Blake Belladonna, a cat-eared member of a race of people known as Faunus, has used her skills with her sword that is also a gun to become an elite huntress as a member of Team RWBY, taking down the hordes of dark Grimm invading the lands of Remnant.

When her equal rights organization, known as the White Fang, militarized and changed from the peaceful protests Blake participated in as a child, Blake trained herself to use a sword and fought alongside her partner and self-elected leader, Adam Taurus, to try and ensure Faunus independence from a then human-dominated world.

Yet when Adam directed the White Fang to increase attacks on innocent humans who had no quarrel with the Faunus, Blake decided to leave the organization and instead became a student at Beacon Academy, where she joined team RWBY.

Blake uses a sword that transforms into a handheld pistol, which shoots normal bullets as well as magically enchanted shots. Blake also uses her innate power, known as semblance, to create shadowy clones of herself that, when enhanced with elemental magic called dust, can become physical manifestations of ice, fire, earth, and shadow.

Blake Belladonna may continually doubt herself and her purpose in life, yet her skills and determination to stick with her friends no matter what makes her a fighter you would not wish to upset.
