There's nothing wrong with creating a character with the sole intention of having them die to advance the plot (/Whedon). The characters might not like it, but as a tool it's fine. If fleshing her out heightens the emotional drama, then by all means make her more than just a faceless 'death'.
And just because 'Fenspace is not a dystopia' doesn't mean that you can't tackle issues that you want to write about through a Fenspace lens. That's kinda what science fiction's about. I know I've scratched at the surface of a few things from time to time, as have a few of the others.
