I think most of us will point to Ruby's semblance ... what else could qualify.

After Qrow confirmed his semblance was bad luck, most of us assume ...that's a stretch.

Weiss has an inherited semblance, maybe the reason it's so versatile is because of all the work various generations of Schnees have put in the effort to grow and expand the capabilities of their glyphs....

In all honesty I think semblance growth will be something we see far further down the road, but I'm already wondering how every semblance we already knew could possibly grow. (Weiss is somewhat easy, the writers just need to draw a new transmutation circle for whatever new ability they want to give her, and that's assuming she doesn't have anymore bloodline techniques to learn from winter)

-Defcon Deceiver 1. Yes, a while ago I spelled out how I've assumed the work over about 3 variables that can be focused upon to alter what they do... then Ruby's uprade was released and appeared to validate my assumptions

2. I don't think we've seen it yet outside of Ruby, although there may have been a few hints with Blake and given the transition and Yang's new outlook on life I believe we are about to see hers.

3. you answered yourself, "bad luck"-"bird man" is just way too far a gap to believe... outside of maybe a word association game there just isn't anything close to linking them, and considering *at least* Raven can do it also... there are heavy inferences it is something akin to maiden powers.

4. I don't think it works like that, I'd wager that one of 2+ things happen making the Schnee semblance special, each function is a Schnee's individual semblance, but;


 * 1. The family Schnee semblance is a gateway to all of them, like a Cypher accessing a stored database that includes each member(like the internet or a LAN), so once one is found, all Schnee's can do it.


 * 2. The family semblance works as above, but in a strict order of direct Ancestry, so only those who are born having their ancestors using semblance x, y, z can access all 3, while losing any that aren't direct ancestors, and gramps can't use daddy's because only daddy's cool kids can use his.

5. I assume we will see at least Yang's soon, maybe Blake's, and Weiss's unique glyph at some point down the line.
