Special Snowflake is a termused to describe characters who has a 'unique' or 'special' power that no one else does. Semblances technically make everyone a special snowflake, as everyone has a special and unique power that no one else done.

The Schnee's give up their 'special snowflake' status in exchange for a family semblance which all Schnees have, but has a much larger array of powers than the individual unique powers that everyone else has.
