As for a Semblance idea, I once had an idea for a character who was a reference to the S.P.Q.R. Aquila standard in the old Roman armies. In addition, she was a reference to Jupiter (Rome's version of Zeus), as well as his eagle pet, which the aquila itself was based off of. She was an eagle faunus, came from a militaristic family, and had much the same kind of personality; proud, arrogant, sure of herself. Though she also has a temper that could drop on a dime, and dislikes being "slowed down" by people around her.

Her Semblance was something I like to call 'Bolt'. Basically it was kinda like Ruby's Dash, but the effective range was much shorter, and she couldn't generate tailwind with it. On the other hand, she could string together multiple uses of it in succession, even using it while in midair, leaving a faint trail in her wake that, when finished, would resemble the arcing pathway of a lightning bolt.

It helps to use this to help a bit with visualization. Just the motion, mind, she's not actually using Lightning Blade.
