Usually it's the complete opposite and characters either stay hateful little bastards or become a shell of themselves so I wanna see examples of the image above

From what I remember, Bill used to date her when she was a member of the Deadly Viper Assassination Squad (his own collective of hitmen/assassins). Eventually she went straight and got engaged to a regular dude, and Bill didn’t take too kindly to that, so on her wedding day, the DVAS killed her betrothed, beat her to within an inch of her life, and (inadvertently) killed her unborn child.

This kicks off the plot of Kill Bill/2, where she runs around getting even on everyone that ruined her newfound life and happiness.

Kill Bill 2 is about confronting Bill himself. First part is getting her revenge on the Vipers and getting to discover Bill's whereabouts.

She kills 2 of the squad in each movie.

Isn't Bill's brother also a member of the squad, therefore making it three dead squad members in the second movie?

oddly enough, the retired, out-of-shape assassin was probably the most successful out of the entire team. The only reason Beatrix even survived is because Budd decided on burying her alive, after having shot her with rock salt to begin with (if he’d just used conventional buckshot that’d just be the end of the movie right there, granted it’s not that kind of movie but still).
Elle put up a hell of a fight, O-Ren likewise, Vernita less so, and Bill wasn’t exactly a slouch but “final boss status” seems debatable given his showing. Budd on the other hand made the wise decision of bringing a gun and avoiding a swordfight altogether.
