You never do a 180 on a character. Fans love Regina and changing her character might turn some fans off. You only change a character if they aren't well received by the fandom. Regina is the most popular character of once upon a time with Rumpled. By changing certain traits you risk losing certain fans. Also know one ever does a 180 degree change. Regina doesn't blame everyone for her faults anymore. She blames Zeleena for what Zeleena did.

I do think Zeleena deserves another chance though. The problem with giving Zeleena lead way is that it might back fire. Regina isn't suppose to be like Snow and give everyone multiple chances. I am pretty sure throughout the seasons Snow has regretted giving Regina a second or third chance. Regina is being more realistic about giving someone like Zeleena a another chance. Regina knows how Zeleena thinks because Regina at one point was just like Zeleena. After Snow gave Regina another chance she went and cast a curse that caused Snow to lose Emma for 28 years and etc. Who is to say Zeleena doesn't do the same. With that being said I do think Zeleena deserves another chance. She should be closely monitored by Regina though. Anyone else she would be able to get over on.
