>the guilt for her actions a core part of both her character, and that of her book counterpart
>and that of her book counterpart
Part of Rodion's journey throughout the novel is discovering the true motive for his crime. He was piss poor yet he considered himself above other people. Smarter, more intelligent, he thought he understood the world better than everyone else. And he wouldn't do things that were below him, things that wouldn't lead him to greatness. He wouldn't work for someone, because that would undercut his greatness. He was above it, prideful. Napoleon is someone Raskolnikov aspired to be, and he thought so at the same time as he was indebted to the old woman. You can see the gears turning in his mind: His loneliness, his self-proclaimed genius, his pride, his desire to be great and do great things, how limited he was due to his debt and poverty.
He knew why he did it, but he didn't realize he really did it because of his mental state. It was to assert his moral superiority. Killing Alyona was essentially him hypothesis-testing the idea that he was superior to others, and able to dole out a sort of impersonal, utilitarian morality. The anti-poverty objective behind what he did helped him justify it for sure, but it wasn't separate from the idea of moral superiority. It was: she's bad, I'm better than other people, I should get rid of her because I'm capable of this.
And with the book the continued conscientious objection to it, despite the fact that he was perpetrating it. In the epilogue he feels unrelated to the other inmates, like he doesn't belong there; For he cannot, for the life of him, see himself as a criminal at all. He really found a path into criminality without ever admitting to the task.
If Rodya has even a SHRED of the DNA of the book counterpart, then she doesn't regret it at all. She has a hard time swallowing that she did it all for herself.

Ohhhh me likey, she's the dusty side girl only kept around for beating up the hot box and tormented by unrequited love she'll only ever chase but never catch, repeating the same mistake over, even though she has unconsciously coming to the realization that she's never more than the throw-away-broad to be used and then disposed of, and yet that truth hurts far too much in the end. So she can only deny, deny, deny.
