Sheba here has a few abilities that require some OOC communication on our parts.
The first, and most likely to come into play, is her ability to read minds. In her canon she is shown to be able to do this from a distance, but it generally works better the closer she is to someone (and works best if she happens to have physical contact with them in some way while she's trying to read their mind). She can also make it possible for someone else to hear the thoughts of whoever's mind she is reading by having physical contact with them at the time of reading as well.
Generally only people like her - Adepts, her canon's term for those who can make use of elemental magic - can tell when their minds are being read; however, given that the world of High Seas isn't Weyard, some allowances can be made if you wish for them to be able to tell. Characters who are experienced with providing mental defenses for themselves may also be able to block her out completely.
The second ability she has is called Reveal, which allows her to see things that are usually unseen (usually in the form of a hidden door or some kind of a foothold needed to proceed somewhere). However, this can also be adapted for general use if you wish.
If you'd do me the favor of filling out the following form and replying to the comment corresponding to the game you're in, that would be really helpful and I'd appreciate it! I tend to try and leave my tags relatively open when using these abilities - specifying that she may or may not find anything at all depending on what you prefer - but having a quick reference would be helpful, and if you would prefer that she never find anything at all it'll save us some time by having me able to have her attempt to do it and fail in a single tag. Thanks guys!
Thanks again for your help, everyone!

Can Sheba read your character's mind? Yes, but only when he allows her to or if he's injured/maimed etc enough not to be able to stop her.
Will your character be able to tell? Yes.
What sort of mental defenses will Sheba encounter? We've been there before ICly but generally Sephiroth's mental defenses are impenetrable and kept that way. However once 'let inside' these walls her presence there would be kept in a strong bubble in order to shield her from information that he doesn't want her to know.
How deep would you like Sheba to be able to go? If she pushed while being let inside of his mind Sephiroth would probably push her out and never let her see again. That being said, it would be interesting for perhaps one day (CR permitting) for her to be allowed to know more about him this way - or conversely
cos I'm terriblehe could be made, by way of physical injury to open things up for her to see.If Sheba were to use Reveal and your character was within the area of effect, would she notice anything she wouldn't see normally? Going to pass on this one.
