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. Zelena is far more sympathethic. Cruella killed her parents and step parents just because. Zelena hasn't even killed anyone directly and she makes valid points all the time.
