EDIT: Her Semblance DOES let her run away faster, encorporating both her desire to stand her ground and her nature to be afraid. If you want to reflect better the "stand her ground" part, the speed boost doesn't really reflect it much.

Honestly, the way you describe it makes me think more of a Semblance that creates a shield that blocks and reflects attacks back at the attacker, be they physical or ranged, but also produces heavy knockback on contact pushing the user back and away from the attacker.
