In fairness, Chish, we can't take the "everyone has a unique Semblance" bit literally. That way lies madness. It suggests that there is somewhere, metaphysically speaking, a register of every single semblance, with no repeats, ever. You'd be telling me that of the millions and millions of people who have ever lived, no one had Polarity before Pyrrha? Why would it have a name she expected her friends to understand if they are unique. The very fact that Semblances have names suggests they're not unique. That they are semi-hereditary also suggests this.

Say rather that Semblances are varied and diverse, and everyone's Aura, projected from them, manifests slightly differently as Semblance, as its motif suggests. There are, however, general categories of Semblance, and it can be predicted, somewhat.
