Have you downloaded the excel spreadsheet of animations from Beerfish's Excel Utilities Project yet? I find this spreadsheet very helpful in finding the types of animations you want. Sometimes you need to experiment a bit to find the animations that really go with the scene.

Don't forget that sometimes movie magic can make it happen. I'm talking about camera cuts of course. If you get really frustrated, try cutting on the movement of your actors that way it can make even the most simply of movements possible. Sometimes you just have to let the viewer create the motions in their own head

There are turning animations in the toolset for 90 degree turns and 45 degree turns for right and left for your purposes. You can start with one of those, then combine the turn with a run animation and a layered hand up animation, combined and stretched at the point when the hand is raised, and lengthened to keep it in that position until she reaches the Templar.
I also recall an animation that causes the actor to actually turn at a slight angle and run, so if you can find that it may work as well. (perhaps one of the "army" anims)
In order to connect the moment when she stops running to the actual attack, you can cut to a new animation where she holds her hands up against his neck, but finding an appropriate disjointed hand up animation (with weapon attached/equipped of course) along with a cut to new shot angle to cover for the animation change as Lord Methrid explained.
The animations you need for your purposes do exist.
Keep in mind, when I say disjointed, you can look up the words disjointed in the excel sheet to find animations that are not combined with any bodily movement, but rather manipulate only certain portions of the body. This allows for more accuracy and less weight blending when appropriate.
There are also arm animations that may be disjointed that include "2arm" within the name.
There are complete attack animations as well. Those would be prefixed with a "cb" if I recall, I assume standing for "combat" as well as include "atk" within the name. 2h, would mean two handed weapon, 1h single weapon, and dw would be dual wielding.
