Well, I wouldn't have considered Marble Pie as a villain reformer but in a magical world of friendship, I don't mind that idea, at least in the form of a fan-fiction.

Regarding Queen Chrysalis, it does look like there is no salvation option in sight for her and Andy Price did confirm having such views.

However, if we were to add a little more psychology into this issue, I feel that to reject an outstretched hand/hoof from your "worst enemy" may not mean all that much, as far as future salvation is concerned. Chrysalis regards Twilight as the pony responsible for ruining her projects (and, if we pushed the realism further, that might include the likely death of numerous changelings), so I'm not surprised that Chrysalis wouldn't lower herself to accept Twilight's sympathy so easily. I believe that any proud leader or warrior would have acted similarly.

I believe Twilight didn't really appear to try to reach out to Chrysalis; she merely appeared to feel sympathetic at the sight of Chrysalis' piteous aspect (out of shame for being the cause of the situation, or at least, it might be mistakenly perceived that way). Chrysalis doesn't care for sympathy; she shows none, she wants none. However, if somepony were to make repeated truthful and patient attempts to reach out to her, I believe it might work out in believable ways, if the authors so wished to make it happen (which, again, the official authors apparently don't, I concede).
