"I've worn this darkened armor for so long now, there's no mote of light left in me..."

...sheesh, Cecil, lighten UP!
This post is going to touch on a subject that takes a couple of assumptions, those being...
That said, she's also not a cruel person. As an aspiring Armorsmith, becoming a heavy armor-wearing fighter provides her personal insight on how to craft suits of armor, and adventuring provides the coin to fund her dream of opening her own Armory. As a character, she works...but as a player, I have always loved the Dark Knight ever since I had time with one in XI, and with Mr. Mopey Cecil Harvey prior to in FF II (which is what it was called when it first released, I know it was IV in Japan).
As I've stated before, she isn't exactly well-versed in magickal things without the aide of her grimoire for notes right now...and I imagine that the DRK class will involve the use of THM cross-skills or some combination of THM and GLD. Which presents a problem of how Steel would come to "falll from grace" out of Paladinship and into the cold arms of the Dark Knight.
I'm trying to not go the obvious route and have her become some demoness or something similarly trite. I envision her being able to tap into some level of ferocity and darkness within herself, sure, but I also don't believe that she'd do so out of damage or rage so much as learning to temper duty with ferocity.Â
I'm curious about how to handle this planned change in her life. What would be a good way of embracing darkness without being a caricature?

- Dark Knight is going to be a job
- Thaumaturge is one of the pre-requisites for the job
