Which makes sense based on your interpretation of the character, but your inferences are not the ONLY logical inferences that could be made.
I normally go from step one "What did the character do?" to step two "What was the stated motivation?" to step three "What seemed to be the actual intention?" to the step four "What were the results?". I can't change that this approach makes Rankas actions shine in a bad light. It's how she was written.

And, no, of course I don't hate Ranka. I pity da lil' fool.
