Dude, dude, dude...

I hesitate to say this bluntly, but why don't you just assume that the 'black bow' is her faunu ears?

We have never established whether Blake's so-called 'black bow' is really just an accessory or a real pair of faunu ears. Since Beacon Academy actually has faunu students, its fair to assume that it is not a strange occurance for faunus to be walking around Beacon, just rare (like, the single Malay student in my old Chinese high school - although we ALL love him because he nearly failed his Islamic religion exam and speaks perfect Chinese XD). In that case, it is also normal for Blake to be a faunu student there, we just never see Team RWBY or JNPR bring it up as an issue, because it isn't an issue for them.

Just think about it. Blake's 'black bow' already makes like what, 99% of the viewers suspect that she's a faunu. It definitely gave her a feline look at least. So obviously the people in RWBY world would also recognize that Blake looked like a faunu, if not is a faunu already.

So tell me. Suppose that her black bow is an accessory to hide her faunu ears. What is the bloody point to wear an acessory that makes you look like a faunu, when you're trying to hide the fact that you are a faunu?? Why not assume outright that if Blake's a faunu, and she has no need to worry about her origin in Beacon, that the 'black bow' may be her faunu ears themselves?
