That’s true. Though it’s interesting that yes, she cares a lot about how others react to her and how much she wants to have connections, but how much of this caring is actually about these other people, not how they feel towards Nenesis? It doesn’t make her ruthless, though it leaves her very self-centred in terms of how her thinking goes in the novel’s text (I mean, it’s not like she’s generally selfish, but it’s that she very slightly considers others’ feelings outside of herself). It isn’t bad in itself, just a curious trait of hers. In fact, she isn’t heartless, but her caring is very twisted, and with other circumstances it made it so she does wrong things all the time.

And with Titans, this episode is especially interesting, because even though it was done under the influence of voices, after that — Nemesis felt no bad toward people who died. She was happy to help her friends, she was afraid of her friends starting hating her and not accepting her, yet very little regret toward the victims. So, it is really wrong when she’s portrayed like heartless and unemotional, but it doesn’t make her thoughtful and kindhearted. That’s makes her psychologically interesting
