The Grimm Huntress

Black and White

"Finally, she speaks! Nearly two days and you've given me nothing but small talk and weird looks!" Blake gave Sun a firm look. "Yeah, like that."

Blake rolled her eyes before closing them and looking at him and her teammate sadly. "Sun... Are you familiar with the White Fang?"

"Of course! I don't think there's a Faunus on the planet who hasn't heard of them. Stupid, holier-than-thou creeps that use force to get whatever they want. Bunch of freaks, if you ask me!"

Blake sipped her drink while listening until she spoke up for the big reveal. "I was once a member of the White Fang."

Sun promptly went cross-eyed and choked on his drink, making him put it down and wipe his mouth as he held up a hand to process this information. "Wait a minute, you were a member of the White Fang?!"

"That's right. I was a member for most of my life, actually. You could almost say I was born into it..."

"I'm not surprised. It explains a lot." Eclipse continued to sip her iced coffee, ignoring the weird looks she was getting; Sun looked more surprised by how she sounded than what she said though. "Faunus Auras are actually different than a human's. Also how you panicked when we first met." She sighed sadly. "I need more coffee... and more sleep."

(The explanation will sound more like I'm describing what happened on screen instead of a fan fiction/story so sorry about that but I wasn't exactly sure on how to change it.)

The scene shifted to a simple silhouetted flashback of fallen weapons plunged into the ground - swords, guns, any number of combinations.

"Back then, things were different. In the ashes of war, the White Fang was meant to be a symbol of peace and unity between Humans and the Faunus."

We're shown the dark outlines of two trios - animal-eared and tailed Faunus on one side, regular Humans on the other - shaking hands and making peace after their struggle. This didn't last long, as seen by a white Faunus cowering in fear of the gray-and-black aggressors harassing the hybrid. Later, more Faunus were pushing the crowd away from their bullied brethren.

"Of course, despite being promised equality, the Faunus were subjected to discrimination and hate. Humanity still thought of us as lesser beings. And so, the White Fang rose up as a voice of our people. And I was there."

Silhouettes of Faunus protestors were revealed, and emerging from the shadows was a young girl with dark hair and cat ears.

"I was at the front of every rally. I took part in every boycott. I actually thought we were making a difference. But I was just a youthful optimist."

Cutting from the child version of Blake, the blue flag of a white wolf with sad eyes and a circle behind its head was lowered, and raised in its stead was a red monster with three bloody scratches and teeth bared at the world.

"Then, five years ago, our leader stepped down, and a new one took his place. A new leader, with a new way of thinking."

A quick series of images were shown - Faunus replacing their picket signs with axes and blades, windows being broken, thieves leaping on trains to steal their cargo.

"Suddenly, our peaceful protests were being replaced with organized attacks. We were setting fire to shops that refused to serve us, hijacking cargo from companies that used Faunus labor. And the worst part was, it was working. We were being treated like equals. But not out of respect... out of fear."

The flashback showed one more image of three Faunus individuals standing in a dominating manner with malicious grins until Blake put down her teacup in front of a stunned Sun.
