I think Sunehri has had to fend for herself, with continuous bullying by the two con-artists Shishupal and Rozy too. What she displays to them is not the slightest bit affectionate. More like a nuisance-like bullies. Maybe she was bullied a lot as a child, but as she grew she started rebelling.
She falls back to her Bappa for spiritual support and she keeps her human side that way. SHe probably has a very skewed sense of what's right and wrong.
She has never had family, so she has never felt the need to defend anyone. But once she finds her family, I'm sure her selfish ways will end.
She needs a backstory, then we can understand her better. She hasn't had any meaningful comversations with anyone...

Since I don't know your name dear I'll just refer to you as Sage...hope you don't mind.
Ok lets put aside my background as a socialworker/researcher aside because believe me I wasn't flaunting it out here...(this actually happens to be one field that many people really look down upon in my experience and I don't mind, but I make it a point not to talk about it with strangers)
Since @minnie2308 was talking about Seher's background as a street kid or someone who was raised up to swindle money by foster parents I was just saying that her behavior of agreeing to take Sanam's place for money actually is insufficient to be explain away as to be a result of her background.
Anyways, you are actually right in what you said, and my points in nor way contradicts what you are saying either.
Yes different troubled children, orhpaned and street kids behave differently and actually the vast majority of the really troubled and street kids are used for prostitution or become drug addicts or are used for drug paddling and they depict some really horrible behavior traits that are very difficult for them to get out of and most never get out of it.
But a small amount of street kids and foster kids are lucky and they fend for themselves and they even end up being great contributors to society in their own way...and actively take part in the larger society just like kids with normal backgrounds.
Seher's behaviour shows that she is very independent and even those foster parents or care takers, (rosy aunty and uncle) does not actually have that much of an influence on her, which is why she was able to stand up to them the way she did when she decided she wanted a life with Rehan. At first it seemed that she is very much influenced by them but later her behaviour showed that even though she has some level of fear cum obligation feeling towards them, they don't actually have THAT much of an influence on what she does and how she lives her life.
Believe me if they had real influence on her she would not have been able to stand up to them just like that and the most she would have done to escape from them would have been to run away. Kids who are under the influence of people like the rosy aunty shown here, have this terrible fear connected to them which they just can't get rid of easily, much like those experiencing domestic violence.
Seher has this hunger for money which partly can be attributed to her background as a street kid and she just takes peoples' money and leaves without thinking about what she is doing and what kind of harm she is doing to people in the process because she is not there to see the consequences of her actions. So she is a negative character but does not mean she is a vamp actually.
Even swindling the dabewally does not make her a vamp though here her character is shown to be a bit more grey than we were expecting from the beginning.
Now agreeing to impersonate someone and actually living in their home while the actual person is being forcibly kept somewhere puts her among vamps because now she is actually agreeing to ruin some innocent people's lives here.
Even someone like me or you who had a normal childhood can still become a negative character like her and have a fancy for money and agree to do almost anything for money...
Yes nurture plays a big part in how we turn out but nature also has its' influences. As human all of us are actually "capable" of many horrific things but majority of us don't act upon these.
As for the human the side of Seher and her redemption, ofcourse she can be redeemed and as she is a parallel lead she would be redeemed no doubt...But actually even Tanveer can be redeemed and even She has a human side, like her love for Rehan...Don't we muslims believe that all actions can be redeemed except for Shirk, if we repent properly to Allah and those we harmed. So even Tanveer can be redeemed.
But that does not mean Tanveer is not an absolute witch right now and similarly Seher is definitely a vamp right now.
Thats all I am trying to say here actually, I don't like vamps be it Seher (agreed to a much lesser level compared to others) or Tanveer or Raziya.
