Weaknesses: Continual damage to her Aura will cause it to decay to the point where she can be left open to more significant damage. Aura's durability is cumulative; it will deplete with each attack she takes and can be brought down by characters of similar strength. Semblances drain Aura by a small amount and without it they cannot be used until it is recharged. Constant exposure to extreme temperature can drain the user's Aura.
Notable Attacks/Techniques:
*Aura Siphon: Gillian's Semblance, Aura Siphon, allows her to transfer Aura between different people, much like Jaune Arc. However, she is also able to drain Aura from others to recover her own, as well as storing it for herself. This adds onto her own Aura, forming a rainbow of color. Gillian is also capable of forming a chain of Aura by draining it from one person and using herself as a link to transfer it into another. Aura passed onto others will eventually fade, and she needs physical contact to transfer it, whether this is to herself or other people. This Semblance grants Gillian numerous advantages in a battle, due to her being able to siphon Aura and store it into herself, this grants her the ability to continuously siphon Aura from her opponents to simultaneously reinforce her own Aura reserves and protection while at the same time draining her opponents, allowing her to weaken their own defenses and possibly disable the use of their Semblances. Gillian's Semblance in particular would be vital in The Crown's operations as she was able to provide her twin brother Jax the vast Aura reserves he needed to make liberal and free use of his own Semblance to build their army.
