I love your character, first of all. She has a very interesting backstory that I would love to know more about. Maybe go into more detail there. Really have a clear backstory where all the important buts are clear.
About the scars everywhere. I understand how you're trying to tie that back to her past, but does she have them everywhere? Maybe take it easy on the scars. A way to make sure the placement is reasonable is to take a "base" (you know the ones) and make a scar map. Assign each scar a mini-backstory. Even if you don't remember it in the long run, it makes you think about placement, and maybe even what scars are more meaningful than others.
I love that she's gritty, but I think the vibe i got from her is always gritty. Does she have a weak spot? Think about what things she is open about. No one is completely closed off.
Uhhhh i'm not very good at critiquing characters (or anything for that matter) but those are my two cents. Hope it helped. :)

This is actually SUPER helpful. (I think you're great at critiquing stuff.) Thanks so much!
@Fyrebird
I've got another character in need of critiquing!
She should already be public! ;)
