I think that if Blake has killed someone, the memory would haunt her. I'm not even talking about killing someone in combat, let's assume she took part in a "revenge killing".

Just because she did it in that moment, she agreed to it (as much as a 12 to 17 years old can consciously make a decision of that calibre in an environment that has educated them to go all out in support of a certain cause), she felt it was "justice" it doesn't mean she later on felt well about it.

I remember an episode from Lost. I don't even remember the names of the characters because I saw it a long time ago and actually I ended up dropping the series when the plot got too weird.

Whatever, guy A had killed guy B during a run-fight encounter. Then, guy C sits down to talk with A and asks him if he is ok and if he needs to vent out about what happened. A says he is fine, because B deserved to die, that it had been justice after all he had done (he had kidnapped a pregnant woman and stole her baby and they suspected he had had to do with someone's death). So, C tells him about when he served in Irak (or one of those countries). C tells once they found a man guilty of killing dozens of people with a car bomb (or something similar) so the sentence was execution by firing squad. C enlisted for it as "it was his duty" and killed the man. He tells A how he didn't feel bad about it in the moment because it had been "justice", but then, with time, he started to wake up at night and feel guilty about killing.
