Since we are not sure of what THIS Evil Queen is capable of, in terms of psychopathic behavior, the only thing to judge her against is the EQ from the EF.

Regina had a tendency of holding the hearts of her loyal guards (recall that in SotD, when she crushed the heart, one of her guards died). She tended to take the controlling approach, since that gave her a guarentee that the guards were completely (and robotically) loyal to her. Her goal was to rule the kingdom and discredit Snow, and once Snow escaped to the dwarves,to kill her.

If the EQ as she is now is anything like the former EQ, then Snow had better be on her toes, as should Emma. Of course, they beat her before, so they can do it again.
