With Blake and Weiss, it was somewhat needless. Blake may be a Faunus, and she could easily pass off as just another Faunus, but decided to bundle White Fang into her reasons. The reason was also because plot, plot conveniently needed the RWBY team to be connected to the happenings at the time concerning the White Fang. It's not the description of events that matters, but the purpose of it. Having random drama for the sake of drama is the worst kind of drama, because no one needs it or wants it. Reasons you can have are for development (which is very loose, even now and even in blockbuster movies there is a lot of drama that really didn't need to happen) and progression (which is what happened with Blake and Weiss... Although with some needlessness, so not perfectly done). Now it's not my business to tell them to change it. They can go ahead and do badly written character development for all I care. But at the very least, let me inform them that they could definitely do far better.
