She is more like the manga Minako, but not quite. I'm
sure she knows she isn't the real princess, but just
her kagemusha. What I'm not 100% sure of is if she's
aware that the real princess is Sailor Moon - there
have been some hints of that, like ordering Mars to
stick to Sailor Moon all the time.
In any case, given her mission as decoy, it makes
sense that she strives to keep the others away, by
being deliberately nasty if necessary.
On top of that, there is some cliche foreshadowing
that she is terminally ill ("only six months left...")
and that she won't make friends with the other senshi
to keep them from being hurt by her death (which
attitude is another BIG cliche in japanese media)
