I cannot believe the word the dictionary picked out for me! I was going to do Blake anyway, she's my favourite character.

Chapter II

Black

Blake Belladonna

Blake loved the colour black. When she was younger her parents had tried to force her into whites and pastel colours, "fresh" shades to show off the clean interior design of their manor. They completely ignored her ebony hair. Their locks were blonde-not the golden of Yang's, nor the silver of Weiss's. Just pale blonde.

This matched the colouring of her sister's and her older brother's. Blake was always the odd one out, a Back Velvet Petunia in a field of daffodils, an onyx in a sea of diamonds. No one could shake off how much she looked like Raven, an ancestor blasted off the family tapestry because she became a huntress.

As soon as Blake was old enough, she left the house to follow her ancestor's path. She never looked back.

Now, looking up at the slowly shattering moon, she remembered those old feelings of sadness and loneliness. Blake sighed bitterly and shook it off. She would not linger in the past. She would keep looking forward, and would make her own path. She would make Raven smile down on her proudly.


You can read Blake's backstory (or 'black'story! Hee hee! No...okay then...) in The life of Blake, which I will get round to writing...eventually...

Also, please can I get some votes on my poll? Please?
