I think she's more of a pest myself.  For a demon, she can be a 
nice, wacky person - she's anime evil, which means that we rarely 
see actual cruelty.  Perhaps that mind control of Megumi was the 
worst she's gotten.  Hell, the goddesses certainly don't seem to 
mind her.  The Lord of Terror and that little kid from 97-103 or 
so were more 'evil' in a philosophical sense, and only the LoT 
really followed through.

I thought of using Marller as the villain in my fanfic, but 
decided against it for precisely that reason.  I didn't think 
people would be afraid of Marller, worried that she WOULD 
threaten Megumi.  She just...doesn't have it in her.  She
reminds me of Strikeman, actually. ^_^
