From what we've seen in the show so far, it does not seem as if Aura would grow. I am not saying there is not a possibility that it does not, as you are correct, it would make sense for it to increase. We just do not have enough information or examples to indicate that it does or does not. So really it could go either way.

I am aware of what hyoerboles are....my point in including that statement wasn't that Blake came out of the womb throwing shadow clones everywhere. My point was that perhaps she was able to unlock her semblance without actually realizing what it symbolized for her. Thus, she later came to associate just what it was her semblance represented. In other words, the semblance is formed before the individual exibits certain character traits. Akin to alleles. Our personalities are determined by certain alleles in our codes, and depedning on certain cirumstances/experiences, some may choose to turn on, expressing themselves. Perhaps the same method can be applied to semblances.

I would have to find the interview, but there is RWBY live stream feed where the crew state that semblances are somewhat hereditary.

I am not disupting what her core is or what her semblance represents. I was questioning whether or not any significant change in her character would alter her semblance. I am only using Blake and what she said as examples because frankly, she's all we got as of now.

I do like your personal interpretation on what her semblance means. In my opinion, I think her assesement of what it represents was spot on. She may have been emotional but I do not think that minimizes the validity of her claims.

Ooo I like the offensive clone idea. In my mind I relate that more back to astral projection.
