Like with all EVE RP, people do as they please when they please. If you want to reboot the toon, then reboot the toon. Use a little creativity and it should be all gravy.
However, do not expect others to understand or accept it as face value that she is a different person than the psycho bitch we came to know. People will rip on her for her past actions for a very long time, maybe never relent - no matter how much they may have changed or continue to change. I've noticed that the EVE RP scene IC and OOC very much operates along the lines of 'when you do right no one notices, and when you fuck up no one forgets'. So changing your character fundamentally by reboot or otherwise is not a particularly easy road to take.
This is not discourage you on what you want to do, just as not so gentle reminder don't be surprised if people have hard time of adjusting or even go out their way to oppose you. A lot of people tend to get sand in their respective genitals when you do something that does not fit their view and interpretation of the setting, or if you do something that is in the shades of grey or outside the box.
In any case good luck on the reboot of the character. May the RP Scene Police be kind to you.
