Blake Belladonna's Re-education!

Personality (Volumes 1–3) During the early volumes, Blake is defined by her reserved nature, internal conflict, and fierce ideological convictions.

Introverted and Aloof: She starts out seemingly apathetic and prefers the company of books over people. She uses her quiet demeanor as a shield to keep others at a distance.

Guilt-Ridden and Fearful: Having recently defected from the extremist Faunus rights group, the White Fang, Blake carries immense guilt. Her primary defense mechanism is running away from her problems and past attachments to protect herself and others.

Strong Righteous Streak: Despite her quietness, Blake will fiercely stand her ground when discussing morality, social injustice, or Faunus discrimination. She is highly cynical of systemic oppression, famously clashing with Weiss Schnee early on regarding the Schnee Dust Company's practices.

Hidden Warmth: As she bonds with her teammates, she reveals a deeply caring, protective side. She is driven by a passionate, almost naive desire to make the world a better, more equal place.

Character Design (Volumes 1–3) Designed by show creator Monty Oum, Blake’s original look blends a "goth-ninja" aesthetic with feline motifs that hint at her hidden Faunus identity.

The Black Ribbon Bow: Her most defining visual anchor is a large, black, twin-tailed bow worn on top of her head. It is a narrative and literal disguise, used to hide her feline Faunus ears from a heavily biased human society.

Tuxedo Cat Color Palette: Her clothing heavily features a high-contrast black and white palette. The specific cut of her black buttoned vest with long coattails paired with her white sleeveless undershirt is designed to mimic the patterns of a tuxedo cat..

The Outfit: She wears a white high-necked crop top under her black vest, paired with white zippered shorts. Her thighs feature her personal emblem (a fading belladonna flower), and she wears full stockings that transition into a purple color gradation near her ankles.

Physical Features: She has pale skin, striking amber eyes, and long, wavy black hair that conceals a small, magnetic backpack used to house her signature weapon, Gambol Shroud.

Stealth Elements: Her arms feature detached sleeves with wrapped black ribbons on her forearms, accentuating her agile, ninja-style fighting movements and shadow-clone Semblance.

Feline Body Language

Ear Twitching: Her cat ears (hidden beneath her bow) twitch dynamically based on her mood. They droop when she is sad, perk up when she is alert, and flatten back against her head when she is threatened or angry.

The "Cat Pounce": In combat and low-stakes moments, she naturally drops into a low, crouched stance before leaping, mimicking a hunting cat.

Laser Pointer Distraction: She is completely unable to resist tracking a laser pointer. In Volume 2, Yang uses a red laser pointer on a chalkboard, and Blake's eyes lock onto it, her head darting back and forth in a classic cat trance until she realizes she is being teased.

Dietary Preferences

Obsession with Fish: Blake loses all of her usual stoic composure around seafood.The Tuna Melt: Her absolute favorite meal is a tuna melt. When she sees or smells fish, her eyes widen, and she follows the food around the room with intense, single-minded focus.Sardine Cans: In Volume 2, when the team is eating at the Beacon cafeteria, she ignores the typical school food to eat straight out of a can of sardines.

Dislikes and Quirks

Canine Dislike (Zwei): When Ruby introduces her pet corgi, Zwei, Blake immediately climbs to the top of her bunk bed to get as far away from him as possible. She glares down at him with intense suspicion, displaying a classic cat-versus-dog rivalry.

Curiosity: True to the old phrase, Blake is highly observant, quiet, and likes to watch situations unfold from a distance or an elevated position before getting involved.

She is 18+.

All of the rules and thing Team RWBY did wrong.

1. The Highway Chase and Massive Property Damage (Volume 2, Episode 4)The Transgression: After being explicitly told by Professor Ozpin and General Ironwood to leave the investigation to the professionals, Team RWBY launches an illegal, undercover vigilante operation. This culminates in a high-speed chase on a public highway where Team RWBY fights Roman Torchwick in an Atlesian Paladin-290 mech.The Damage: The battle results in the total destruction of public highway infrastructure, countless crushed civilian vehicles, and extreme public endangerment.The Leniency: In the following episode, safely back at Beacon, the team expects to be expelled. Instead, Professor Ozpin completely dismisses the property damage and vigilante behavior, stating he is glad they chose to look into the situation and simply tells them to go get some rest.

2. Ruby’s Cross-Continental Infiltration and Trespassing (Volume 2, Episodes 7-8)The Transgression: During the Cross Continental Transmit (CCT) system tower infiltration, Ruby sneaks out past curfew, breaks into a high-security government facility, and engages a masked Cinder Fall in combat. When confronted by Ironwood and Ozpin, she lies about why she was there, claiming she just went for a walk and got lost.The Leniency: Despite knowing she was lying and trespassing in a highly restricted area, Ozpin does not punish Ruby. Instead, he uses her "scouting report" to bend academy rules, letting Team RWBY take a high-risk first-year mission to Mountain Glenn early with Professor Oobleck as their supervisor.

3. The Breach of Vale (Volume 2, Episodes 11-12)The Transgression: While on their mission in Mountain Glenn, Ruby falls through a hole into the underground tunnels, gets captured, and inadvertently accelerates the White Fang's timeline. This triggers a runaway train loaded with explosives to smash into the heart of Vale, blowing a massive hole in the city walls and letting waves of deadly Grimm flood a heavily populated civilian zone. The Leniency: Even though their mission was a technical failure that led to a major terrorist attack, Team RWBY faces zero accountability. Because they assisted in cleaning up the immediate Grimm threat alongside other hunters, they are treated as heroes. The structural failure and massive risk to human life are pinned entirely on Roman Torchwick, while Team RWBY is given a pass.

4. General Disregard for Curfew and Rules (Volume 1) The Transgression: In Volume 1, Blake runs away into the city of Vale after revealing she was a former White Fang member. Ruby and Weiss spend days illegally combing the city for her instead of reporting a missing student to the school staff. This culminates in a massive, unauthorized dockside firefight against the White Fang.The Leniency: When they return to campus, no disciplinary action is taken regarding Blake's criminal past, their multiple curfew violations, or the unauthorized dockside brawl. Ozpin is fully aware of Blake's past but grants her complete amnesty without consequence.

5. Weiss and Ruby's Severe Collateral Damage at a Public Restaurant (Volume 3, Episode 1) The Transgression: While celebrating their first-round Vytal Festival victory at a noodle shop, Team RWBY gets into a petty argument over the bill. Weiss summons a giant spectral arm to grab the shop owner, while Ruby uses her speed semblance to snatch his wallet. This causes a massive, chaotic scene that physically wrecks the restaurant stall and sends food and property flying.The Leniency: While played for comedic effect, they commit blatant property damage and strong-armed robbery against a civilian business owner. Because the Vytal Festival tournament is actively running and distraction levels are high, no authorities or tournament officials ever fine or discipline them for the public disruption.

6. Ruby’s Illegal Infiltration of an Active Military Warship (Volume 3, Episode 11)The Transgression: When the Grimm and White Fang launch their attack on Beacon, the airwaves are flooded with emergency orders. Instead of staying with her classmates or following civilian evacuation protocols, Ruby takes it upon herself to use a locker rocket to launch onto General Ironwood’s flagship, the Atlesian Overlord. This is a highly restricted, active military vessel in the middle of a war zone.The Leniency: Under normal martial law, sneaking onto a flagship during a surprise terrorist attack would result in immediate arrest or lethal force by defensive androids. However, because Neo and Roman Torchwick have already hijacked the ship and hacked the robots, the military command structure completely collapses. Ruby's illegal trespassing goes unpunished because there is no military left to court-martial her.

7. Blake and Sun’s Unlicensed Nighttime Vigilante Stalking (Volume 3, Episode 1)The Transgression: Following up on their illegal investigations from Volume 2, Blake and Sun spend their free time during a massive international festival covertly tracking and spying on suspected White Fang members in the industrial districts of Vale. They do this completely without the knowledge, oversight, or licensing required by the Huntsman academies or Vale police.The Leniency: Operating as unlicensed vigilantes in an increasingly tense, militarized city could have ignited a massive diplomatic or civil incident. They are never caught by the authorities, and Blake ends up running away entirely after the school falls, dodging any potential legal fallout.

(PASS) 4. Yang’s Brutal Assault on a Defenseless Competitor (Volume 3, Episode 4–5)The Transgression: At the end of her tournament match against Mercury Black, Yang is caught in an illusion created by Emerald Sustrai. Believing Mercury is attacking her, Yang turns around and violently shatters his leg with a point-blank shotgun blast from her gauntlet, Ember Celica. To the global audience watching the live broadcast, Yang committed a horrific, unprovoked act of assault on a student who had already conceded. The Leniency: This is the only time in the early volumes where a member of Team RWBY faces immediate, realistic consequences: Yang is disqualified from the tournament, heavily criticized by the public, and confined to her room by General Ironwood. However, she never faces actual legal or academic punishment. Before Ironwood or the Vale authorities can formally charge her with aggravated assault or expel her, Cinder’s faction launches the full-scale invasion of Beacon. The entire legal and school system is wiped out hours later, allowing Yang to return home to Patch to recover with zero criminal record or academic black marks. Although, this will be given a pass for Yang because we know it was planned to happen for Cinder's faction, and Yang didn't know.

This will take place after the Fall of Beacon, but before volume 4 starts.
