As much as I don't like Blake myself (I still need to catch up on Vols 4 and 5), I still gotta give Blake credit where credit is due. Her running away from her friends believing that she'd attract the danger Adam would bring away from them definitely beats Raven walking out on her lover and child because she didn't want to get involved in the war against Salem and her forces.

There's also the key difference that, whenever Blake runs away from something (namely her problems), she feels bad. She felt bad for running out on her parents to join the radicalized White Fang, which she later apologized for, and she felt bad for running out on her friends to keep Adam away from them. Even though she felt like she was doing the right thing driving Adam away from "everything she loves," she still felt bad for running out on the people who promised to stick by her anyway. Running is an instinctual response for her when faced with a problem and yet she still regrets doing it when she realizes it hurts somebody. Whereas, from what little I know of Raven from Chishio's comment, Raven doesn't regret abandoning her lover and child for self-preservation.

Then again, what do I know? I'm just going off what I remember from the first 3 volumes and I'm still contemplating over whether to get back into RWBY or not. I probably will just to see both Yang and Wiess' character growth and to see if Blake gets less annoying to me.
