General version: Wants to be magic if the setting has an independent magic available. Does not have an engaged family (original was in a group home but distant family might work). Brilliant. Likes research, being in charge of things, having power, and torturing people. Can be imprisoned and used to do science by a government she sufficiently admires (otherwise probably won’t cooperate).

She says she can have a non-evil version, which I would also like to try out.
Non-evil potential:
If she is raised in a place that has care and attention to its people, a general morality she’d be brought up on of the right sort, and that will work for her as a lacking-cuddly-type-feelings person, she can probably become a potentially ruthless but morally trustworthy local/person. Will want to be involved in science and government.
