Weiss Schnee, heiress to the Schnee Dust Company: one of the largest producers of energy propellant in the world... The same company infamous for its controversial labor forces and questionable business partners.
There's no such thing as pure evil! Why do you think they hate Humanity so much? It's because of people like Cardin - people like YOU - that force the White Fang to take such drastic measures!
We were being treated like equals, but not out of respect. Out of fear. So, I left. I decided I no longer wanted to use my skills to aid in their violence. Instead, I would dedicate my life to becoming a Huntress. So here I am, a criminal hiding in plain view, all with the help of a little, black bow.
”
—Blake, telling Sun why she left the White Fang
“
No, I think deep down I knew. I just didn't want to be right.
”
—Blake, on her suspicion on the White Fang's activities
“
Brothers of the White Fang! Why are you aiding this scum?
”
—Blake, to the White Fang with Roman
“
Weiss, I want you to know that I'm no longer associated with the White Fang. Back when I was with the-
With all due respect, you need to start taking some larger strides. Until then, I'd rather avoid any unnecessary attention. I want people to see me for who I am, not what I am.
”
—Blake, to Ozpin on keeping her identity a secret
“
And we may never be ready! Our enemies aren't just going to sit around and wait for graduation day. They're out there, somewhere, planning their next move, and none of us know what it is, but it's coming! Whether we're ready or not!
The White Fang has regular faction meetings to hand out orders and recruit new members. If I can get in, I can hopefully find out what they're planning.
I had someone very dear to me change. It wasn't in an instant, it was gradual - little choices that began to pile up. He told me not to worry. At first, they were accidents, then it was self-defense. Before long, even I began to think he was right. This is all just... very familiar. But you're not him. And you've never done anything like this before. So... I want to trust you. I will trust you. But first, I need you to look me in the eyes and tell me that he attacked you. I need you to promise me that you regret having to do what you did.
That's not the point, Sun! We asked to be equal, to be treated just like everyone else! Instead, we were given an island and told to make do. So we did the best we could. We came together and we made a home where any Faunus could feel welcome. But this island, this town, will always be a reminder that we're still not equal. That we're still second-class citizens.
Shut up! Do you think I like being alone? Every day... every day I think about them! Ruby, Weiss, Yang... they were my friends! I loved them like I never thought I could love anybody. And I hope they hate me for leaving.
”
—Blake's reason for leaving her friends behind, to Sun
“
Everyone thinks they can help me, but they can't. You saw Ilia last night and she's not even the worst! No. No more. They're better off without me. I made my choices and I'll deal with the consequences because they belong to me.
”
—Blake, to Sun
“
My hero.
”
—Blake, to Sun
“
We're not going to destroy the White Fang. We're going to take it back.
Whatever happens at Haven is going to affect them whether they like it or not. If Adam gets his way and Haven falls, it's only going to make things worse for the Faunus. Everywhere.
”
—Blake on the consequences of Adam's impending assault
“
At first I thought Adam was "justice", then I thought he was "passion". But over time, I realized I was wrong. He wasn't any of those things. He was "spite". Not "hatred", not "rage", "spite". He won't accept equality, only suffering for what he feels the world did to him, and his way of thinking is dangerously contagious.
Humans didn't do this. We did this. Faunus. We did this to ourselves. We're just as capable of hate and violence as the humans but I don't think any of us would jump at the chance to point that out. So why are we letting Adam do it for us? By doing nothing and staying silent, we let others speak and act in our place. And if we're not proud of the choices they make, then we have no one to blame but ourselves.
This is the message Adam Taurus will bring to the world if no one stops him. But we can stop him! You have to understand that all of you are looking for simple answers to a very complicated problem, and I can't give that to you. I don't know how to make hate go away, I don't. But I know that this kind of violence is not the solution.
I understand that to ask you to leave your homes and protect Haven Academy is asking you to put your lives at risk, but that's what's at stake. So I'm going, and I'll stand by myself if I have to.
”
—Blake, giving a speech to the Faunus of Menagerie
If he went back to the White Fang there would have been serious consequences. But, he never really liked people telling him what to do. Adam's strong, but his real power comes from control. He used to get in my head, make me feel small. But now I see he just wanted to pull me down to his size.
”
—Blake, to Yang about Adam
“
Hey, I'm not leaving. And if we ever see him again, I promise I'll be there. [...] And I'll protect you
I'm not sure there are many good options left for any of us anymore. Keeping secrets, taking lives? It makes you wonder how far we're gonna have to go to keep doing the right thing.
”
—Blake, to Yang about keeping secret about Salem
“
I know. But next time, I wanna make sure we don't have to, and I can tell you, ambushing a Huntress who's just trying to help isn't an option I'm thrilled about choosing.
When you've been at someone's side for so long, after a while they become a part of you. But that's just it, they're only a part of you. Don't forget about the rest.
I know you don't always know what to do, but that's never stopped you from doing something. I was like that as a girl, but time and... a lot of other things, took their toll on me. Then I wasn't sure if that kind of girl could actually survive in the world... until I met you. It was a little strange at first because you were younger, but I've always looked up to you, Ruby. And I still do.
A simple life wouldn’t be my life! My family, my friends, my culture. I belong to them, just as much as they belong to me. To give that all away wouldn’t be simplicity, it would be betrayal.
I'll feel a lot better when we’re together on that platform.
”
—Blake, to Yang
“
Maybe it's...saying things we never said, to each other.
”
—Blake, to Yang
“
I - I think you’re an extraordinary person. You're always the first to lighten a situation, you act bravely when you’re afraid, you do what you say.
”
—Blake to Yang
“
Did you just think of something but didn't say it?
”
—Blake, to Yang
“
Just say it, Yang.
”
—Blake, encouraging Yang
“
I love you too.
”
—Blake, confessing to Yang
About Blake[]
“
Lately, you've been quiet, antisocial, and moody... which I get is kind of your thing, but you've been doing it more than usual.
”
—Weiss, to Blake in "Welcome to Beacon"
“
Always sunshine and rainbows with you...
”
—Sun, ironically, to Blake in "Painting the Town..."
“
The entire time Blake was at Beacon, she was afraid to open up to people. She tried to keep her past separated from us. She tried to protect us. Eventually, those walls she put up came down. And the moment they did, the one thing she was afraid of actually happened. The universe proved her right.
”
—Weiss to Yang, about Blake in "Alone Together"
“
Because I run away too much.
”
—Blake to Ilia, on why she did not leave Menagerie in "True Colors"
“
She's learned a lesson that evaded me until I was much older - that there is strength in forgiveness.
”
—Ghira to Saber, after Blake allows Ilia to travel to Haven in "True Colors"
“
It's simple really. You could be human, or just a cat if you want. Really, it's up to you.
”
—Illusion of younger Blake talking to real Blake
“
It's simple. Much simpler than trying to be a bridge between Humans and Faunus. Why struggle with that responsibility?
”
—Illusion of younger Blake talking to real Blake
“
Isn't that what you wanted...to be something simpler?
”
—Illusion of younger Blake talking to real Blake
“
You have cat ears!... I think your cat ears are cute
