asked:
Is Keiko a psychopath? - she doesn't seem to have any sense of empathy - the means she choses to resolve problems are efficient, not human (extreme case is when she meets her sister and newborn child) - lack of remorse and guilt - lack of emotions

I think sociopath is a better descriptive for what you describe. But, I don't think that is it at all. Sociopaths are always trying to gain and will use people to promote their own game. She is happy living in a small world with routine and structure. She has difficulty connecting with others and I see her lack of emotion as just an adaptive response that she has chosen to remove herself because trying to play the game is too difficult...and painful b/c she can never quite play the game correctly by others standards. I think she is in the autism spectrum.
Judith Rich
I thought so, Tomas.
Marie
Yes, I think so.
Savannah
These alone don't indicate psychopathy or sociopathy. It's more likely she's on the autism spectrum due to her social and relational aspects
