I personally think the Queen Lancer is because they were the FIRST fight she had after breaking free of her father's control and setting out on her own; the real test of whether she could survive on her own. If there wasn't a queen, she probably would have gotten a normal Lancer instead; but since she did fight the boss level version, she got that one instead of the minion variant.

The bandits were an afterthought to the whole thing. She had already proven herself by that point.
