User blog:Babysync/Dust/Aura link speculation

Okay, so we've now been introduced to auras and dusk. Both giving out high power, but something made me think... Yang's casual bursting into flame if someone messes with her hair, is very similar to the effect we see when Weiss uses her Red Dust. Furthermore, Yang's eyes turn a matching red.

Now... Going by the assumption that Yang's burning is fuelled by her aura (I know that's a rather large assumption, but to me it makes sense, just bear with me, okay?) and that we've previously had mention of both protests and the controversial labour forces of the Schnee company, does anyone else think it is possible that Dust derives from Auras? Not necessarily human, as we've heard that animals have it too, so perhaps Dust companies have found a way to extract auras and convert them into power.

The complications of this, of course, are that it would mean whatever the aura is taken from, essentially loses it's soul, raising several moral issues, which would explain WHY people were protesting against it.

Now, I may be getting carried away a bit here, but could it be that the 'Grimm' are not the evil they are portrayed as, but simply protecting the other animals from humans, as although the intro in episode one spoke of Dust being created to fight Grimm, can that be trusted? To me it sounded like only humans were the targets, and we have seen other animals (the crow, and going by Nora, sloths must exist too).

Just thought I'd put it out there, because I'm clearly thinking a bit much about this...
