Yes I think that it is believable. I think her change is fairly analogous to the change we see in Frodo. It's a change caused by torment and sorrow. There are differences in their causes of sorrow but some similarities. Both were wounded by the Witch King, which caused great hurt and sorrow. Both suffered mentally due to this and other causes (I don’t' have much time to expound but we know them) and I think it caused both of their temperaments to change to extremely peaceful. Not that Frodo was ever blood thirsty but all the more after his hurts he didn't want to even pick up a sword in defense of the shire. Eoywn feels the same. After such hurt she wants to heal
