So... she is a sociopath.
For not doing the sociopathic thing?

It seems like something a sociopath would tell someone who might tell someone who would probably kill them for saying the latter.

by such over-extended logic, everyone can be described as a sociopath


"oh shit, she said something normal, exactly like a sociopath would do to hide her sociopathism!"

We're talking about the person who fulfills the blood knight trope. Not a normal person.

Evidence, not just describing the trope. :P

Although Bismuth IS a Blood Knight. See also: the stuff she did around the Jacque incident.

And no one comments on the fact that Icarus didn't earn her emotions and instead Kyle made them for her?
Eh. ICARUS isn't the kind of girl you try to talk sense into, between the arrogance and the lasers.

Ones that are basically the real thing.

There's hardly a difference in simulations and the real thing.
Ditto for
Alexander is a construct, Cyrielle's programs, the fact that the Persona canon exists so robots with Personas exist, possibly USEC's old character, Osiris....

note how she did not immediatly advise HILDA to kill innocents for convenience
That sounds more psychopath than sociopath. Note that I'm not sure what the clinical definition of psychopathy is.
For sociopathy, think Peter Wiggin. Sure, he's a bastard, but once he matures he's really good at figuring out what to do to get what he wants. Not all sociopaths are geniuses, but they're more likely to lie than murder. (Although I can think of some squirrels who would testify that Peter's also a sadist, so it's not a perfect example.)
Point is, sociopaths aren't axe murderers.

she is a sociopath because she adviced HILDA to look for alternatives or simply accept her mortality, instead of just killing innocents?
No, she's a sociopath because she can turn off her emotions. That's pretty sociopathic.

first paragraph: disadvantages himself to make fights last longer

ICARUS: fights in ways that highly endanger herself to deal huge burst damage an end fights as fast as possible

You left out a "might"; it's an optional component, like saying that The Lancer might be an antihero. ICARUS is definitely close enough to count.
She also counts as a "sociopathic hero," between her clinical sociopathy and how she acts towards Rose (the first bits that come to mind), but that's half-irrelevant.

she can't do that anymore. She did that with the simulations from Kyles programming whenever they were too inconvenient
