That's a result of her station in life prior to becoming undead. She was a samurai, and followed bushido. Bushido requires absolute submission to one's lord. Had KC not written her like that, she would be a poor representation of the samurai.

That said, she's a pretty wide departure from traditional ochimusha (which are disgraced warriors). I assume KC just wanted to provide a straight-samurai styled mamono to serve as a counterpoint to the kunoichi's ninja-type.
