BTW, Wikipedia states
"After the events in Tsukihi Phoenix, she overcame all of her trauma, and finally became a completely common cheerful girl. She starts referring to Araragi with a cute nickname, chuckling at small things and sending e-mails full of Emojis, although her sharp tongue is still there, but toned down." - About Hitagi
Common cheerful girl? Was her character ruined? I wouldn't mind seeing her smile a little bit more, but I like her somewhat cold personality. If she goes within a mile of semi-genki, I'll shoot myself right now.
I mean, judging from her reactions in Otori, about her having to kill Araragi's murderer and not killing anyone until graduation so that their work wouldn't be in vain, I guess most of her "trauma" persona is still there, but I'm interested in knowing if this change is natural or just character-breaking.
Also, if I remember correctly, Kanbaru said that she used to be a normal girl. Did she went back to that?

Depends on how you look at it. The change isn't very noticeable. In Shiro when she found out Hanekawa slept alone in the school ruins she totally broke down and cried her eyes out. All I can say is she has more emotions now.
As for her in Otori, I think it's just her being calm in that situation since one false move and Araragi and Shinobu would be done for. I personally find Hitagi the hardest person to dissect character wise since we know the least about her compared to the other female characters.
FYI although it seems like its setting is pointing towards the day of graduation, other information is contradicting it. Graduation takes place in March and winter vacation takes place in December. The cover features snow so either the book spans over several months or this book talks about Hitagi's preparation for the destined day rather than the day itself.
Also, I'm pretty sure I've this already but unless Nisio intends to leave the story incomplete, a third season inevitable since we still don't know what happened during the missing timeframe in Shiro.
