ehh, dominating the action not so much actually.   fight in the train she 
knocks him out, but it's up to the posse to save her.   going in the tower 
she only takes one person out per round which is about average for a 
gunfighter of the time.   during the stone fight I used Stone's "lose 1d4 
actions" ability (forget what it was, it's been awhile), and had her lose all 
her actions until halfway through the fight, when the posse needs her, and I 
had her run and get the gem, then throw it to the waiting posse members.   
who ran.   a lot.    very quickly.

So I wouldn't worry too much about her, she will be competent enough that the 
posse doesn't dismiss her (taking out an enemy a round is pretty 
respectable), but not so overpowering that the posse feels like they are just 
along for the ride.
