We have no idea what her original plans were for after Beacon fell, because a random-ass exploding monkey wrench got thrown in at the last second. She doesn't have an obsession with pride, she wants power. That's not something that comes from having low self-esteem, it's something that comes from being without power at some point in their life. If a completely unforseen bullshit Deus Ex Machina hadn't shown up she would have all the power and still have proper use of her voice.
