Stussy seems to have some really interesting self-worth issues.
In chapter 1101 during the Kuma flashback, she says "I wonder which of us has the most checkered fate: the human that lacks free will or the clone that doesn't", and Vegapunk has to remind her that she's just as human as anyone else. This calls back to his statement during Stussy's identity reveal in chapter 1072 that "Even if the world doesn't accept how she came to be... the girl is unmistakably human!"
Yet despite Vegapunk constantly emphasizing her humanity, she seems to just think of herself as yet another one of his experiments. In chapter 1101 she describes herself as a clone as opposed to Kuma being a human- as if clones are somehow inherently inhuman. And in this chapter she worries that Vegapunk "would never forgive her" if she let the Strawhats get caught, and she also seems to have no dreams/desires to live for now that he is dead.
It honestly reminds me a whole lot of Sanji's backstory. Both are humans created/modified through artificial means by scientists yet they have major differences: Judge goes out of his way to prevent his offspring from having emotions, thus making them less human, and believes Sanji's human emotions make him a failure. Yet Vegapunk believes that replicating humanity accurately is most important and revels in it ("...the girl is unmistakably human! It was a success! I bear witness to this achievement... and I maintain that it is a huge step toward world peace! -chapter 1072). Just as Sanji can't accept the inhumanity that Judge wants him to embody, Stussy can't accept that Vegapunk made her just as human as anyone else.
I have no idea where Oda is going with this but it's fascinating!
