I have sort of an odd situation with an original story. There's three kids who're taken into the military (it's a fantasy setting), and the one who's disabled winds up not being used in battle at all (she's also resistant to the leader's spells due to spoileriffic reasons so yeah). So she remains upbeat and confident, only transiently due to her disability. It's moreover because she's not broken by the battlefield. But I'm worried that people will see it like that.

Maybe "upbeat" is the wrong word to use. Her friends wind up almost giving up entirely, and she doesn't, if that clarifies it.
