You bring up some good questions, but you make some leaps.

"Conclusion: Either Roman or Neo has the ability to create illusions." Fair enough; but it's a bit odd, then, that Roman never made an illusion before the second Neo showed up.  The evidence is still in favor of Neo having made the illusion.

"Fact: Neo is seen first, aiding an escape and is seen second, using a very evasive fighting strategy and ultimately fleeing once again.  Conclusion: Neo’s semblance should have something to do with escape or evasion." Ruby is also a caring friend; but her Semblance doesn't reflect on that aspect of her character. Weiss is a somewhat rebellious character; but her Semblance doesn't relfect that. Blake is a righteous, determined warrior; but her Semblance doesn't reflect that. Yang is a mother figure with a deeply kind and gentle side; but her Semblance doesn't reflect that. A Semblance can reflect any aspect of a character's personality, or none at all. You can't guess a Semblance based on, like, five minutes of screen time.

" Fact:  In “Lessons Learned” we see Emerald has the ability to shape-shift." This is still speculation. Another theory is that Neo made the illusion from behind the scenes (highly unlikely, in my opinion); or that Emerald made some kind of illusion herself, while hiding behind the trees. Obviously, Roman couldn't have made that illusion, because he was being held by Ironwood.

"Fact: In “Best day Ever” both Roman and Emerald claim to be professional thieves and both display great skill with pickpocketing....  Conclusion: Romans and Emeralds semblance should be similar due to both their thieving natures." Winter and Glynda have more in common than Roman and Emerald, and their respective Semblances are not remotely alike. There's no reason to assume that Roman and Emerald would have similar Semblances.

... That wasn't supposed to be that long.
