Siobhan's talent seems to be similar to Jasper's, because it is in the ability to alter moods. On p. 660 of Breaking Dawn, we learn that "Carlisle believed that Siobhan had some subtle but powerful gift to make things go her way - and yet Siobhan didn't believe it herself." So apparently, she has the ability to want something and make it happen. In the fight, the rest of the vampires want Siobhan to hope for a peaceful resolution, in order to make that resolution come to fruition. Yet, as it says, Siobhan doesn't believe in her own talent, so it is unsure whether or not she can actually control it. She still tries, though; on p. 677 Bella narrates, "I noticed Siobhan rubbing her temples, her eyes closed in concentration...." Since the ending of the novel works in the favor of the "good guys," maybe Siobhan's talents were useful after all. :)
