I find that Regina has lost some of the good qualities she developed over seasons 3b and 4, seeming more like her earlier personality from the first couple seasons. Examples being the way she spoke to Emma in The Price ("You should be thanking me") and the exchange with Zelena in the third Siege Perilous promo which I won't go into since this isn't the board for spoilers. My theory is that when the darkness tried to snuff out her light in season four's finale before Emma took it out, it caused the loss of some of the positive qualities she had developed.
