Answer: She is portrayed as a psychopath with an uncontrollable urge to kill.

I wouldn't say that she had an "urge" to kill. Rather, she was willing to "dispose" of people by killing them. She would kill people who were in her way or were no longer interesting/useful.

Answer: I would say her motive mostly amounts to exploiting others and real-life stories to create more fascinating and complex stories to satisfy her insatiable ego, whether she chooses to kill them or not in the story.
