1- While a possibility...I seriously don't see that happening. He is technically an author insert of sorts, being voiced by Kerry and the main reason behind him being afraid is because Kerry never learnt to swim.

2- As Piscean said, he didn't unlock his aura and therefore his semblance until after he'd noticed Nora and the situation she was in, and in fact was in the process of calming down while his aura was being unlocked. It was super convenient that his aura was unlocked and semblance discovered at just the right time, but he did notice Nora before this happened.

Personally, I don't think his semblance did all the work of calming him down; sure, it helped to calm him down, but I believe he was already in the process of doing so when his semblance kicked in and sped things up.

3- Yeah, pretty much. Which is how I personally have been trying to approach it recently, but it's not exactly something that has come up when I've been able to comment on it so I couldn't find a good time to share my thoughts.
