The Feral Side... — Description

Seems like Blake is indulging in her more.... Feral tendencies.
Blake's Feral Side
In the Turboverse, Blake inherits a dormant but dangerous trait from her father, Ghira Belladonna, known as The Feral Side. When pushed past her absolute emotional limits, her animal instincts completely override her human logic:
Physical Transformation: Her fingernails instantly sharpen into functional, predatory claws.
The Eyes: Her eyes undergo a dramatic shift where the whites (sclera) turn completely black, leaving her golden-yellow pupils glowing intensely in the dark.
Predatory Aggression: She enters a rabid, hyper-dangerous combat mode driven purely by deep-seated instinct due to the intense stress and heightened adrenaline.
Origins: The Rabid Trait...
Blake did not develop this side on her own; it was inherited from her father, Ghira Belladonna and those that came before him, who also possesses a feral side, within the Turboverse, this is not exclusive to Blake; other Faunus bear the resemblance of carnivorous or any predatory animals.
Originally, Blake was fearful of this part of herself. However, by the time of Volume 4 of Turboverse RWBY and onward, she undergoes a "calling", psychological breakthrough where she accepts her animalistic nature as a source of strength rather than a curse. In her Werecat form, she uses these feral abilities to act as a protector of Remnant, often fighting alongside Yang Xiao Long (who has her own Werewolf form) to combat Salem's forces.
