Here's my analysis :

1. Switch longbows. If you want her to have more knockback/stagger, then commit to it with two Barbed Nails and a Revenant Wail longbow to go with the Cursed King's Belt. Your pawn also has a significantly higher strength stat than magic, so ditch the Glaze in favor of the Revenant. Your augment choices for her are sound.

2. Lower her Scather inclination to third or fourth position. The Scather inclination tends to affect the pawns proximity to the enemy. Scather encourages "close quarters" combat. When enemies get too close to your pawn, she whips out her daggers to defend herself. Without daggers, she'll dodge away from the enemy until she feels comfortable enough to use the longbow from a short distance.

3. Re-equip her the daggers. Give her Framaes (or Helmbartes as a distant second choice). At the moment, her magic is too low (318) to effectively wield Heaven's Keys or Sapfires. Once you lower her Scather inclination, she'll stand at a more respectable distance and use her bow most of the time.

4. I'd commit to her strength stat at this point. Level her up as a Warrior to boost her Strength as quickly as possible, and she'll end up with a Strength stat of 742 which is pretty high. If you commited to leveling her up as a Sorcerer now her final magic would be 458, which is a little low. If you want to boost her physical defense a bit, level her up as a Fighter for a few levels.

5. If your pawns are dying too often, there are three probable causes : insufficiently distributed curatives, insufficient armor, or poor tactical choices by the Arisen ! Study up on the tactics sections of the enemy pages and your pawns should RARELY die (Death's scythe and Dragon roars notwithstanding).

I hope this helps !
