Well aren’t those some loaded questions…

My answer to your first question might come as a bit meta, but yes I think virtually all semblances that will be introduce have room to grow. Given that the main theme of the show so far is growing up and that aura (a measurable resource that we can reasonably assume can grow like a muscle) directly powers it, I think it’s safe to say most semblances in the show are growa…ABLE to grow. There is a chance though that some  semblances might be noticeably stronger on activation than others, but I think they will be in the minority and probably on the villains or one note characters.

Your second is hard to answer without making a wall of text, but I’ll try and keep this short. Up until you reach maturity your personality is as random as a dice roll and you can notice major changes from one year to the next, but once every person reaches mental maturity, a core is formed, a core containing traits you will carry with you for the rest of your life, not necessary because you like them, but because they difine you. I may have gone from dormant to screaming when I was young in the span of weeks, but as of right now  I have a core formed, a core that will not be changed for the rest of my life because it’s…well me, when you strip me of my thought's and emotions, it's my soul. I’m not going to suddenly make an angry rant swearing at the world because I wish I was richer because that’s not part of my core. It is to my understanding that semblances aim on that core, a core that can only be shattered through the death of the individual that owns it. With that said emotional maturity hits everyone at a different age because there is no set time for when you reach at least a base understanding of yourself, so some people like Ruby have their semblances figured out already while others like Jaune are still looking for it, but show gliimses of it when in great stress, when there is no time to think or feel and act on instinct, on the writings of your soul.
