Technically we already knew the "cold & calculating" part since First Berry called her "exceptionally clever but only uses that to deceive and betray others"
(I just forgot how to spell 'deceit' because I didn't remember if it was 'ie' or 'ei.' The reason I'm telling you this is because 'ei' is the german word for egg, so I'm grinning like crazy rn lol)
There were also signs that she doesn't care about the lives of cookies, but to be fair, her treating them like shit now does not necessarily mean, that she disliked cookies back then. She treats First Cream Cookie bad too, but yet used to be obsessed with her. ...And apparently still is since she recreated her body..
1) First Eggs general interactions with cookies in Witch's Castle, especially her minions. Creating Net Cookie with only one purpose and dropping her once she failed. Not coming to save Buckweat Cookie. Getting Saffron Cookie to preach to other cookies, so that they will kill themselves.
2) If we can trust the visuals in the introduction video about the Witches, then the body of the Witch of Light turned to life powder as well. Which means that the body we see in that giant egg is newly created. Which would take A LOT of life energy. That energy had to come from somewhere and I wouldn't be surprised if she actually took it from other cookies. I think there were smaller eggs with cookies inside them in that scene. Now if those are new minions being created or cookies being sacrificed and used as fuel is unclear.
3) Saying "This is not important right now!" to Cream, Salt and Sugar when they were talking about creating a perfect world for cookies. Which makes sense, since Witches everywhere were hunted and killed by humans, and the princess should focus on helping her own ppl instead of baking cookies. Imagine getting 12 Witches to bow to your wish of "cleansing the world of darkness" only for you to fall into escapism instead. Devsis told us earlier this year, that the Witches had to give up their own life energy to create cookies. The Witch of Light was out there, saving Witches, saving the other 12, but now she locked herself in a castle on a remote island and gives her precious power away to creatures that will not aid them in the slightest in their war against humans. No wonder First Egg doesn't like them.
One thing that I learned about First Egg in this update was her actual participation in the cookie world. Correct me if I'm wrong, but there are not many egg cookies on Earthbread. So, what did First Egg do? Did she only create 6 angels that'll tell every other cookie "Yeah, you better be grateful our gods are wasting their energy on you" and that's it? With this update I learned, no, no that's not it. Her obsession with the Witch of Light and the life energy she "wastes" on cookies goes much further. Since Nether Queen said that Tartus was created so that "the life energy circulates here and nowhere else" that means that it was able to escape. Which in turn would make the Witch of Light want to give up more energy to make up for it. And First Egg didn't like that.
So her only contriubution to Earthbread is her trying to keep the Witch of Light alive. To keep her from loosing her powers; her status as a (god,) princess, leader and the strongest Witch. This woman is fighting a desperate upstream battle and loosing; forced to watch the person she adored slowly but surely sacrifice her life for some insignificant creatures.
