Going on this same speculative theory if you examine her cape it has these weird pockets and an overall weird layout for a cape which could suggest that it's actually her jacket uniform (like General Hux's) which she's fitted into a cape to wear over her armor. Whatever the deal is I hope she's better used in episode 8 because they way over-marketed her in 7 for how little she was there.

i was kind of thinking the same thing about her armor-that it goes with her rank and not so much that she decided to bling it out and accessorize.

i don't really put too much stock in ranks in star wars but it does appear that she's more of a figure head than an actual co. important enough not to participate in actual combat. which is why we only see her relay the order from kylo to kill all the villagers on jakku and why she is on starkiller instead of fighting on takodana.

I'm more miffed about her misuse and being turned into a joke rather than her limited screen time. she just needed to do on thing to show she is formidable or a terrible person-and she did neither. i really wish they added a scene where han and finn try to take her out and fail AND then chewie comes in and sucker punches her.
