(Trivia: apperently the jury's still out on what happened. A visiting Aussie told me they found out the mother did it while officially it was the dingo. Just random shit I wanted to share).

As for Blake, she's not exactly super wealthy. The house is certainly fancy, but it seems to have a lot of empty space. It's really just a glorified two-story, Japanese aesthetic house. It's more than what most people have in Menagarie, but it's far from White Castle's 3 blocks wide, 5 story tall mansion. Also, she must have had to interact regularly to get groceries and help around town, they aren't entirely isolated (though they seem to not be able to get information outside of the kingdom, especially with the CCT down). She also was born into the White Fang, so she might have had some indoctrination on top of her personal experiences. It's far more than what most people have period, Faunus or human. As far as the possibility of it being a "Chieftan's mansion" I have my doubts. The fact she calls it "home" is part of the reason. In Volume 1 she says their previous leader stepped down five years prior and, as I understand it, Blake left the White Fang roughly a year earlier. She had apparently not left Vale since she soon started at Beacon. You would be talking about maybe four years at most and a lot of it presumably spent elsewhere with the White Fang. It actually makes perfect sense that the former leader of the White Fang would have a large mansion, especially if he was the original founder. One would need a lot of resources to found such a group and those would be the kinds of resources that could pay for a very large house. Not being as big as the Schnee manor does not make a lot of difference when you are living in shacks and huts. Just compare it to the Xialong home and it is obvious Blake's family is much better off than even more successful humans.
