Maybe. It would have to be done in small increments. Just, maybe, starting with Chrysalis realizing that she never listens to anyone, and that isn’t helping her. Just, maybe, something could influence her toward starting to have a bit of empathy for others, and dropping the pointless sadism. It would all have to happen by degrees, and she would have to retain the pride and determination I so love.

I kind of like Chrysalis
@Background Pony #9D79  
So if she like, changed her personality(much like Sunset Shimmer) but retained her original changeling design, would you like it?  
I know it’s unlikely, but MAYBE the writers could open an exception for her, or at least have her struggle an entire season worth of friendship lessons before transforming so we could see her developing in her old-self appearance.

So I take it you would want her to be reformed?
 
Well, then she wouldn’t be the same character I’ve come to love. It would be nice if she, and whatever remnants of her people she can find that didn’t side with Thorax and become–I don’t even know what, to me they look like the unnatural and unholy offspring of a deer and a rhinoceros beetle, dipped in random colors of fluorescent paint, and usually this show’s character design is so much better than that, I really can’t imagine what they were thinking–could show up again, and maybe listen to someone for a few minutes instead of launching into a tirade about how she’s going to conquer the world, like some kind of swaggering warrior queen from a more savage age. And I say this even though I love her for her bluster and boasting, her unwillingness to compromise or back down, her sheer bloody-minded determination to treat every problem as a series of walls she can bash a series of Chrysalis-shaped holes in between her and her objective.
 
Aren’t Changelings capable of loving one another? (from a Tumblr comic about Chrysalis: “No, we’re all just big jerks!”) Could someone not be found who could love Chrysalis for who she is–not what she can do, not whatever power she wields as a Queen, not for simulating someone else, but for herself? She is, perhaps, not an especially lovable character, because she is cruel and heedless of others, but perhaps those aspects could change without changing everything else?
 
But then again, if she changes, then she’s no longer the same character to whom I’ve formed this entirely unreasonable and perverse attraction, is she? I am torn.

Because, whatever your other flaws–the megalomania and arrogance are neither helping you toward your goals nor making you more sympathetic, and the pointless cruelty and disregard for others are distasteful, for example–you are a very determined, very single-minded villainess. You have renounced every impulse that could have led to your redemption. Like Satan in Paradise Lost, you have said “all Good to me is lost; Evil, be thou my Good.” You grasp that the ends and the means are one and the same and that to desire one is to desire the other, and you’ve made your peace with that. You don’t compromise, and–ironically, because your powers revolve around impersonation and mimicry–you are far too proud to lie, you never make excuses for who and what you are and what you do. You would rather break than bend. And I have to respect that kind of determination, that kind of single-mindedness. The Finns call it “sisu” and consider it one of the highest virtues. And I know we’re unlikely ever to see a “reformed” version of you for all of those reasons then again, it may be that the writers have something planned; isn’t a “chrysalis” something ugly and spiky that crumbles away to reveal something beautiful inside?
 
Between the austere beauty of your character design–you’re not as pretty as the Princesses, but you’re not supposed to be, because in a kids’ cartoon we are supposed to grasp instinctively that only the beautiful can be truly good and only the good can be truly beautiful, and that a warped and disfigured appearance must always be matched with a warped and wicked soul–and the lovely voice acting done for your character by Kathleen Ball, you’re one of the characters I find most interesting, and we don’t see nearly enough of you.
 
And, while I adore Princess Celestia, I adore you too. You’re her warped shadow, the opposite side of the coin. Both of you are proud warrior queens who fight for your people and do what you believe you have to do, without hesitating or flinching from it. She’s prettier, though not that much prettier. She’s nicer. But you’re both ultimately more similar than different. It’s a pity you could not share a world in peace.

Because you have standards and, like most of us, find the new version of your species hideous. Also, why would you be convinced by Twilight Lite if the original didn’t convert you?
Background Pony #2CCA
Because the fandom would have been unhappy if you changed because of New Twilight.
