I am just going to reiterate that there is no reason to believe Blake was actually raised outside the kingdoms. She offered that as an explanation for her incredible combat abilities because she did not want to admit that she spent years fighting for a violent terrorist organization. We don't have any reason to suspect she was telling the truth about being from outside the kingdoms since she was already lying to Ozpin by suggesting that it was the reason for her battle prowess. It doesn't really fit with her story of being at the front of every rally organized by the White Fang as those presumably would have been inside the kingdoms like the Faunus Civil Rights Protest. Many of Blake's stories do not match up with what we know and she spent months deceiving her closest friends about her very identity. Why people just assume she was honest about being "raised outside the kingdoms" is beyond me.
