I also think it's possible that the Shinju's chakra warped her character, a little like Gollum in The Lord of the Rings. Someone becoming warped by power is a popular motif in literature. I saw part of an animated movie version of LOTR (It was either from the 70s or the 80s, and I think it may have been by Rankin-Bass), and there was a scene in which Frodo became corrupted by the ring, attacking his allies and laughing wickedly. Creepy!
