"That was kind of the point of the Isle," she said bitterly. "Put all the villains off where they can't bother anyone but each other." She made a face that made it clear she was frustrated. She didn't even try to hide it. "Each other, and then once we were born... us. Carlos was basically his mother's slave. Evie's mother made it clear to Evie that beauty was all that mattered and beat into her head that Evie'd never be as pretty as she is, never mind that she's an ugly old bat and Evie's gorgeous. And more? Like Carlos, she's smart. Very smart. And then there is his lordship of the faded velvet tracksuits and annoying pet parrot. And of course, Maleficent." She waved to where the image had been. "The worst of the worst reduced to being the worst in a whole other way."
And all four kids could have died or worse in Auradon and their parents would only care that they hadn't gotten what they wanted first.
