tbh im not sure if its actually white or just a lighting trick though considering the whole tri-ice-cream thing i wouldnt write it off completely

new ammendumn of thoughts: each colour symbolises a part of the semblance, allowing for combos. Im not entirely sure about this, but when she reflected/derailed Yang's punch, both eyes made up the same pink-brown combo; this makes me think that while pink-brown is one power, brown-pink isnt neccessarily a different one.

I think it might go something like this:


 * Brown symbolises nothing, and might actually just be her natural eye colour. This is two-part, though, as it 'tones down' her semblance(s).


 * White symbolises illusion.


 * Pink symbolises redirection.

So if she had pink-white combo, she could (theoretically) create a glass illusion of herself to distract while teleporting herself and Roman a (very) short distance away out of view. Like to a nearby dropship for example. White-pink would be the same.

If she had a white-white combo, she could literally just jump into the air and vanish temporarily from all forms of detection. She could open doors and nobody would know because her illusions would show that there was nothing happening near said door. (probably OP if it works against robotics too though)

A pink-pink combo could effectively let her do the AdamTank thing, but without the whole flashy-ninja stuff.

if she had brown-brown, it probably means she wasnt actively using her semblance.

brown-pink could let her disorientate opponents through reflecting/redirecting forces elsewhere. Like we saw with Yang's punch, it was almost like her fist (and tense arm) were suddenly going in the other direction. Not like she was being forced and was hit by something, but like her pushing was directing her to the left instead of the right.

brown-white could possibly let the enemy see her as something she isnt, eg wounded, open to attack, a demonic lovecraftian postergirl, or maybe even see more than one of her.

im probably overthinking this, but there's always the possibility that she was interacting with some kind of dust the whole time (like Blake vs Roman dusty semblances)
