So Blake is the daughter of the former White Fang leader and probably chieftain of Menagerie. Now it's all complete. All the members of RWBY are very important people and JNPR probably too:

Ruby Rose - Descendant of the (literally) legendary silver-eyed warriors

Weiss Schnee - Heiress of the Schnee Dust Company

Blake Belladonna - Mentioned above

Yang Xiao Long - Bastard child of the current leader of a feared bandit tribe.

Jaune Arc - Heir of the Arc household, a large family of heroes.

Pyrrha Nikos - The strongest underage huntress of her generation.

Lie Ren and Nora Valkyrie - Orphans = Probably the surviving/missing children of important people.
