Even if she did have some weird twisted Darwinism thing going on, why would she express remorse? She'd be proud she made the call and wouldn't have reacted the way she did to Cinder when she mentioned it. Well it could be she didn't want to do it, and isn't proud of the call. Spring wasn't weak in power, but in control/will. She killed her to relieve her of being a prize for everyone to hunt. That wouldn't meld with her ideals. It wouldn't be the stong killing the weak, it would be the Weak (Raven) sparing the Strong (Spring) from pain they can't handle on their own.

Besides, I doubt she'd be proud to have to kill a scared child all to protect them from the world they live in. It was more than likely a tough call for her to make.
