"she adopts orphan children of other races (she is an elf (elves live to be around 400 years old), she adopts tall-men, halflings, etc. (races which live to be ~60 years old)), and raises them and teaches them whatever they desire. she means well and has good intentions but she doesn't understand her children's backgrounds/cultures. as a member of a long lived race, she will always think of her adoptive children from shorter lived races as... well... children. they will always be young kids to her, even if they are fully grown and mature. this leads her to smother them and be overprotective of them. And she refuses to see their perspective and desire to be treated as grown adults. But she does genuinely love them, and her adoptive son who we see in the story is fond and grateful to her, even if he is extremely frustrated with how she treats him like a child. its a complicated relationship."
"AVOIDING SPOILERS AS FAR AS POSSIBLE, her moral ambiguity is a deeply important part of the story. Like Episode 3 is in some ways a battle between her better and worse nature, between her love for her family and her resentment and bitterness to her brother.
As a mother to George, seemingly she's raised him very well, turning him into a perfect gentleman and preparing him for a successful life. However, this was all part of her scheming against her brother, trying to mold him into a suitable heir for the Ushiromiya fortune and usurp her nieces position. She made sure he spent every waking moment in study, leaving him socially stunted and resentful of his peers who knew how to make friends. In a way she's using him for her own petty resentment against her elder brother, but she's also trying to set him up for a good life in the only way she understands.
With Ange, things get both harsher and more complicated. Yes, after the horrific tragedy of 1986, Eva becomes a cruel and abusive adoptive mother to Ange. But, it's possible that, at first, she made a sacrifice on Ange's behalf that slowly twisted her into the monster she became. And part of episode 8 is showing the possibility of Eva becoming a good foster mother to Ange, and genuinely loving her, (and raising the question of whether that love was really in Eva's heart, or if it's just a comforting fantasy)
I know I'm saying "just trust me" because of spoilers, but this is a big part of the ending of the story and the overall theme: ambiguity, and the difficulty in knowing another's heart, and what we should believe about others given that. Maybe her actions (and her possible or alleged actions) are too evil to call her morally questionable. Maybe there's enough goodness in her to be in the poll. Hopefully I've expressed some of it in less than one million words. I'll leave it in your hands."
