No, she was fighting because she had no choice. In the first instance, she was sitting down, pinned up against a wall with nowhere to go...
She could have thrown herself forward under the alien or to the sides, she could also try to get up on her feet,
in an attempt to run for it, Consequence doesn't apply when dealing with actions done as a result of acting on your instincts. Many times we see people freeze when being found by the Alien, she could have done that as well, cause she was also scared shitless.
However, doing any of this only proves that you are not a warrior spirit.
Quote...and in the second, the only way out was up, but she needed Scar with her so she had to blast the Alien off his shoulder.
...there were also a bomb counting down, she could have left Scar with the aliens and jumped on the sled alone.
All she then could have done was to stay away from the queen until others arrive, as Weyland said, he wasn't the only one with a satelite over the place, others would turn up there eventually to investigate what happened, she could then tell them what happened and leave the queen for some other branch, like the military.
Or she could have stayed down at the pyramid with Scar while he was being attacked, crying, trying too push the Alien away from him while screaming; Leave Him Alone!!! Oh, my god, you're killing him!!! Noooo!!!!...
...BOOM!
Instead she decided too aim and shoot the Alien in the head.
She once again took an aggressive action.
I think that we are relating to the word "Warrior spirit" differently.
If you are walking alone and three guys try to jump you,
If you fight, even when you're scared, even when you know that the odds are against you, even if you lose. I would say that you had a warrior spirit.
But if you run, surrender or got beaten down and never once try to hurt the other guy, I would say that you didn't have it in you.
Having a Warrior Spirit is all about what you do, consequences ain't a priority, you can't help it, you're mind might scream "RUN" but you're body doesn't follow, instead you find yourself fighting while you should be running for your dear life.
And you can have a warrior spirit without even being physical, cause "fight" and "fight back" can happen on the mental level, like when going up against your boss or teacher when he or she have done or said something wrong or if you're sick fighting the cancer spreading through your body while laying in a hospital bed.
Even in a discussion on this forum, you when you find yourself fighting to prove your point.
