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.

According to the Star Wars The Force Awakens Visual Dictionary, her cape is made of armorweave, which (1) the other First Order Officers' jackets aren't made of, and (2) is something generally used for outifts intended to see some kind of fighting (Darth Vader's armorweave cape comes to mind), which again, First Order Officers (and their uniforms) aren't intended for.

From what we've seen from supplementary material to the film, she is the leader of the FN Corps, the First Order's equivalent to the Stormtrooper Corps. She personally oversees the training of all Stormtroopers in the First Order. We can't use these two examples of her not particularly participating in battle to say she's a figurehead.

Yeah, she really got shafted in TFA. I hope she gets a better deal in EpVIII.
