Not really.
You could apply the same argument, but it fits poorly. We've seen plenty of Garleans in the story so far and a lot can be gleaned about what they're like from what we can see. Additionally they're all comprised of the five races and conquered peoples (other than the purebloods of course), which we know a good deal about already.
Other than Yugiri there is literally nothing to go on with the AuRa. Pretty much everything about them is up in the air. You could write a family background, origin story, etc, and then find out that they don't do conventional families, that they spring fully formed as an "adult" from a clutch of eggs and have no idea who their parents are, or that they've all been sealed away (except for Yugiri and whatever family she may or may not have) and an event at the end of 2.0 is going to release them into the world again.
Obviously I'm speculating wildly here but we really have no idea where SE is going with the AuRa. With Garleans we can make reasonable conclusions. More difficult to RP for sure, but still, applying the same arguement doesn't stick very well.
Everything about the AuRa is a shot in the dark at the moment and it's probably not a good idea to get attached to character ideas that may have to be severely altered (or severely scorned in the case of Miqo'te lore) to fit with whatever SE writes.
But hey, this is RP and at the end of the day it's for fun, so have it. I'll be waiting.
