There seems to be no clear reference. Some interpretations of Harivamsha say that she was incarnation of Ekanamsha, a rupa of YogaNidraa, however, I think that is a misinterpretation. The daughter that was born of Devaki BEFORE Krishna's birth was YogaNidraa. That was it would still be correct to call that incarnation a sister of Krishna, but need not necessarily have to point to Subhadra.
The Puri Jagannath-dhaam lore considers her thus: "Subhadra is adored as the embodiment of His enchanting delusion" (ref: http://magazines.odisha.gov.in/Orissareview/sept-oct2007/engpdf/Pages26-29.pdf).
Probably that's all you will get.
