What? My theory has no assumptions, all of it is based off evidence from the game.
You assumed that when you kill someone with a shadow sword you get ANY auras at all.
I know we're told that a shadow sword wielder will absorb the aura of anyone around him who dies, but I have a theory that it's not the person's death that matters, but rather the fact that the aura is no longer bound to anything.
We can observe this in e4 when Cade has his aura removed while still alive. We know he's not dead because we saw someone who'd taken the formula and lived alive as a kind of a zombie. Because Cade's aura is absorbed without him dying, we can conclude that death isn't the determining factor, and the only other one I can think of is the fact that the aura is no longer bound. If you can think of something else please tell me.
If the auras a shadow sword absorbs are bound to the shadow sword, as opposed to the wielder, killing the wielder of a sword really shouldn't give you any auras because the auras are still bound to something. And we KNOW that the auras are bound to the sword from this convo:
Red Woman wrote:Shadow Swords strongly bind themselves to the natural, or as some say, the original aura, of the one who possesses them.
The bonds become stronger and more intertwined the longer they remain.
However, as the sword absorbs other auras, it binds itself to them as well.
So, we can conclude then when you kill a shadow sword wielder the auras remain with the sword.

I assumed three things at the start, and then stated why I thought they were true afterwards to keep it more organized. I have no idea why I thought that would be a more organized way of doing it... The three things I assumed were:
The Girl is Serena- The hair color, Rhue's attraction to her (this can be seen by the fact that she's part of the Landorin Massacre in the reaches ending), the fact that in the normal ending in the editor Serena is called "Girl," and her lack of a name definitely implies there's something funky about her.
You don't get the aura's of someone else's shadow sword when you kill them.- I already explained this.
The protagonist Rhue is the Kura that Kava knew- I hardly think I need to tell you the evidence for this... but just in case:
- Kavax calls Rhue Kura.
- Celestria thinks Rhue's normal clothes are a Kura outfit (meaning they probably look just like what Kura wore)
- The Guided came was destroyed by what some call Kava's ghost, implying that there was a shadow sword near Kava's death.
- The witch from the Twisted Forest build the first grave for Rhue (if lun didn't simply temporarily lose all his game making skill and she really is Luma this is evidence... kinda a stretch I know.)
There's more but I'm sure you know it already anyway.
If I'm right about these three things, my theory is basically proved (since there's no other way Serena's aura could be in dream Estrana). Even if these arn't all true, it's still possible... but there's no reason to think it happened. However, I would like to point out that it's not as inconceivable as it may seem for Rhue to lose the sword to Jeruh and then get it back. Let me explain:
Rhue killed someone near the Landorin Massacre. At this point he starts to change auras. Jeruh comes up. This explains why one guy is dead and the other is silent. Jeruh then does the massacre thing. Rhue wakes up, and wants his sword (since he's like that). Rhue then hunts down Jeruh and gets the sword back fairly easily (since he's a lot bigger).

I honestly have no idea what your saying here. Maybe I just suck at English... Did you mean "to emphasize her?" Because she's only called "The Girl" in the editor remember. So it actually makes her stick out less while you're playing through the game. (That's what it did for my anyway.)
Sage Of The Wise wrote:If the Lun can be the Phantom, the girl can easily be someone else Lun know.
But the Phantom is part of a cameo side-quest. The girl is not.
Sage Of The Wise wrote:The picture piece being in her room has to represent that connection in some way if thats true (See, thats an assumption).
I can see your point here, but it's still not enough evidence. I think it's more likely that it's a reference to Rhue's heart being dominated by Serena.

That's kinda hard to do since I don't have any numerical probabilities.
