She was supposed to be depressed after all that?

That's how it seemed to me in UA. They didn't portray the aftereffects as insanity, but depression.

I'm pretty sure, just a little bit, that if you went through that you may just be a teensy weensy small bit of the broadside of forever pretty insane

Nope. You can pull through and get better, and the aforementioned writers (Geoff Thorne and Charlotte Fullerton) said Charmaster both could and ultimately would. To say she'd be forever insane would be a terrible message to send, especially when the character's name is HOPE.

In any case, "Enemy of My Frenemy" is one of the many UA episodes that got retconned in OV, it was never mentioned once and her craziness was explained solely by power corruption ala Kevin coupled with loneliness, with the Darkstar incident being the push. The thing with her father no longer happened (mainly because it makes no sense: there was never any proof that reviving him was her life's goal.)
