I believe that her semblance could in fact be based on her eye colors, similarly to how Yang's can visibly change her appearance. From the moment the eye color changed to BP (Brown Pink), she became untouchable in almost every sense of the word. Everything she did was even indirect combat until she pulled the finisher. The few times we see her eyes change back to PB, it's usually after she's blocked. When she reverted back, after knocking out Yang, it seemed to suggest that she isn't -able- to land a killing blow like that while being Ms. Fancyfeet. Even when attacked by the mysterious stranger, she changed back to that eye color to jump away.

I believe it's a safe assumption that her semblance is less that she has multiple abilities and more than she has many sides to a single ability that she rotates between. On one hand, yes she was able to block strong blows, but on the other side, she clearly had to dodge blows of the same calibur for safety's sake quite often. Think 'durable' vs 'quick', as she rarely blocked while on the move. It even explains why Yang's punch seemed to bounce back, as 'durable' to the extreme would give the illusion of a rebounded attack.

It doesn't explain the illusion trick earlier, but then again she was displaying a different eye color at the time. All speculation, we'll figure it out someday, In conclusion... All hail the Monty Oum?
