I think Ren's aura is multipurpose. Out of all of the fighers, he's the most well-balanced (except for maybe Blake). He can use his aura for attack and defense with equal skill. It also probably has to do with his personality somewhat. If Yang's red-eye thing is, in fact, her aura (I'm not sure it is, as aura is much simpler than the fire that surrounds Yang when she goes crazy over her hair), then it assumedly has some connection to her hotheaded, agressive personality. Unless, of course, aura is more than just an outline of a certain color (which it probably is). Perhaps Adam's Seeing Red (I just like calling it that) ability has to do with his aura, as he shines a simple red like Pyrrha did. As for Pyrrha's aura herself, she seems the most skilled out of all of the characters at using it, as she unlocked Jaune's aura, something I doubt a beginner aura user could do. I also really want to see Weiss use her aura. Based on her personality, I have no clue how it would enhance her fighting ability. Ruby's cloak is also very interesting, as it could be aura that allows her to move as she does. Her cloak could also be some Dust weapon or just one of her own special powers (if that's a thing in RWBY's world). Also, am I the only one who feels that her cloak allows her to teleport rather than move at incredible speeds, like Blake's Flash Step (which could possibly be an aura ability itself)?
