It's implied that before she met Ballas again, she really cared about the tenno and took Margulis' place and personality. When Ballas talked to her, mistaking her for Margulis, memories of being Hunhow's daughter surfaced and she went back to being a sentient, tricking Ballas (she probably revealed that she wasn't margulis to Ballas after turning him sentient, since he curses the lotus in chimera prologue for tricking him).
