I'm just gonna guess that it's all metaphorical. I think perhaps that she was raised to high standards, emphasis on achievements and results "always yearning", perhaps to prepare for this "royal test". Such an upbringing wouldn't lend itself much for time to make friends or have fun, leading her to be lonely and cold. I see her as initially being more aloof and standoffish to the others, especially Ruby as she seems to give off a more mischievous/playful feeling, but that she will warm up as time goes on. Perhaps the term "kuudere" could apply here.
