Killian Jones wrote: True, but the show never regarded it as a mental illness. They treat Zelena as a mentally ill character, when she is a perfectly healthy cruel person. Cruella, on the other hand, who looks more like a mental case, is treated as someone who just happens to splash in darkness. Zelena and Cruella are both mental cases, just in different ways. Zelena has the emotional development of a hormonal, and jealous teenager when she is a grown woman. Cruella was the only character who could be labeled as a sociopath, and her mother locking her in the attic did not help. The thing is that Zelena, is even less sympathetic than Cruella.... the writers just refuse to admit that.
