I don't think she would fit the mold of a narcissist because they believe they are better than everyone already. Rather, she had a need to be better. Consequently she would put people down - usually targeting those already weak in self esteem - to make her feel better for her own inadequacies.
That actually fits the mold of a narcissist completely. They aren't secure. They keep themselves very busy putting down others to pull themselves up.
