I already understand that I need a reason for her to calm down a little, the problem is obviously finding that reason. I know her best so I should know what that reason would be, but it's also BECAUSE I know her so well that I have no idea what reason would get her to calm down and work alongside others. I mean, she's so confident in her own abilities and so in love with fighting things she would happily take on a town-sized Dragon for no other reason than to have a good, challenging fight. By nature she isn't just a fighter, she's a loner, a survivor, and it's been that way since she was barely capable of walking. Buddying up with a bunch of others for 'survival' makes no sense to her since, well, she'd been 'surviving' alone in a realm far more hostile than this one for most of her life.

Honestly, if anyone comes up with a reason I'm all ears, but so far I've had no ideas that would work. Well... Other than one, but it would require a team effort.
