Medea was the one who married Jason (of the Argonauts and the Golden Fleece fame) and who ate her own children with Jason when he sought a younger and more beautiful princess. She was a great sorcoress, powerful, passionate, and very cruel.
I would like to say Electra, but that's probably quite simply because Electra was an Atreides. Her father was Agamemnon, who had been murdered by her mother, Clytemnestra and Clytemnestra's lover, said to be a first cousin or other close relative of Agamemnon's. She lived a life waiting for and preparing for vengeance of her father's murder, and convinced her brother Orestes to kill their mother. The waiting for vengeance for her father's murder would fit, as would the exile following her father's death, but Jessica obviously did not kill Leto (though other relatives of Alia's did). Alia certainly did help Paul bring down the murderers of their father, though.
