Like Coltan, I like how you've put some thought into this, but I also question the matter on if she should be subjected to the rules of that period as well though I do like your idea of the rules not seeming to apply to her until she is violated. I think that the rules would apply to her since other people in the time period can see her, but if she was truly a by-stander to all the events witnessed and no one was able to touch her, then the idea of the rules not applying would work I think. One idea I had that you may be able to build upon is that, part of the reason that the violence escalates, she expects to go home anytime her life could be endangered or she could be harmed. Like the first time she came back, she had never had the experience of a gun in her face, so she expected to die and she went home, but after that, each time that she faced violence and expected to go home, she didn't and it was only once she realized that she truly had to believe her life was in danger and not just have the expectation of going home in order for it to work - maybe that's more complicated than it needs to be, but that's the thought I had when reading.
