With the exception of a few villains who remain imprisoned in some way or another, and one who suffered a mental breakdown and had to be checked into a hospital, everyone she thinks about has gotten their happy ending (even [[spoiler:Chrysalis, who's living a quiet life in a cottage in the Everfree, albeit still under guard]]).
