If Blake is half-fauna like a good portion of this wiki thinks,  I have reason to think that would make her more of an outcast then being a full fauna. I grew up in the American South, my grandfather can be huge racist at times, so I grew up hearing racism. I am by no means one. But growing up knowing that I know that sometimes people who are mixed races get more hate then the opposed race. Since they are neither. But how this applies to Blake is if she is Half-fauna half-human then she is neither race. And if the racism-oppression is as bad as the only a few seconds of knowing about it would have it seem then the Fauna wouldn’t want something that is part human in heritage and same goes for the humans.

The song “Half-Breed” by Cher is a good example of this.

So I think if she is half-fauna. It would be something she would want to keep secret at least for a while. I think the rest of the team would react well to that. Ruby being her adorable self and Yang saying that they have her back. Weiss is the one that I think would be a bit racist towards fauna, but I think she would put that aside to stay with her friends.

But any thoughts on it?
