Chrysalis is what Starlight would have become if she didn’t accept friendship. Both used to rule kingdoms or villages until someone shows up just to brainwash everyone into overthrowing their leader. Both fled and went into hiding planning their revenge against whoever destroyed what they built. While Starlight made many new friends, Chrysalis remained alone and went insane.
If Starlight rejected Twilight’s friendship, was defeated, and say, sentenced to Tartarus, then she would be released by Discord pretending to be Grogar to be apart of the legion of doom. She and Chrysalis end up becoming great friends allies.

The changelings also wanted Pharynx banished for preferring the old ways, and they celebrated when he was missing. All because Pharynx didn’t like how the Changelings no longer defended themselves and were scared of a fucking malwurf. If anyone can reform Chrysalis, it’s probably Pharynx.
I think one of Chrysalis’ biggest issues is that she is a warrior queen. So trying to convince her to become peaceful like the other Changelings is hard, because war is all she understands.
The narcissistic personality doesn’t help, either.
