I usually refer to the second episode to prove she is self-conscious. After scolding Ruby, she says "So... watch where you're going!" and turns her head. I may not be a psychologist, but it felt as if she was ashamed of what she just said. She seems to be pushing people away from her, until she talks with M. Port and realizes that, maybe, having teammates is more important than she thought. I think she is really similar to Ruby in this perspective; she is an introvert, she doesn't know how to deal with people, and she has yet to realize how great a relationship can be. Unlike Ruby, she doesn't have anyone like Yang to support it in the process.

To be honest, even though having an abusive father would add a lot more to her personality, I still find it a little bit too predictable. I like to think she is actually the one pressuring herself to be perfect, perhaps to prove herself, or getting some recognition from her father, I wouldn't know. She just said he came home furious. Maybe she tried to a perfect daughter so he wouldn't be as angry, and when she realized it wouldn't work, she became kind of a rebel. This is just a theory and I'm not exactly objective. No matter what, her father still holds an importance place in her life (be it positive or negative), I just don't think he is necessarily the one making her go through all this.
