Personality
With the drop or her other healing Specialization, Pidge's personality is actually a little more up in air. BecauseBlizzard can't keep it's lore straight for more than one expansion of some new info that came up regarding Forsaken healers, it's said that a Forsaken either healing or healed by a holy power start to "feel" again both physically and emotionally. I've taken this to mean it's an effect over time and prolonged exposure, while immediate exposure causes the searing pain like what was originally stated.
While the return of some feeling may sound like a blessing, it isn't entirely pleasant when what you're feeling is yourself rotting. It does grant her greater range of sensation, and her emotions have broadened from the depression and irritability that plague most Forsaken. She's still far from a pleasant individual, but she's at least capable of seeing the world outside of her narrow view of "Everything Sucks and I Hate You All".
On the opposite side of the spectrum, lore dictates that Forsaken that wield Shadow Magic go in the other direction. They become more numb and emotionally distant. Also it's a magic that Forsaken naturally excel with, as it's a natural magic that stems from death.
In short, depending on what Specialization she remains in more often her personality can change.
Her travels have done a fair amount to change her as well. The death of the Lich King was a taxing ordeal, but in the end lifted a huge burden from her. With the relief of knowing her mind was no longer at risk to falling to the Lich king, and her revenge sated, she was struck by an overwhelming feeling of "what now"? She no longer has a clear goal, and aimlessly seeks to do what's best for the "greenhorn hunter" she's come to care for immensely. She even went as far as to strike out ahead of him to grow stronger so that she could care for him better, leaving him (begrudgingly) in the hands of a mage she utterly detests, but acknowledges his skill and power of. With nothing to personally work towards, she's settled on gathering strength and fight for whatever she's told to fight for as long as that is where her friend is going. She's resolved that once he dies, she'll allow herself to follow suit and get her final rest at last.
While both her hunter friend and she are working for the Horde campaign in Pandaria, Pidge has remained ahead of him by a stretch. As Pandaria was closed off to outsiders by a strange mist until recently, it's become a mini warzone while the Alliance and Horde scramble to discover the new land's secrets while also trying to kill the other off, while the poor natives get dragged in the middle.
Naturally the whole thing didn't do well to change Pidge's "everyone around me are idiots", but it did actually introduce her to a group of individuals she didn't outright despise on contact: the Pandaren. For whatever shred of humanity she still had in her she couldn't bring herself to hate the humble, and trusting, panda people. For her it was an odd experience to be outright trusted and accepted with no sense of bias from the sheltered locals- who often simply mistook her for being "sickly".She also learned she has a horrible soft spot for baby pandas.
The Strife in Pandaria compares little to what her people have gone through in recent times. since the death of Arthas, and the incident at Wrathgate, where Sylvana's demon subordinate turned against her and took over the Undercity, and attacked their own at Wrathgate. The Forsaken were put in the doghouse after that by the rest of the Horde and have been under much scrutiny thereafter. Sylvanas has done quite a bit of changing too, and it's made Pidge somewhat wary of her. While she would never hold anything against the on who helped her people gain their freedom from Arthas, and took them under her wing (even if she was fully aware they were considered to be tools by Sylvanas), Sylvanas in recent days has been becoming more like Arthas in recent days. After taking in the Arthas' Val'kyre, Sylvanas has been granted the power to resurrect humans to add to her numbers of Forsaken. While in a way such a thing was necessary to prevent the Forsaken from being wiped out completely (since undead can't reproduce for obvious reasons), Sylvanas has been going a little corpse happy, and Pidgette doesn't like it. Thus she feels slightly alienated from her own people for her opinion, as well as the rest of the Horde because of the new distrust in the Forsaken added to what was already there.
All in all she's gone through a hell of a trip, and while she's still pretty much a big hot mess in the head, she's an entirely different kind of mess than she was before.
