As this is a fantasy culture, quite probably the cultures are different as well.Also, the whole throwing your life away is typical of many cultures, especially heavily religious ones. For example the Taliban, in modern day. In ancient days, extremist Christians would happily sacrifice themselves, Persians fought for the right to be sacrificed to the sun God, and Spartans were known for showing no fear, due to their warrior code. Based solely on that, she could be pretty much anything.
