In fact, in the last three instances in which made the most sense for her to die, the only reason she didn't was due to friends clawing her out of her self-inflicted messes. With that in mind, also weighing in the fact that she's terribly dramatic and thinks she needs to do everything herself (something that drives those close to her up a wall)...
She'll likeliest get herself killed trying to bite off more than she can chew. Maybe she thinks she's doing a friend a favour by confronting the man blackmailing them alone, only to have made her plans a bit too obvious and walk right in to a swift death. Or she finds more trouble on her own accord and can't be arsed to ask for help with it, only to find herself entirely overwhelmed. Or...
Her bad decisions catch up to her. The secret organisation she feigns her death to lose the trail of finds her, and snuffs her out before anyone can blink twice. Or she killed the wrong kid, perhaps with ties to the influential and once they caught wind of her name or alias, decided to avenge their lost one.
Death is never really expected in real life, unless someone's lying in their hospital bed and no progress is in sight. I'd like to think roleplay to be realistic is no different, and once a character has enough emotional sway on the characters around them, an abrupt and painful death can be great writing material for others. (I think the convenience of dying in front of an audience is rather trite, however. Why doesn't anyone ever get fall off the edge of the earth for friends to piece together their fate? :la) And if a happy ending was in sight...
Perth swallows her bitterness and settles down, marrying and having a family. She'd normally emit a sarcastic laugh at the suggestion, but it is an option that's been presented to her enough times, and definitely a possibility. Time will tell.
I figure the constant conflicts that involves a character has to at some point come to a head, myself. Inner demons are definitely something Kallera will have to face one day, and not merely because of being a dark knight.
