Um, I don't agree with that.Rina, the most ruthless, vicious and brutal killer using poison is like a complete 180 of how she is presented to us by others who knew her. It would be out of character or at the very least not consistent with her character and that is something that I have not seen Hope do yet.
Granted people change over time, but not to that extreme.
You're comparing what she would do to her enemies or total strangers as part of her work as a Serpent, to MC, her son that she likely had been raising for couple of years since birth.
How one acts towards their own family (particularly how a parent towards their child) would be very much different as how they are perceived by friends, or what is known by with their reputation.
Rina choosing to take her own life and her son's life even though still radical (as I said before, shock of hearing MC's father's "death" playing huge factor to it) with poison I'd actually say would be a growth of her characterization; while she could have ended things quickly for herself, if she chose a gentler death to make it easier for her son hence used poison (it's twisted form of love yes, but I guess that's sort of the better outcome one can expect, if outcome was to die either way in a lose-lose situation due to Rina being in despair lol).
So I don't think that's inconsistency, but rather growth to her character (showing she isn't always fixated to her old ways); that is if she does that with Motherhood playing a big factor in it.
