What ability is this?

I have a character with the following ability:

Their magic is to ignore any and all interference coming their way from people they consider "rude", as long as they wish it and as long as those people are not "permitted". Combat, weapons, magic, elements, energy attacks, monsters, words, sounds, smells, any form of communication, or even mind reading: they will ignore all of them, making them completely ineffective. On the flip side, they can perform all of these themselves, and only they can turn off this effect for others. While the magic is active for someone, any attempts from them to "reach" the caster will fail, and any words talked to them will turn into gibberish to their ears. Whether a person is considered "rude" or not is up to the caster's discretion.

In the context of the wiki, what abilities can be taken from this?
 
It's basically a selective negating aura, if I'm not mistaken from your description. It negs stuff selectively since it selects those it will apply on to those who are "rude" to the user, and in general it just seems to prevent unwanted stuff in any form from passing from the rude guys to the user who thinks they're rude. Like an untouchable aura but that's a bit of an NLF

I don't know how it negs "combat, weapons, monsters, any form of communication" and these are too vague (preventing monsters sounds like nulling summoning/life manip/creation idk and any form of communication is SUPER broad) and need context but I can gather from the rest that preventing magic, elements, energy attacks from being received by the user is power null and preventing words and sounds from reaching the user is sound manip nullification (if "words" doesn't include text, otherwise it's text manip nullification), preventing smells is probably fragrance/sense null. Also "any attempts from them to reach the caster will fail" sounds like space manip but context would be nice

All of these are just dimensions that add to the depth of the power null
 
Thanks for the feedback.
To add to the context for some of the description, essentially, anything that anyone "rude" tries to do to her will fail.

If they try to use magic on her, it doesn't connect and fails.
If they try to throw or shoot things at her, they will be redirected/deviated.
If they try to touch her or attack her with limbs or weapons, they will either grab/hit nothing but air (likely from deviation), or their attacks will be stopped/blocked mid-motion, like an invisible force or barrier halting them.
If they run at her, their movements as they run to her will be redirected (for example, someone charges at her, but instead of reaching her, their body will deviate away from her by itself).
If they try to speak to her, the words will only reach her in gibberish.
If a monster or beast attacks her, it will also fail despite them not being a person.

I hope it is clearer.

By default, this ability's user considers everyone to be "rude" at first, with the exception of her servant. Other people don't need to have done anything actually rude for her to believe they are; she considers them rude and barbaric by default, and doesn't exempt them from her magic. So, who is exempted or not is at her own discretion.

Is this “rudeness” like a law in the universe? Or is it just the ability of this specific character

No, just of the character. It's at her own discretion.
The ability may be described as "ignores rude people", but in practice no person can ever hit, damage, target or affect her with anything, as long as she chooses to include them in her magic. She'll only ever deactive her magic on someone if she wishes to talk to them and wants them to understand each other.

Probability Manipulation too then
 
Since her magic can result in deviating attacks or deviating people coming at her, could it classify as Attack Reflection/Deviation and/or Body Puppetry?
I think thats more as Probability Manipulation like I said, she makes it so simply impossible to touch her and something will stop it
 
To recap what's been gathered, it's like an aura of Power Nullification around her, that also includes a passive Probability Manipulation (due to forcing attacks to miss or be halted) and Sound/Fragrance Nullification.
