Seems like an half-Justifying Edit to me. Maybe you can merge it into the main text as a subversion.

Is it really a subversion though? The character is considerably less badass than her original incarnation. Does it matter if there's a valid reason? Doesn't the trope still apply?

Yeah, upon rereading (I was in a hurry before), the edit seems like it's trying to justify the Adaptational Wimp entry with speculation. I would simply delete it - "may" being a keyword that points to this "explanation" only being speculation.

Just axe it. At best, it's a Justifying Edit. At worst, it's irrelevant because it doesn't really matter whether the backstory is true or not, the point is she's still just a teenage girl.
