That is redefining it.
Go look up the definition of "good". Nowhere does it say that "good" is a property god wants in you. You are the one defining it that way, which means you are redefining it.

If she possesses those character traits then she possesses character traits that 'we' have inescapable reason to cultivate. In other words, she possesses 'good' character traits and is therefore morally good.
Except, that's not an inescapable reason. You can easily escape that reason by allowing the god to harm you.
