I really don’t see her as a 2 dom. She fits much more with a 9, especially the social subtype. Her demeanor is phlegmatic and self-effacing. She puts her own needs and even her identity aside just to keep some peace. That can look like a 2 on the surface, but the motivation is different: 9s avoid conflict and disconnect from themselves, while 2s seek love and validation by being needed. When Makoto confronted her about the affair, she didn’t get defensive or lash out like a 2 might. Instead, she shut down, felt guilty and apologized coldly. That’s classic 9 conflict avoidance and self-blame. Most 2s, when hurt, tend to externalize blame or try to reassert their value, she didn't. Her low-energy, conflict-avoidant style makes much more sense as a 9 so.
