wanted peace!

End of the Beginning
I'm sorry. I'm so sorry.

Of Runaways and Stowaways
Won't be needing this. Ugh. Just shut up and fight. Have you been following me?!

Menagerie
That's not the point, Sun! We asked to be equal, to be treated just like everyone else! Instead, we were given an island and told to make do. So we did the best we could. We came together and we made a home where any Faunus could feel welcome. But this island, this town, will always be a reminder that we're still not equal. That we're still second-class citizens. Who says I'm done fighting?

A Much Needed Talk
I should have left the White Fang with you and Mom. I should've listened to you, and I'm sorry. I'm so, so sorry. I told you, I'm not here to fight the White Fang, I'm not here to fight anyone. I'm here to rest, to figure things out, and to see my family.

Two Steps Forward, Two Steps Back
No, no, no, not again, please! Help! Somebody! Hold on, Sun, just hold on.

Taking Control
Shut up! Do you think I like being alone? Every day... every day I think about them! Ruby, Weiss, Yang... they were my friends! I loved them like I never thought I could love anybody. And I hope they hate me for leaving. Everyone thinks they can help me, but they can't. You saw Ilia last night and she's not even the worst! No. No more. They're better off without me. I made my choices and I'll deal with the consequences because they belong to me. We're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back.

Welcome to Haven
You're going to have to make me.

Necessary Sacrifice
Whatever happens at Haven is going to affect them whether they like it or not. If Adam gets his way and Haven falls, it's only going to make things worse for the Faunus. Everywhere. At first I thought Adam was "justice", then I thought he was "passion". But over time, I realized I was wrong. He wasn't any of those things. He was "spite". Not "hatred", not "rage", "spite". He won't accept equality, only suffering for what he feels the world did to him, and his way of thinking is dangerously contagious. It's about time I saved my friends for once.

Alone Together
Ilia, I know you're scared, but you don't have to be. My family and I, we can keep you safe. Because we're trying to protect people?! In what world do you live in where attacking the innocent is the right thing to do?!

True Colors
Humans didn't do this. We did this. Faunus. We did this to ourselves. We're just as capable of hate and violence as the humans but I don't think any of us would jump at the chance to point that out. So why are we letting Adam do it for us? By doing nothing and staying silent, we let others speak and act in our place. And if we're not proud of the choices they make, then we have no one to blame but ourselves.

This is the message Adam Taurus will bring to the world if no one stops him. But we can stop him! You have to understand that all of you are looking for simple answers to a very complicated problem, and I can't give that to you. I don't know how to make hate go away, I don't. But I know that this kind of violence is not the solution.

I understand that to ask you to leave your homes and protect Haven Academy is asking you to put your lives at risk, but that's what's at stake. So I'm going, and I'll stand by myself if I have to.

Downfall
This isn't what's right for the Faunus! Stop what you're doing and we can end this peacefully.

Haven's Fate
I’m here for Haven, not you.

You can try and make me regret coming here, Adam, but honestly… I’ve got more important things to deal with.

RWBY: Grimm Eclipse
Better and better. They never saw it coming. Did I look like I needed help?

Chapter 1
So the company's business relies on something they don't understand.

About Blake
The entire time Blake was at Beacon, she was afraid to open up to people. She tried to keep her past separated from us. She tried to protect us. Eventually, those walls she put up came down. And the moment they did, the one thing she was afraid of actually happened. The universe proved her right. She's learned a lesson that evaded me until I was much older - that there is strength in forgiveness. Because I run away too much.
