I believe the character may be a psychopath. She has no qualms about hurting the innocent in order to exact her revenge as demonstrated in the episode where she destroyed the investment firm. Both innocent employees and investors were seriously damaged by her plot.

I don't have a lot of problem with the way she's going about it... she was unjustly removed from her only parent at a young, impressionable age, force fed lies about him (which we learned in the pilot she came to believe until she got the packet of evidence from Nolan she is now using to identify her "victims"), unjustly kept in a locked unit on a psych ward having her mind toyed with by an ethically challenged child-psycholgist for personal gain (as we learned last week), and it appears she was either kept THERE or was in juvy until 18 years old. Where was she supposed to learn to be a good person? If she DIDN'T turn out to be a little "off" it would be shocking and a bit unrealistic. I like the direction they are going. No one cared about destroying HER, the ULTIMATE innocent bystander, so why should she care about the collateral damage? She seems pretty amoral, but that's appropriate for what her character has been through.
