In addition to my loss/sacrifice theory you can add the spell she cast while unlocking Jaune's aura, "For it is in passing that we achieve immortality, through this we become a paragon of virtue and glory to rise above all, infinite in distance and unbound by death, I release your soul and by my shoulder protect thee". Sounds to me that she bound their souls together at that point and that if she does die she will become some sort of immortal spirit guide/guardian angle.

nice catch. She may even pass into her via a kiss (sort of like how Yue did it in Avatar).
