It's a miracle that she caught 2 flying arrows with it. I agreed a larger traditional shield would have make more sense and a better match for her sword.

They were smaller shields used primarily for parrying sword strikes between two duelists, they are lighter and more agile and great for their intended use, but not so much for charging into battle against multiple enemies and blocking a barrage of arrows.
The Buckler was taken into battle on occasion but the Religious crusades which this Shard is clearly based on used a larger more appropriate shield, plus Sideshow could have done a really nice detailed shield for her, they did an amazing job on the shield for Ravlatch.
