If anything, Regina is the single most developed character. And Cora, one of the other monarchs of Wonderland, is unapologetically evil and makes that clear to everybody. No "boo-hoo, my life sucks and it's some random girl's fault" here.

I agree with this. Regina even said it herself in the last episode. She's not proud of some of the things she's done but at least she owns it.
