It's both. She was already a socially awkward shut-in maths nerd before. Trauma just makes it worse and made her not expect anything from others or trust them.

We saw she was into math, not that she was a shut in or awkward. So far all we've seen of her pre-trauma is her being a very happy and bubbly little girl who liked numbers. Pretty sure it's the trauma of her father dying because she said the wrong thing to the wrong person (according to her uncle in a previous episode) that gave her social issues.

To me there still seems to be a critical piece of her early life that we are missing.

Somehow she went from being abused and neglected by her uncle, as a peasant and daughter of a heretic, all the way to the top magic school in the world when she discoverers silent casting. Best guess is maybe one of the other magic saint types stumbled across her? Maybe someone who was familiar with her fathers research?
