I still don't think we can say she "stole" them, even if she killed the maiden, it doesn't mean:

A: the maiden didn't ask her to(assisted suicide)

B: She needed to kill her to protect the tribe from a calamity the maiden was causing.

or

C. She intended the power go to another candidate who was present(like Vernal), thinking herself ineligible or emotionally removed enough that the power wouldn't be hers.
