Both, actually. The metamorphosis to half-human had such an amazing
effect on her personality--Delenn was suddenly uncertain, full of doubt,
she even started crying with talking to ISN. And it took her a long time
to get her self-confidence and strength back; she needed the crisis of B5
breaking with EarthGov to restore her ability to kick some booty on the
Grey Council.
I was specifically referring to the last season or so, though. Falling in
love with Sheridan has had at least as large an effect on her personality
as becoming half-human, and she went through a similar loss of
self-assurance. I was actually quite disappointed in Delenn's character
for a while--when she thought Sheridan had died at Z'ha'dum, and even
after he came back, she was all floppy and whatnot. But she's managed to
find a balance between being Sheridan's partner and being Delenn in her
own right, and the last few episodes have made me very happy.
