I mean it doesn't matter because Ranka can be an interesting, lovable character whether or not her motivations are pure
or selfish. The reason people dislike her is because she was written badly, not because of her actions. Any action, with an interesting enough motivation, can make a character better.
Even if Ranka's motivation was pure as the driven snow, I don't think it would stop me from being disappointed in how her character ended up and the lack of empathy she displayed to her home and loved ones as shown by the narrative itself. Pure motivations only matter when the characters are torn because of them. Making Ranka a martyr isn't going to change anyone's opinion of her.
