As noted above under "Chains of Harrow" Palladino referrs to the Lotus as the Great Sentient Queen and states that she created her personality from the dreams and memories of Tenno, copying Margulis' image, to explain how the Lotus is unable to recall anything related to Rell - a fact that the Lotus expresses in disbelief.

In The Sacrifice it's revealed that Ballas is secretly working with Hunhow to destroy the Orokin empire apparently because of the execution of Margulis. He gave him a codex of secrets behind the creation of the Warframes and the Tenno, the source of their power. Hunhow notes in earlier quests that he sought to destroy that source.

The following is speculation: Perhaps Hunhow made his youngest child, Natah, unique - perhaps as a gift to Ballas. She had her mission to infilitrate our ranks and learn the location of the Resovoir on Lua. Styling herself after the Tenno's memories of their mother figure would easily gain their trust.
