Dottie Underwood is borderline.
Here is my point.
She has confused feelings about Peggy. She is OBSESSED. She loves her, she wants to be her. She is jealous, she said so in season 1, and in season 2 she takes her identity and her style. (she literally changed her hair colour to look like her)
Her fear of abandonment? In season 2, she's being tortured. Physic torture doesn't do anything, but the moment Vernon says "You thought you had a friend in Peggy Carter, I pity you, she was just using you" ??? Her smile DROPPED! When he said Peggy was going to abandon her she didn't say anything, though when it was physical torture, she was like "Hahaha you think you can make me talk? Girl I've pulled out my own teeth, my own nails, my own hair, I've burnt my own skin with a blowtorch. Truth serum? Lol"
And when Peggy arrives to save her? Even though she is sarcastic ("Is this supposed to be a rescue? What a nice surprise!") have you seen her EYES? They are glistening, she is SO happy to see Peggy coming to rescue her, those are happy tears!
Dottie doesn't know who she is. She doesn't build a proper identity. She can be friends with people and kill them the second after because it's her mission. She thinks her identity is defined by the mission, and it's the only way she can be a person. By being better than the others, more efficient, and more deadly. Then Peggy tells her she can be a good person and she is like "can I?"
You'd say "Then she isn't loyal!". She is. To Leviathan, firstly, then to Peggy. She could have told Vernon everything, she was working for Peggy because Peggy needed her, she could have just... Tell him. But she didn't. (she eventually did because Whitney Frost was far more persuasive, but it was torture, and Peggy agreed this pain was worse than having a metal bar stuck in the belly)
.
So she is borderline, and I'd say discouraged borderline
