CHARACTER
Name: Blake Belladonna
Canon: RWBY
Age: 17
Timeline: Right after she inadvertently tells them she’s a Faunus in episode 15.
If playing another character from the same canon, how will you deal with this?: n/a
Personality: Introverted, reserved, and sardonic can be the three words to easily sum up Blake. In the Black trailer, she’s seen being incredibly sarcastic to her partner, Adam (“Don’t be so dramatic.”) while keeping her cool as she slices through the androids. The first time you see her in the series tells of her introversion, her nose in a book as she ignores the world around her. That is, until Ruby sets off some Dust and the fact it comes from the Schnee Dust Company catches her attention. Until Blake is part of Team RWBY, she has no one she’s comfortable enough to pull herself out of her shell, usually sitting off to the side reading one of her many books. Once she’s comfortable with the people she’s with, Blake starts showing a friendlier side that isn’t afraid to make jokes in a dry manner.
She's hesitant to show her Faunus nature. For most of season one, she hid that fact, running when she accidentally let it slip to her team. In season two, she has a very unimpressed look on her face when Jaune reveals he knows she's a Faunus and nearly says it aloud in the library. When the Headmaster, Professor Ozpin, mentions to her that he knows she's a Faunus and wants to know why she hides it, she lets him know that she doesn't want to attract unwanted attention. He may be ready to accept her, but the rest of his species isn't, so she hides her cat ears.
She’s not afraid of stating her beliefs either. As a Faunus, Blake has dealt with discrimination and racism, and as an ex-member of the White Fang, she’s seen a level of violence she disagrees with. She’s not afraid to insult a company to their heiress’s face, nor is she afraid to stand up for Faunus rights. This is also a way to make her lose that reserve, as provoking her can cause her to lose her temper and finally say what is exactly on her mind. This is seen when Weiss challenges her about Faunus rights, and despite trying to hide her Faunus identity, she says in anger, “Well, maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!”
Due to her past in the White Fang, both from her youthful peaceful protests and the violence that drove her to leave, Blake is a realist. She knows life isn’t a fairy tale, and isn’t afraid to say it. But there’s still a part of her that wishes it was. Her sadness when she tells Ruby this shows, and she tells Sun she thought they were making a difference with peaceful protests.
In the end, despite how she holds herself away from others, she cares more for others than at first glance. In the Blake trailer, she professes concern for the crewmembers of the train when Adam was about to set the charges. She despises anyone that discriminates, glaring at Team CRDL when they pick on Velvet for being a Faunus. She defends Sun when Weiss speaks ill of him, and considers the White Fang as they are now as misguided, despite how she disagrees with how they use violence to get their way. Blake even went into Huntress training after leaving, wanting to continue helping people.
Background: Blake at the RWBY wiki
Abilities: Blake is an accomplished fighter, using amazing speed and agility to her advantage. She’s incredibly acrobatic, avoiding strikes through leaps and backflips. And this is all without Gambol Shroud! The main form of her weapon is a katana with a sharpened sheath. Normally she fights with the katana sheathed, cleaving through her enemies and deflecting bullets with ease. When she unsheathes her weapon, she can duel-wield them against her enemies. Finally, she’s able to transform Gambol Shroud into a pistol with a sickle at the end. While she can hold it in her hands and use it as a proper gun, it’s more deadly to her at the end of the ribbon tied to her wrist when she swings it around, using the recoil of the gun to increase the velocity and impact of her strikes.
Her Semblance is the ability to create shadow clones of herself. This is useful during fighting, as she can use the clones to distract her enemies as she gets into position to strike elsewhere. They disappear if hit by her enemy, and there is enough substance that she’s able to jump off of them.
First Person: [When the watch flicks on, it’s cat-like eyes that first stare down at it. Confused cat-like eyes, framed by a pale face and black hair, with the occasional brush of fingers obscuring the view. It moves slightly, as if the person owning it is fiddling with it.]
How does this- [And then Blake realizes it’s on, and the watch moves slightly away from her face.] A watch as a communicator. [Her voice is dry as an eyebrow raises. She looks at it, her eyes narrowing slightly in through as if trying to figure out if she should say anything. Finally her head tilts slightly as she concedes, looking off to one side]
I don’t suppose anyone knows where the library is?
Third Person: The train whistled behind her, waking Blake from her thoughts. She looked around, slightly confused. This... this wasn’t Beacon. How had that happened? The last thing she remembered was arguing with Weiss, then running away when she realized she had just outed herself as a Faunus-
Her ears! Blake quickly reached up, relaxing slightly when she felt her bow on top of her head. No, her ears weren’t out. Now came the question of how she had gotten on a train out of Vale and to a city she had never heard of. Could anyone have been stupid enough to kidnap her? Then she snorted at her own thoughts. What would the point be, kidnapping a former member of the White Fang? She wasn’t a current member, and even if she was, she wasn’t anyone important.
So now it came down to exactly where in Remnant this city was. Blake started walking, trying to find something she recognized. Anything, as long as it told her where she was in relation to Vale and how she had gotten there. That was most unsettling thing about this, that she didn’t remember how she had boarded the train and how she had now arrived in Ruby City.
And if there was any way back.
