Yes, that's precisely the sort of thinking I can envision her soothing her wounds with.
I think she'll be more disappointed about losing out to Head Girl than she would have been if she'd lost out to the council. As far as I know she never really had any aspirations about being marked, but she's been dreaming of being Head Girl since the day she was born, practically.
She may not take this loss well at all, but if she falls apart visibly, she'll look weak to her other council members. That's a rotten position to be in. I almost feel badly for her.
But then I remember that I'm Head Girl, and I don't!
