I feel like the simpler explanation is that there is a type of Dust that generates barriers. Does Neo's Umbrella look like it even has something where to hold Dust to begin with?

Besides, if not Tech, in Weiss's case it can well be Aura, like Cinder and Ren. IIRC, Weiss's Aura was light-blueish instead of actual White. The "wave" effect is the same as the one in Ren's in terms of appearance.

The only difference is the range, but that can be justified by comparing what she is blocking and the skill she has by No Brakes, to Cinder, Neo and Ren's cases.

Weiss blocked a notably-incoming attack from a rather-large body (a chainsaw), about a few feet of distance away.

-Cinder was blocking bullets, which are about as big as a a finger more or less, and travel fast. Using just her hand to block them could be her just using as much effort as she needed, and blocking them point blank could be due to their travel-speed preventing her from blocking them further away.

-Neo also blocked Yang's shot point-blank, though it was after arriving at the last minute, IIRC. No time to setup anything.

-Ren, like Weiss, was being pressed down by the Taijitu's fang. Ren did the barrier practically at the last second, which would explain the much smaller range.

Then the only questionable thing is the color; Neo's was also Cyan. However, and correct me if I'm wrong, we haven't seen her Aura color. And Aura color can differ from the character and their name (Blake and Glynda have Purple). And there are only so many colors, at some point 2+ people would have practically the same color.
