My question is, is this even realistic?

She's a woman in her early twenties who specializes in torture, only working on her victims when they're tightly strapped down and confined so she can go about without disruption. Another thing that I want to be central to her character is that she's physically weak, like she tires easily if she lifts heavy objects, comes short of breath and such.

Is this considered realistic? For her to be a professional torturer and lacking in physical durability at the same time?
