Nah, by now she's perfectly aware she's part of a series where ppl survive absolutely lethal injuries all the time :D

In general, I'd say a swordfighter always aims to kill or maim. Why else would they use a sword to begin with? Unless of course the swordfighter tries to knock the target by hitting the head with the hilt of the sword. But even that could cause brain damage and whatnot in real life.
