Yeah, almost anyone who is trained at fighting at all seems to use aura, since attacks that would normally slice creatures of Grimm to pieces seem to just knock around even the weakest of goons. So It seems pretty obvious that she has her aura unlocked. In addition to the Torchwick stuff, she survives a direct hit from a cannon that blows out the end of a steel freight car. She also uses a semblance, and those could very well be linked to aura.

In any case, I think her aura may be involved in how she's able to control such an impossible weapon with any degree of accuracy in the first place.
