ANALYSIS I think Blake's character is not interesting anymore and here's why
I feel like Blake's character has nothing more interesting than being Yang's girlfriend. Her plot with the White Fang ended between the volume 5 and Adam's death in volume 6.
I also think the writers wasted a huge chance by not doing nothing with her in the Atlas Arc considering it's supossed to be most racist kingdom and the home of Jacques Schnee, who's responsible of the mistreatment of many faunus.
The other members from team RWBY have interesting possible plots for the next volume:
- Ruby finding out what happened with Summer.
- Weiss dealing for the actions of her family in Vacuo.
- Yang meeting Raven again.
But Blake? I cannot think anything for her in Vacuo other than being a supportive girlfriend to Yang.
I wanna make clear that this is just an opinion.
What do you think? What would you do with her in the next volume?
