Blake. Blake is probably an Orphan which is why she joined the White Fang. This would make a whole lot of sense. Her having parents would have a huge backstory.

Weiss for all we know was born in a lab. Giving Weiss a mother isn't the direction especially since we saw her sister. The other thing is Weiss probably has a mother..most likely this is a plot device like she came from a richfamily.

Force Ghosts not welcome!

I also see Blake as an orphan. She always makes a big deal about inequality. So in my opinion, I think her parents died due to that very situation. Few examples: Died at a peaceful protest gone wrong, simple racist based murder, maybe even the questionable labor that the Schnee Company uses (like if it turns out dust collection is like mining).

I'm not sure about Weiss's mom. The fact she's never been mentioned makes me want to think she's dead. It's always father this and father that. So either mom died or left dad behind since he's been cast in a rather negative light. Otherwise the lack of commentary on a mother seems just like a poor writing error.

Anyhow, going back to Summer's death. Jeff Williams said he she was dead, and I believe he was given that information because he needed to write songs. Thus, I believe Red Like Roses II sheds some insight into her death. But that's something others have mentioned before.
