Blake Belladonna

Blake Belladonna, best known simply as Black Shadow Cat, is one of the protagonists of the anime-styled RWBY game series. Blake spends much of her time quietly reading "novels" in hidden spots on campus, but since she met Ruby, this pastime has become increasingly difficult to maintain. She used to be a member of a Faunus terrorist organization: White Fang, before she defected and enrolled at Beacon Academy.

Blake's weapon is the Gambol Shroud, a "variant ballistic chain scythe" with a sharpened sheath that has a pistol in the hilt, which is also attached to a long ribbon. Blake uses blade and sheath in attacking combinations, while also using the momentum of the blade anchored to an object to maneuver herself with the ribbon, even in midair. Her Semblance, "Shadow", allows her to create a hollow clone of herself that functions as an afterimage decoy while she moves in a different direction, later using Dust to give the clone an additional effect depending on the type of Dust used.

History
A Huntress student at Beacon Academy and part of Team RWBY, she used to be part of the Faunus terrorist organization White Fang until she stepped out, realizing how inhumane their methods were. As Faunus are often prejudiced towards, she hides her cat ears under the ribbon on her head. Despite her efforts to start a new life and move away from her past, issues regarding Faunus prejudice still rile her up from time to time.
