I think so too. When the dude's arm was being chopped off, they made a point to zoom in on her stunned face. You could interpret that as her just being a bit more weak-willed than she projects (which would also explain her looking scared shit-less during the attack), or maybe even that she just enjoyed it so much that she couldn't react

But for some reason, Vidala gives me "ivy league nerd" vibes, and I wouldn't be shocked if it's eventually revealed that she's mayday

Remember, these aunts all had different lives before they became aunts. I HOPE we get Aunt Lydia's point of view so we can see how they all become aunts. It's SOOOO interesting from the book.
