Easily the most heinous villain in those RPGS by far, but I still wouldn't call her a Complete Monster. She sounds almost exactly like MLP villain Queen Chrysallis, another non-example. Both are outright evil and sadistic despots who take clear enjoyment out of doing evil things to innocent lives and don't seem to care about their people beyond the fact that they're their subjects, but the fact that they are at least partially motivated by trying to provide for these subjects is an altruistic quality. To argue "Sure she's doing this one thing that will truly help her people, but she's so evil, power-hungry, and sadistic, clearly doing all this shit out of love for being bad, so that puts her beyond WIE territory and into CM territory!" isn't really a valid argument because that sole altruistic quality, no matter how slim and how overshadowed by the evil qualities, keeps the villain from being a Complete Monster. Also, if her sister cared about her, then that shows a character who at least saw her with affection even if she had little of it in return. For all we know, she could be slightly less evil were we not seeing her and her actions from the Mushroom Kingdom's point of view.

A heinous bitch to be sure, but not quite a Complete Monster. Thanks for bringing forth the issue, though.
