She doesn't seem to have trained directly in the Force, so she doesn't have the temptation to choke/lightning. BUT.

She's a General, and she's absolutely willing to coldly sacrifice lives for what she sees as the greater good.That's in the text of the film

I'd say that Leia is walking the edge of Light and Dark as much as Rey is.

@BootlegGirl She's not a regular guy like Luke. She's a politician. The concept of "acceptable losses" has been with her since her youth1 reply 1 retweet 5 likes -

Which is why I think Leia was as aware as Han that the trip to Starkiller Base was a one way one for him

@BootlegGirl I think she sees it as a do-or-die Rubicon moment. Bc part of her also hopes Kylo can be redeemed but she's can't do it herself
