AU where someone, anyone (but preferably Yang) is doing a project on/already has an understanding of either the former White Fang leadership or the current leader of Menagerie, and connects the dots on who Blake really is while they’re still at Beacon. (Must include at least one Princess joke and hopefully Blake’s team encouraging her to get back in touch with her parents)
Yang draped her arm over Blake’s shoulder and leaned close to her ear. “So, Princess, huh?” she asked. Blake’s head snapped around, putting their faces very close together.
“What?” she snapped, supressing a shiver. Yang grinned at her.
“The project Oobleck gave me was to research leadership of the White Fang and families of Menagerie, and I found something in-ter-es-ting.”
“Oh yeah?” Blake asked, slightly distracted by the way Yang’s mouth curled around the word ‘interesting’.
“Yep. Turns out the former leader of the White Fang is also the current Chieftain of Menagerie, and interestingly enough, shares your last name. Wanna tell me what that’s about?” Blake was pulled from her drifting thoughts about Yang’s mouth.
“So? How do you know Belladonna isn’t just a common last name for Faunus?” Yang’s smile got wider.
“Well I did a little more digging and found a Menagerie newspaper clipping. Ghira’s daughter, Blake, ran away four and a half years ago.” Her face softened. “They’ve been looking for you, Blake. I think they’d be happy to know you’re safe.” Blake shook her head.
“No! They probably hate me…Before I ran off I called them cowards! I told them I hated them!” Yang scootched a little closer, running her fingers over Blake’s cheeks.
“I doubt they hate you, Blake. They probably miss their runaway princess as much as we love her.” Blake managed a little laugh.
“It’s chieftain’s daughter, actually.”
