Greetings!

With this type of situation I can understand worrying about the character becoming too dark. Without further context, the best advice I can give is to keep on with writing the story and then look at how the main character develops once everything's initially on the table. When you have the story written out, it will be a little easier to see where things go awry and then change them. There might be an action where she reacts in a way that warps her personality into something that's extremely difficult to change. If you were to soften that reaction that could have an impact on her development. Basically, I would abandon the old adage of an ounce of prevention being worth a pound of cure here. As counterintuitive as it sounds, don't place that restriction in your way, at least at this stage. You may find your answer just by getting the nuts and bolts down first.
