I like her better in your version. It's more interesting that she sees the entire world in terms of furniture.

If you make her aggressive sexually, than aggressive sexuality—regardless of kink—becomes the major feature of her character and that's pretty boring, even if the kink is pretty bizarre.

There are lots of stories out there with kinky dominatrices in them, but vanishingly few have a person who is such a strong sociopath that they literally see other people as nothing more than talking furniture. That's pretty intriguing.
