ETHOS
For all extensive purposes, she is bound by a code of ethics that she, more or less, abides by. She does not interrogate children, unless there is sufficient evidence suggesting their major involvement in a true atrocity. Nor does she implement her . . . . tactical methods of persuasion against innocents for the simple gain of the guilty's compliance. She did lie, does lie, and will continue to lie as long as necessary - and unless divulging the truth is of the utmost importance, she will consciously withhold information. She does strive for justice, but in every sense of the word, and while she does respect the preservation of life, she is unafraid in solving a matter with a bullet.
She has never been a pacifist, always unwilling to submissively sit on the sidelines when she could be assisting in a worthy cause. And while violence shall never be the answer, she has seen places in 'peace time' and finds that aggression is a suitable substitution for fruitless passiveness.
And though the moral laws keep her anchored, they are not definite and since she is perfectly capable of picking virtually any physical lock, she is equally skilled in escaping her principals. She was raised on relatively just standards, and some of these she kept into her adult life, while others she disposed of. She has gathered variations of right and wrong, become influenced by others' opinions on what is genuinely good and what is innately evil, arriving at the general conclusion that the line dividing the two is fine and blurry, the entirety more than black and white and predominately many shades of grey. And throughout her adulthood, she has adopted many ethical codes, bending some aspects and revising others, dispensing of some entirely when they either became impractical or she simply had broken it so many times that it had become irrelevant.
So contrary to popular belief, she does not act irrationally, nor does she not consider all her options. She does have a moral code, perhaps a slightly unorthodox one, that does have exceptions, but ethical all the same. And she does pride herself on her beliefs, they give her something to live, and fight, for, and she does try to adhere to them whenever she can . . . .
