Though can manchild/womanchild tropes apply to teenagers?

Yeah, feels iffy to use wo/manchild for a teenager.

Bearing in mind that I haven't read the book in ages, and haven't watched any adaptations... calling her "psychopathic" feels like a stretch. She's a traumatised kid with an awful childhood who's snapped.

Yeah, it's perfectly realistic for a teenager to act childish.
