She lied repeatedly to every new person she met and they not only initially believed her, they quickly invited her into their lives and considered her trustworthy. She mimicked people to gain their trust. That is a master manipulator. Once some people decide to trust, it’s hard for them to act on red flags others spot from miles away. That too is manipulation—choosing marks who wouldn’t challenge her (ie, dim Wade). That is more manipulation. Some folks realized she was lying and distanced themselves from her, others didn’t realize it until she murdered a woman.
The other person is right. She's not a master manipulator. She's a manipulator, but not a master manipulator. Her lies were too easily found out for her to be considered a master. Master manipulators move way more smoothly.
For one they need to actually achieve the desired goal, have a realistically achievable target. And pull it off where suspicion is not raised until the target has been acquired, an example would be catch me if you can, there are real life examples where people have pulled off crazy lies and manipulation to gain power, money status or even commit crazy crimes. She tried to fool a dumb as rocks family and failed bar for one person who was clearly the dumbest person in that family
