No, except for the first, the free BB2 fragment which took place before Rheya became a vampire, she was depicted as bloodthirsty because ALL of the other fragments about her were after the Sons of Ares killed her family.

But there was a hint. When Xeno had doubts about the further conquest in the BB2.9 fragment, Rheya says "You know... you know what they did. What they took from me." And in BB3 in the first, free fragment it is explained that first she wasn't evil. Then in MC's vision and Gaius' words they showed us, once again, now making it explicit, that it's actually her family's death that made her like this.

It was not at all some random, sudden change. They were building it up, just very slowly and the strongest hint was only one line. But if you read the stuff I quoted and the BB2.9 and BB2.13 (Xeno's betrayal) carefully, you'll understand that this is what the writers always had in mind. BB2 elaborates on her feelings towards humans, BB3 explains the cause of it. I think her reason is not well-executed enough, doesn't show the pain properly to make it believable, I'm waiting to see if the Tree's power may be also at play, how the darkness of it took over which would be a stronger argument. But it's not at all inconsistent.
