I think this was supposed to be a part of her character development, from an insecure girl only following in her sister's footsteps to a charismatic leader of a rebellion. The thing is, none of this really worked as the changes didn't land too well and it all seemed kind of forced, especially because she wasn't really a character prominent enough early on for most players to care about her enough for the reveal to actually have any weight.
