In regards to having her thirst for pain neutralized, we are fine with it. However it wouldn't so much be because it falls under the Soul Gem rule and more of a situation where having such a mechanic may hinder character play and it is a mechanic that really only fits the canon and not the game. For instance, if the game were more of a war-type game, then it's likely we would have you keep the mechanic instead as there are adequate IC venues for her. Since there is not, neutralizing is acceptable to us.
There are some other alternatives, such as instead of involving physical pain, perhaps using emotions like either general negativity or her own negativity could be used. Or it could be significantly reduced so that beating up the discontented rabble or thug (of which the game does have a decent supply of) could be enough for her. Whichever way you think would be most workable and interesting for you!
The rest of her abilities are fine with the obvious stipulation that anything that would affect another player's character must have permission. NPCs are free game so no need to worry about that (except for potential in-game consequences depending on the situation).
If you have any questions about any of this, feel free to ask! Otherwise:
