I think that part of the problem here is that you continue to think that this show has a chance of actually being good and well-written. I would recommend not and just accepting it as it is. You'll find that you'll enjoy it a lot more.

Also, there are no established rules for Semblances, other than that they come from Aura (or are a manefestation of it or whatever) and that they're "unique" to the individual. We were given no indication of how they can evolve or grow, just that they can and Merry didn't even explain that well, likely on purpose, to give them more freedom.

"Your Semblance is like a muscle.  The more you practice with it, the stronger it will become.  But if you only focus on one aspect of it....If you failt to test the limits of what you think is possible.......Then you'll never truly grow." That's the most information we got on Semblances and, clearly, that's what Ruby did. She experimented and the rose petal generation evolved into letting her change into them. Also dude, you're gonna have to have a much higher suspense of disbelief if you want to be a fan of this show. It's still only getting started. If you think the outlandish things are gonna stop now, you are not gonna be right.

@Arkantos:  Hating something because it will generate shitty OCs is shallow and pointless. Merry wil never, ever not put something in because they think it will open the door for terrible OCs. That would be stupid and, quite frankly, a losing battle because there will always be shitty OCs. They've given no indication that dragon-Faunus are a thing and yet, from day 1 people were making them. At least, I assume OCs are what you're talking about, since we have no werewolves or were-hellhounds in canon, so far. If not, I apologize for being harsh but my point still stands. Shitty OCs will never be grounds for not including something in the canon. Maybe for other shows but I doubt for RWBY
