That's possible. If you can see the end of your country looming and your countrymen dying and all those horrendous events at that time, surely as the king's niece you would want to be able to help in any way. And at that time, the best way to help is by fighting. When everyone around you discourages you from helping in the way you want to, you are motivated all the more (as Mithalwen had pointed out).

I can't seem to picture Eowyn playing with dolls during her childhood, though. She could have spent most of her time in homemaking, of which eventually she grew tired and wanted something more exciting, like hewing heads off bodies.
