I personally think most of us have been looking at it wrong. I would like to think that Jaune's semblance doesn't represent him the way some of us would compare him to a paladin like in D&D, rather I think it's more of a white mage, like in a JRPG, whose role is not to simply provide extra defence or heal, but all around support.

I believe Jaune's semblance is "aura" or "ability" boost,  What does aura do in the rwby-verse, it provides a defensive force field, can heal injuries and in some cases fuel semblances. As for my proof, in volume 1 as Jaune was going to be punched by Cardin, his semblace activated and provided an extra boost to his aura's defence and made it much more powerful and dense thus hurting Cardin in return. In chapter 12 of volume 5 Jaune imparts some of his own aura onto Weiss as a means of boosting her healing.

If this is the case I wonder what it would to someone elses semblance?
