Emphasis on when you said “at least on paper”
It does sound nice and all, but we have no content except what is in the films to work with. I doubt there is a sufficient way to show the difference between “embracing the darkness” as you say and experiencing the darkness on screen. It’s something that could be done in written form, but not likely with what we have.
I’d imagine most of what we try would end up looking like her experiencing the darkness - and I already stated why that is problematic earlier.
