Live: Ah, well yeah, it's not super original I know, but based on my personality and what's important to me, it's what I feel my semblance would most likely be like. Of course, if I actually lived in the RWBY universe, who knows, it could end up totally surprising me, since people don't seem to be able to chose their own.

And it's not so much that feeling the emotions of others would cause the ability to influence what they felt so much as they'd be related abilities, one passive and one activated, that might come with my semblance if it was anything like I feel it would be. I often feel the need to comfort anyone around me who's upset, sad, afraid, etc. if there's any chance at all I could help, so I can see that manifesting in my semblance by allowing me better means to do so.

I'm not sure how that would be explained in terms of aura...possibly that I can detect changes in peoples' auras that are indicative of their moods? And subsequently manipulate them in subtle ways by "reaching out" with my aura to theirs, or something like that? Actually, I could use some help justifying that kind of ability based on aura.
