Is it correct of me to gather that August's obsession with 'fixing' things and 'making them better' probably stems from some past psychological trauma? The same kind that's make her unequipped to dealing with boredom and unable to handle long term relationships? 

Like, it seems that despite her power (or probably because of it), August prefers dealing with machines over people, but she recognizes that she needs people to live so she enters into relationships with them. It's maintaining those relationships with her analytical mind + powers that's the problem.

You'll just have to get to know her to find out won't you? I don't reveal much about my characters, I prefer it if people interact and get them to open up.
