Unrelated to the contest, but Spirit and I came up with two species of aura reactive plant for my AU

Quercia Animo , colloquially known as Jewel Trees. A very popular species for bonsai plants, the oldest wild Jewel Tree found was over four hundred years old. This unique plant is one of the few species of flora known to absorb aura from their surroundings, deriving the energy needed to grow from auead of sunlight. The leaves are heart shaped, bearing resemblance to those of the short-leaved lime tree, and the trunk itself bears great resemblance to that of an oak tree. The leaves hold a metallic shine to them, and are coloured like the aura they absorb. The Jewel Tree is an evergreen, never losing its leaves. Certain ancient societies held them in great regard, and many small settlements were built around the groves where these grew naturally.

Schistostega Gemmula , colloquially known as Gemstone Moss. a species of cave moss that glows with a faint white light. When exposed to an unlocked aura, it will slowly grow brighter and adopt the color of the person’s aura over the course of a few minutes. Gemstone moss is named for its radiant glow, as well as its stone like appearance.

Extensive exposure to a single persons aura will cause a sample of moss to permanently take on the color and properties of that aura.

this particular species is sometimes collected and bottled for use as night lights. These moss lights are  especially popular among the children of hunters, as they can take on the properties of of the parents aura/

S. Gemmula , if removed from its natural environment, will continue to live indefinitely as long as it is around an outside source of aura, including those which are locked.
