As for the anon saying his symbol doesn't have any connection to anything about him - if I recall, both times we've seen him use his Semblance so far (Black Trailer, Heroes and Monsters), the red color that fills the screen appears (and I think disappears?) with sort of a rose petal pattern along the edges. So, there's your in-show connection.

It may be rose petals, it may be leaves from the Forever Fall forest. It may be the same thing as Blake's black petals(?) we've seen in Blake Trailer. Anyway, the connection you talk about is not evident.

The characters don't necessarily have to have their symbol connect to anything about them anyway. Glynda's symbol is a tiara, and we've never seen anything connected to that. Ren's symbol is a lotus flower, and we've never seen anything connected to that either.

Ren's name means "lotus" in japaneese. Glinda's emblem is far more difficult to explain.
