User blog comment:VedranTheII/Pretentious Diaries 1: Are my semblances worthy?/@comment-24901923-20150704044634

Though it's said that Semblances are unique to the individual, I believe that Monty DID say that Semblances are partially genetic. To me, this indicates that Semblances can be passed down family lines, with the exact manifestation depending on the possessor. For instance, while one Speed Semblance user may discharge red rose petals when using their Semblance, another in their line may discharge white rose petals, feathers, something completely different, like a sound, or nothing at all. The right combination of genes could even cause the individual to have a "throwback" Semblance from someone farther up the family tree, rather than one shown by their parents.
