Kirin would have worked way better in a grimdark setting. Her no-kill policy would have been a big deal there, like she's rejecting the rules of the world itself. You could have had shit that really pushed her to her limit and made her question her ideals. Also have other characters, even enemies, be inspired to be better by her actions, sort of like Nova when he interacted with Kirin. Story beats like Zed coming back to help her after being spared would have had way more weight in such a story, too. Just because you have an edgy setting doesn't mean you need to have an edgy protag.
