But you see that allot in games. Where they take a young girl and make her a killing machine for pure shock-value. I would hardly say that that is good for female representation.

Seriously? They have actual reasons for her being the way she is. She's still a scared little girl at heart at times as well. She wasn't born out the womb a badass. You couldn't even compare her to other mindless young girl killing machines. Don't be so short sighted with that character. 

They are putting in the plot that in such a scenario, even a young girl can be trained to survive.
