Eh, if you look at most of the main characters, it fits with a larger aspect of their personality

Ruby was forced to grow up faster than other people because she's essentially a prodigeé, well, that and losing her mother would ievitably force that too. Plus, being the nervous sort of person she was originally, speed would reflect that sort of power.

Weiss' Semblance represents how the shadow of her family name is always there, and always present, but can also be a symbol of hope to fix her family's morally gray reputation.

Blake, you already mentioned. She's inherently distrustful, realistic, and tends to run from her problems, and her cloens are made from shadows of a dark past.

Yang is quite a caring person, has a sunny demeanor, and fiercely loyal, meaning her Semblance works to that regard as well. It makes her strong because she had to be strong for Ruby when she lost Summer and Tai "shut down".

Jaune, since we don't officially know his we can't really say, but if it's a defensive Semblance like is commonly thought, then it represents his protectiveness and his desire to be a savior/hero.

Nora, she's super hyper, bubbly, and energetic, which would evoke electricity.

Pyrrha's power of Polarity involved attraction and repulsion, as that what magnetism fundamentally is. She attracts people with her warm personality, humble demeanor, and celebrity status, but unintentionally pushes them away with the status as well.

Ren's power against Grimm came in a stressful situation as a blubbery kid, so a Semblance that calms him down and allows him to conceal himself works. That, and his emotions are enigmatic around 90% of the time, hence concealment.

Sun's clones are the opposite of Blake's, being made of light, reflecting a more welcoming and extroverted personality, and his more optimistic and light-hearted views compared to Blake's.

So yeah, it usually reflects parts of it, just not the whole person. I simply think of it as a small aspect of the soul, since Aura is the manifestation of the soul and a Semblance is a greater and mroe specialized aspect of it.
