To your credit, your Charmcaster is about 100x more sympathetic than what was written in that stupid episode. You really make her seem tortured, with her life messed up beyond her control (it's not her fault a monster killed her father and that her uncle proceeded to abuse her as she grew up, and anyone would be messed up after that) and her really struggling to fight the negative effect it has on her but ultimately to no avail.
The way you write her (in Number 7 especially), she doesn't WANT to be evil or kill people, but it ends up happening anyway. That's just tragic. Y'know, I actually think you'd be able to write a good Charmcaster redemption fic. You can't change what happened in the show, yes, but you can do your own thing to mend the damage it did. And IMHO, the best way to mend it is through redemption, since when written like you write her, Charmcaster has every right and reason to follow Kevin's path from evil to good, and overcome the pain in her life.
