This means that the force fields are neither Ren's or Cinder's, because they both had them and they were exactly the same, which means it is not a unique ability. Both Cinder and Ren have something other than the force field as their semblance.

Along the same vein, Ren's semblance is not the attack he used to explode the Taijitu's head either, as Fox made the exact same attack in Breach and blew up an Ursa. The Exploding Grimm Aura Technique is not the semblance of either Ren or Fox, as they both did exactly the same thing as each other.

Just because Cinder may have been using the Maiden's powers to make the force fields does not mean they are not imitatable with aura. Their powers over the elements are immitated with dust, after all. The forcefields Cinder used were different than Ren's forcefields. I agree that Cinder and Ren's semblance aren't the forcefield. What I'm trying to say is that only Cinder has been making the unique forcefield against bullets, the forcefield Ren was using against the King Taijitu was his aura, and only his aura. The technique Fox and Ren used to destroy Grimm was the offensive type of aura. What I meant was that Cinder's defense against bullets wasn't her aura, it was the Fall Maiden's powers, since only Amber and Cinder have been shown to use it. It might be imitatible with aura, but who knows for sure? What do you mean when you say 'Their powers over the elements are immitated with dust, after all. Are you talking about Amber and Cinder? Or Ren and Cinder?
