And there was no glyph in there so it was her own strength. Those slender legs can't jump that high so yeah, it's probably because of their aura. Sorry, didn't communicate that very well. What I meant was that yes all the characters are almost certainly being boosted by their aura for the superhuman feats we see. But the feats we see Blake and Sun doing could possibly be less aura and more faunus heritage. Though as I said, since we don't really know what faunus are generally capable of, there's no way to know for sure. So far all we know for sure about faunus is they have near perfect nightvision. I suspect they also have at least enhanced hearing (since Blake has detected several events before others, preceeded by a bow twitch) and possibly some other sense as well (smell perhaps) since Sun seemed to recognize Blake as a faunus immediately, while he was in the middle of a chase no less. As a side note, that had gotten me wondering if the other faunus at Beacon such as Velvet also know Blake is a faunus and are simply not saying anything about it.
