I think she's a great example of Je-lead. Face centric(still my weakness), punctuating head nods, rigid body posture, tons of gesticulations. Smile is the warm interpersonal Fe, open fingered Fe gesticulations, including circular motions. For eyes I get Ni/Se. My best guess is FeNi. Curious of your take, Doc.
btw, great show! I started it a couple weeks ago and am about halfway through the second season.

I've given her a really solid read, and I have to agree about FeNi. Lots of Fe arm movements, clear Ni and Se eye lock and drifts.
It's really clear that she actively uses Ni, as opposed to inherently using it as a dominant function. That implies it's her auxiliary, at least in Socionics theory on how functions work. They have a set of subtypes that are auxiliary and tertiary heavy, and I think she's one of these.
I've also seen FeNi's use that amazing insight to people read, then imitate them or generate the microexpressions they need to persuade them. She's without a doubt the best I've ever seen at this trait when portraying those distinct personalities.
Disclaimer: Everything I say here is my OPINION. Please keep that in mind.
I'm seeing eye centricity and fluidity, pointing towards P-lead. She's got the classic signs of a Pe-lead: alert/wide eyes, toggling, perk ups, momentum, and body swaying. Now, that said, she does exhibit Fe, in fact I'd say I'm seeing an Se+Fe effect. Se Moderate Eye Toggling, Se Taut Eye Area, Se Amped Eyes, while her Je matches the warm swelling effect of Fe rather than the snippiness of Te. Considering all of this, the best fit for Maslany would be SeTi-Fe.
