She talked about being pulled to do certain things and fighting back in vain. Two words...
BULL. SH*T.
I'm sorry, I just will not accept this idea. I've said it before and I will say it again, characters are who they are. Period. If anyone here expects me to buy that... well, you are out of luck. (Meta: and as I have said before, the idea disgusts me so much that I fully intend to ragequit this game if it turns out to be the intended case)
This doesn't mean I necessarily think she is lying. It's possible she is making this up, either because she is now good but doesn't believe we would treat her well if she admitted to once being evil, or is evil and wants us to pity her. Of course, she could also truly be deluded into believing such a thing. For instance, the her of now could regret some of her previous actions so much, either the mistakes she made that caused her to lose or the evils she committed, so much that she is subconsciously making herself into a victim of a higher power. This allows her to justify her actions without really admitting her own fault in the matter, which is, unfortunately, something that humans tend to do a lot.
Just some thoughts on that matter.
