Her semblance is noted to be her speed. However, let's say her attitude becomes depressed and sad as opposed to her usual upbeat self. And by this I mean it is an actual long standing issue as opposed to being temporarily upset like Blake was.

Then, perhaps she doesn't move as fast as she did when she was happy/cheerful. Visually maybe her Red roses turn black, and maybe with her sad somber attitude the speed she lost is compensated with something like Thorns on the black rose petals to slow down enemies.

Or maybe if Yang went from being fiery to finding some sort of inner peace with life like a monk... Perhaps instead of getting power from getting hit she gets power from dodging or maintaining her sense of calm.

Idk. The core concept and style of the semblance will likely stay relatively the same: Ruby is fast, Yang gets stronger. However, the mind set may affect the appearance or slightly alter the effects: Ruby moves fast... But not as fast, adds thorns. Yang gets stronger, just with a different activation.

A little too early to know for sure.
