So, in Firebird (Spoilers ahead) Cruella teamed up with the Blind Witch to take over the Underworld as its new ruler (from what I was able to make out of the scene, that is), because, as highlighted by Regina, she didn't really have any significant magic, especially without animal resources. This isn't the first time we saw Cruella do it; she's been doing this consistently. First, Isaac, then the Queens of Darkness, and it's heavily implied she made a deal with Cora as well, then James, then Henry, and now the Blind Witch. There is a pattern here, and, while one could say that this is simply writer convenience, as Cruella would be a pretty underwhelming villain on her own, I can't help but wonder if any of you have noticed patterns in how other recurring villains act.
