Perhaps Blake knows or remembers something about her mother, and it ties into the White Fang (perhaps she was kidnapped, killed by them without Weiss' knowledge [or even they didn't do it and they were framed] or her mother left something behind for her). Well, in my fic (note the shameless plug), she dies tragically of illness, but there is more to it than that. She is not killed by the White Fang, because I feel that is far too overdone.
