I've never been a big supporter of the "Semblance is based on personality" idea. The main reason is that a person's Semblance is unlikely to change, but a person on the other hand can change over time. Ruby has super speed, but if as she got older she learned to be patient and relaxed I don't think her Semblance would change with her. I also remember hearing that a Semblance way be passed down from parent to child in some form (maybe not the same exact Semblance, but some variation of it). I'm also not sure where I heard this however so don't quote me.
