Oh, no, I'm sorry Vedran! I didn't mean to attempt to change the subject, or subtlely change the topic XD. Seriously, it was merely a finishing thought for my paragraph. *bows apologetically*

That certainly sounds plausible, and I really like that. If that were the case, that would make Ruby's backstory all the more poignant. Imagine her desire to be there for others, coupled with her supposition that if she would have been fast enough, she could have helped her mother.

I've always thought of semblance definition in simpler terms. That is, a particualr personality trait that may be associated with a power that somewhat reflects that characteristic. I.e. P-money having the power of polarity because she has an attractive personality. Nora's energy absorption because she's incredibly hyperactive. I know, pretty simple, and superficial. I'm not particulary good with speculation on these things. That's the way I figured out what my semblance may possibly be.
