How does your character deal with killing?
Newton's a bit of a paradox in that while she will try to avoid killing if it's within her power to subdue instead, she has been part of a military force. She fought at Carteneau. Killing is well within her power and she'll not hesitate in a war or battle.
Outside though she'll try talking people down first. But push her too far and you'll soon see that Newton's silliness turns on and off in an instant.
How did your character feel after her first kill?
It was an ambush on her unit by a group of bandits, and reacting instinctively, she drove her blade through the first man. She was heavily armed and armoured, he was armed with a cheap sword and barely functional armour.
She barely had a second to register it before another sword came at her and she had to deflect that. All in all, she killed three people in that skirmish before they broke and ran.
They might have had their reasons, but they were attacking people she felt responsible for. In that respect, she didn't care much for the dead.
Does your character mull over it later?
Maybe the first time. Afterwards? No. Anyone who attacks something she's protecting is taking their lives into their own hands.
After Carteneau though, there's a noticeable drop in people she kills in combat. Make of that what you will.
