Her training and existing knowledge of the darkside stays true to the lore as well as her general application of it. The only difference between her and a Dark Knight from Coerthas is while they struggle to suppress and push away their Darkside, she embraces her darkside and trys to completely dominate over it, turning it into her subject rather than a constant threat to her mortal being. Shes still prone to fit's from her darkside however, but it hasnt tried to dominate over her.
The only thing that's different about her is that since shes not from the Coerthas sect of the knights and from the Ortharian sect, their personal and sect code differs quite a bit, which even I wrote it out a bit to define her code a bit since she's from Orthard. Let me pull it out real quick.
(NOTE: This is not a cannon code but something that I personally drafted up which Sarnai largely operates under when going about her daily life as a DRK or dealing with certain situations.)
- A knight is the true idealization of freedom and the embodiment of defiance. we defy all rules and all codes except the code of the Knight and the individual knights personal code. This is because that we defy and break all rules to right the wrongs that other knights from outside the order are afraid to commit because they are afraid to lose their positions, power and material items in society.
- We are justice incarnate. The blade of righteous that cannot be stopped with things such as petty death threats to others or threats to us. Our justice, regardless if it is just or unjust, is absolute and so are our blades, which will destroy all that is in our path to see the justice done.
- A knight of the order is by no means meant to share the spotlight and fanfare with warriors of the light. We are warriors of the dark and we wage our fights in the shadow or away from prying eyes, where most cannot see us. Secrecy and anonymity are our best friends. We must hid our existence for those outside of the order are ignorant and cannot understand the true nature of how our power works. Thus, we leave the fanfare to those with shields of light and go about our lives living in the dark.Â
- If you are discovered by outsiders and are being hunted then members of the order cannot help you lest the order is discovered at large. We all carry the weight of our sins, the defiance of laws, the death of those who got in our way and our actions are things we must all be individually responsible for and own up to when our time comes.
- Your sword brothers and sisters are now your true family. Though you may or may not share the same blood as them, you are code mbound to help them if they should ask of your blade to right a wrong that is too big to right by themselves. While you also might not have personal codes that fall in line with each other, you must still honor, respect and help your sword brothers and sisters should they ask.
- Never, ever betray your sword brothers and sisters for any reason. To do so is to damn yourself to the deepest and most treacherous place of the seven hell's.
- If a brother or sister is overtaken and dominated by their Darkside then they are a beast, no longer a noble knight. Thus they must be killed before they can commit wrongs to the innocents.
- Never be afraid to call upon aid from your sword brothers and sisters and even outsiders at times, but be wary of the outsiders, for they are not to be trusted as they are not indoctrinated into the order like us.
As for her personal code, she is planted firmly between Chaotic Good to Chaotic Neutral. While she likes to help others, she also trys to live a normal life outside of the order, making an honest living.
I personally would be cautious about having an Othard order versus Coerthas order considering it's explicitly stated that the first Dark Knight was Ishgardian. I'm sure it's possible that the teaching could have spread to Othard before the closing of Ishgard's gates but having an independent sect kind of messes with established lore.

The actual code you've written though is how Ishgardian knights carry themselves written out in rule form. Every point you make is exactly how a DRK should carry themselves and associate with other DRK.
