I'm not entirely interested in the psychology aspect of Umineko since it's filled with truth and half truths, so giving an psychoanalysis of any character in Umineko seems like a wasted effort.
Though I will give it a look some time.

Here's an interesting bit of psychological information that blew my mind on Higurashi. Satoko is an interesting case psychologically as she keeps switching fathers and never grows attached to any. You can attribute her attitude to not having a solid father figure which makes her somewhat unwomanly in parts but not entirely tomboy-ish like Mion. The part that interests me the most are her breasts. Whenever you look at Satoko, you find it weird how she developed pretty large breasts for her age, and you would typically just attribute it to oppai loli archetype and nothing more. However, an interesting point is that girls who lose their father figure a very young age tend to enter puberty very early. This is due to a survival mechanism of patriarchal time when the father figure would die, the girl would have no protection or worth, so being able to enter puberty as a very young age would make her valuable. It makes their transition from childhood to adulthood in a speedy process to ensure the girl's survival and potential of being with another mate.

Hence, the reason Satoko has larger breast than most girls her age isn't just because 'lol she's a loli with breasts!' but because she switched fathers a lot and was unable to connect emotionally to any of them.

The fact that you can explain narratively Satoko's breasts in the story without it being mentioned is mind boggling to me.

Another point of psychological interest, specifically Jung, is when children and autistic people are unable to think correctly, they make up words or repeat themselves. I forgot the actual reasoning behind it but it helps remembering and clearing your thoughts.
You can attribute that viewpoint to Maria as well as Rena to a certain degree.

There is a lot of psychological insight into his work.
