* UnintentionallyUnsympathetic: We are supposed to sympathize with Blake due to being a victim of racism by humans and that she clearly had a rough childhood, but the way she acts aggressive and venomous towards people who call out the White Fang's actions and tries to justify it shows that she can be just as bad. Her attitude towards their attempted investigation and Makoto's scolding is to whine and deflect the blame to others (Such as blaming the amount of people in their investigation despite the fact that they could have all died if Ragna, Jin and Jubei hadn't hold off Azrael as well as ignoring the fact that their actions led to collateral damage). Blake is also shown to be just as racist towards humans as they are to faunas, pointing out their crimes and mistakes but not her own species' wrongdoings. To further prove this point, Makoto is the perfect example of a faunas who was a victim of racism like Blake, but instead chose to befriend humans and give them the benefit of the doubt, never raising her fist against them and doesn't hide her heritage. While her talk with Makoto has made her think in a more positive manner but there is no evidence yet to suggest her views have changed.

** Jin's a cold, aloof asshole, but with how much of a [[spoiler:BigBrotherBully Ragna was when they were kids, being derided for his weak crybaby personality, and the elder sibling he idolized showing ''{{no sympathy}}'' to him after he was almost killed, why else would he turn out the way he did?]]

Moved this to YMMV since it falls under it, corrected some spelling, and had the last sentence removed since it feels more like like character bashing and, again, You're Mileage May Vary.
