Peranza grew up in Cheliax and is also, as it happens, a masochist both by nature and now also by Subirachs's retraining.

This isn't a level of pain that would break her.  Losing sight in one eye is unnerving but that's the obvious thing for a torturer to do, right, it's not even evidence about whether you're about to lose the other one, which they won't do because then they can't show you things to scare you.

Peranza grew up in Cheliax, and has good-enough pain tolerance to make it through Ostenso academy without being one of the very brightest students, and then Subirachs trained her in case Keltham wanted to use her.  This isn't a level of pain that would break her.
