Quote 	"Well maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!"
Blake is a Silk-Night hybrid created by FourFlames. She is part of Forge's Wings of Remnant crossover (RWBY x WoF) and inspired by Blake Belladonna, a member of Team RWBY.
"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."
== Appearance ==
===Main Details===
* Mostly black or faded cool-tone purple with vibrant purple accents
**White underbelly with large black band across the base of her neck
*Catlike amber eyes, usually with a warm affirmative gleam to them
*Long and ribbony black tail
====Pantalan "Faunus" Attributes====
*Black antennae from her SilkWing ancestry that bend backwards and down again to resemble cat ears, then trail off behind her shorter horns
**Once twined them into a bow so that they looked less suspicious, when she was afraid to reveal her Faunus/Pantalan identity; as a result they've been permanently bent into the triangular shape
*Large faerie-shaped purple wings in two pairs, both with the same transparency as a typical Pyrrhian wing
**No star patterns-- instead she has the belladonna emblem on her larger pair in black
**Black lattice patterns around the wing thumb of her larger pair of wings
**When concealing her Pantalan identity, she bound her second pair of wings at the shoulders using a silk-spun sleeve to prevent it from moving independently of the first. This binder resembles a black stripe not unlike the natural dark streak on her neck
***The binder also included a brace/armature to secure her smaller wing arm comfortably
***To better imitate the silhouette of Pyrrhian wings, her smaller wing was also tucked at a slight angle to create the illusion of wing fingers
====Other Attributes====
* Black frill hanging around neck, not related to her tribe at all
* Purple forearms with white bands separating from the rest of the darker body
* Hindlegs are black like stockings or long boots
* Several white stripes on her tail, not to be confused with white belts
=== Apparel ===
* One white belt double-crossed over tail and another hanging loosely on neck, like a collar; platinum-purple buckles
* White studs in her ankles
"It makes you wonder how far we're gonna have to go to keep doing the right thing."
== Personality ==
*Composed and introspective, with a touch of repressed emotional turbulence
*Naturally quite respectful, but quick to arrive at assumptions when it comes to privileged Atlesians
*Not terribly supportive when she feels threatened and is likely to withdraw to process her feelings
**She prefers peaceful confrontation or flight over violence
*Moody and self-loathing, sometimes referred to as "the emo one"
*Holds her personal values and promises in high esteem
*Accuses herself of cowardice, sometimes resents her Semblance
*She's been very badly shaken by trust issues in the past
*Her friends have helped her stop compartmentalizing her emotions and trust them with her vulnerable parts, and she's been better off for it
*Over time, she learn(s)? how to feel secure around Pyrrhian dragons
==History==
* Raised on the island of Menagerie by Ghira and Kali Belladonna
* From a young age she supported the Pantalan activism group known as the White Fang, but fled after it devolved into a terrorist organization under the leadership of her former partner Dominula, causing him to form a grudge against her. She was afraid for her safety
* Later sent to Beacon Academy in Vale for Huntress training
==Abilities==
Blake's fighting style is best understood as versatile. It involves working with difficult ranged weapons which require an intuitive knack for momentum and timing. She battles with her wings bound to one another as a sort of physical handicap which has the additional effect of concealing her identity.
==== Pantalan/Faunus Attributes ====
* Night vision
* Heightened hearing
==== Weapon: Gambol Shroud ====
* Gambol Shroud is a cleaver with ranged fire that can become a katana or kusarigama.
** She equips the weapon to her tail in katana and cleaver form. This is generally how it's carried outside of combat as well.
** As a kusarigama, the blade swings out from the hilt in an arc to change momentum and trajectory midair, which can be done by wrapping around a solid object or shifting weight. Gambol Shroud is really difficult to use when equipped to the tail, though this also gives it an incredible reach.
** Inserting different Dust into Gambol Shroud changes the Dust type of her Semblance
Oh and she can also fight using baguettes
==== Semblance: Shadow ====
* Can leave behind temporary "shadows" of herself, which are made from Dust. These shadows have a visual illusory aspect to them that can trick enemies.
* If she's in motion when the Semblance is activated, her Shadow retains the momentum of whatever action she was in prior to activation. So when she sends a shadow forward, it sends an equal amount of force in the opposite direction, and she can use this to spring off of, change direction, dodge an attack, etc.
** Detonating clone (Fire Dust + Shadow)
** Statue clone used for taking cover (Earth Dust + Shadow)
** Ice-sculpture clone that can freeze around and immobilize enemies (Ice Dust + Shadow)
** Clone with limited visibility radius (Violet Dust + Shadow)
"I have people who actually care about me, and I promised I'd never leave them again. So I'm not dying now."
== Relationships ==
===Team RWBY===
* RUBY - At first, Blake was indifferent to Ruby's excitability, or mildly annoyed on occasion. But after properly meeting her team leader and familiarizing herself with the leadership style, Blake grew to value Ruby's optimism and determination. In the face of discouragement, Blake does her best to counsel Ruby.
* WEISS - Blake's relationship with Weiss was initially rocky, and the accidental reveal of her identity as a Pantalan/Faunus caused some conflict and distrust between them. However, after learning that a younger Weiss saw herself as the victim due to a lack of control over her life, Blake has actually become very proud of Weiss for standing up to her father, and recognizes her as the strong person she is. They've learned to respect one another's positions and to see one another as more than the circumstances of their birth.
* YANG - Yang is Blake's girlfriend! The two of them stabilize one another during difficult times, both possessing a shared history of trauma from Dominula and fighting alongside each other with combined strength and love. Yang often looks out for Blake's mental and physical health before her own, such as when Blake revealed herself accidentally to be a Pantalan dragon-- Yang was one of the least bothered by her running away, instead hoping that she was okay-- or when she confronted Blake about putting missions before her own sleep. Even losing her own arm to protect her from Dominula.
===Family===
*GHIRA (Night/Silk)
*KALI (Silk/Night)
===Other===
* DOMINULA (Adam Taurus; Sky/Hive) - She once regarded Dominula as her partner in the White Fang, seeing him as the symbolic champion of justice. When his rage victimized Pyrrhians rather than attempting to make peace and negotiate equality for Pantalans, however, she deserted. He took it personally and developed an obsession with punishing her for causing him emotional damage.
* ILIA (Rain/Hive) - Blake was a childhood friend of Ilia, but saw Ilia as misguided and was hopelessly oblivious to her enormous crush
*WUKONG (Leaf/Sand) - Cheeky quips, and a chill and supportive guy, though she has a few objections to his tendency to shoplift
