That implies that aura is projected a distance from the body, which doesn't make sense.

Considering the fighting we've seen so far in the show, I got the impression that aura was some sort of 'forcefield' which hugged close to the skin - protecting the person & their clothing - in order to provide an explanation as to how it doesn't react to weapons/bullets that pass really close.

For instance Coco dodged Emerald's bullet matrix style, but in the bullet time it's clear just how close the projectile was to her head. Surely that would've reacted against her aura as it passed by closer than the same bullets did with Amber during her fight. Also, when the Ursa Major exploded in Breach, one of its spines bounced off of Coco's handbag as she batted it away - now wouldn't there have been some flickery lightshow here as well since the spike came close to her body?

I just assumed that whatever Amber did in that fight was some Maiden-exclusive power, or maybe her aura was different because of her mage status

¯\_(ツ)_/¯
