It may not have been quite so bad if Blake had only revealed herself to be a Faunus, but she blurted out "Well, maybe we were just tired of being pushed around!" thus putting herself into the same category as the White Fang, without stopping to clarify that she had since left the White Fang because she didn't approve of their new violent methods. Two days later, Sun asked if she had done the sensible thing: "So... have you told your friends any of this?" Blake: "Oops lol, no I didn't, I just screamed at the top of my lungs the insinuation that I'm one of them and ran off hehe."

And to be fair, Blake only easily defeated Roman once. The first time she fought him, he defended himself pretty well against both her and Sun, and the only reason she knocked him down was because she got in a cheap shot while he was fighting Sun. When she fought Roman herself in volume 1, he actually managed to smack the shit out of her and knock her to the ground. The only reason she took him on so easily in volume 2 is because she had a new trick up her sleeve that he wasn't prepared for - combining Dust with her Semblance. In the bit of that fight where they were just fighting without Dust, he blocked her attacks, even though she was dual wielding, but then she caught his cane in an ice clone.

We know that Aura protects against cuts and blunt hits, but there's no telling if it protects against drowning or suffocation. We've even been told that the cuts and hits still actually hurt (as in, their nerves register pain), even though it doesn't do any damage.

So, Blake in that instance wouldn't have been so bad if she didn't act like a fucking idiot. (Which is kind of becoming her trend now in Volume 4.)

Yeah but the thing is she still managed to defeat him BEFORE she hardly had any Hunter training whatsoever. She also had hardly any problem fighting against him in the mech. In the train fight she beats the crap out of him 1v1. Roman isn't really that tough by himself, he is really good at blocking attacks, and escaping when things turn bad. Other than that he hasn't really been shown completely owning someone in a fight, except for that fight right before he gets eaten.

Well if it did protect against those things everyone would be unkillable and the fights would be even harder to take seriously. Like how is your overshield supposed to protect you from drowning or suffocating? Your soul is gonna breathe for you? I seriously doubt that. Also Aura completely prtects against cuts, as we never see gash marks opening up on any character when they get hit by a blade. So I don't see you getting hurt from that. (Unless it is your soul getting cut) Also if people are still able to feel pain from the hits they take I wonder how Yang and Weiss don't have PTSD from getting punched thru a concter pillar and being sparyed by lava respectivelly.
