It doesn't matter whether she's evil, or if she has done horrible things; anyone is capable of being traumatized by the kinds of injury she suffered. I'm not trying to defend her actions, but ANYONE can be traumatized, innocent civilians, soldiers (on either side of a war), literally anyone.

We also do not know her life story, why she is dedicated to her cause; what kind of influence Salem has on her mind from that bug grimm, or a million other factors.

You are judging prematurely a person whose motivation we do not know; and assigning her desire to kill Ruby to being pure evil, when it is far more likely a way for her to reclaim some part of her confidence, which was likely damaged after the SEW powers activated.

She didn't kill Pyrrha for the fun of it, she did it to achieve a goal. the same is true of Amber, and Penny.
