OK, so I got a good bit into the audiobook to see what Ratched's character is like. Simply put, she is a perfectionist who wishes that every patient that was sent to the institution would be Chronics, essentially under her control. Her obsession with perfection extends to her going through several candidates for her staff. If they were to go against her wishes, she would make their lives miserable to the point that they would beg to be transferred to another ward. So far, she doesn't have any noticeable mitigating factors, so I'll see if that changes later. Right now, she is a woman who's obsessed with perfection and maintaining her power.
