What we generally agree on for semblance is that it is based on their personality at time of unlocking, for example one of my characters was in a severe accident at the age of 3 and her aura was unlocked to help keep her from dying on the way to the hospital. She was scared of being hurt again and her semblance is one that reflects incoming damage because of that. It has never changed although the visual effect has become more refined over the years.
