Moody Margaret

Margaret Millicent Maudita Smythe or Moody Margaret is one of the main characters in the Horrid Henry books and TV series. She is seen as the secondary main antagonist and the archenemy of Henry.

Bogey Brain Beetle Bonce Qualities

 * 1) She harbours very sexist attitudes for no real reason. In particular, she has a strong hatred towards boys, making her somewhat of a misandrist.
 * 2) She is extremely abusive and rude to her parents, especially if they don't let her get her own way.
 * 3) *Speaking of her parents, they spoil her rotten most of the time (though they rarely discipline her as seen in "Moody Margaret Moves In"), meaning they could be the reason why she behaves this way. Sound familiar?
 * 4) She and her friend Sour Susan also got Horrid Henry and Rude Ralph in trouble at school in "Horrid Henry and the School Uniform". At the very end of the episode, they tease Henry and Ralph, who retaliate by throwing slime that hits Miss Battle-Axe and Mrs. Oddbod by accident. Henry and Ralph get chased by them; while Margaret and Susan get away with it scot-free, this makes the two girls Karma Houdinis.
 * 5) Her worst role of them all comes in the series 3 episode "Horrid Henry's Unhappy Day", where she steals Henry's comic; makes Henry do humiliating things, and breaks her promise about giving him the comic, meaning she spent the whole episode abusing him without any punishment.
 * 6) Relating to BBBBQ#2, she barely shows any kindness to Henry as she lives just next door to him - even Peter, Henry's younger brother, has his kind moments to him.
 * 7) She's extremely bossy. She believes being a host and guest both mean that she is declared as being in charge.
 * 8) * Whenever she goes to her friends' house, she's the guest and everyone must listen to her, though when guests come to her house, she bosses them around because it's her house, making her domineering in an obnoxious way.
 * 9) Like Perfect Peter, her voice can be very annoying at times - ESPECIALLY when she raises her voice or screams.
 * 10) She sometimes goes way too far in her schemes to make Henry miserable. This is especially evident in "Horrid Henry Tells the Truth" (in which she accuses him of theft in front of the local news) and "Horrid Henry's Hideo/Hidden Video" (where she sends humiliating videos of Henry to a TV show for money).

Good Qualities

 * 1) Her character design is decent and easy on the eyes, especially compared to Miss Battle-Axe.
 * 2) Despite her hatred of Henry, she actually helped him in some episodes, as seen in "Horrid Henry's Horrid Revenge", where she participated in Henry's plan to get back at Peter by getting him into trouble with Henry's Dad in exchange for letting her be the leader of the Purple Hand Gang for the day and the following day.
 * 3) Her dislike for Henry is somewhat reasonable since he also hates the opposite sex and bullies her often.
 * 4) She might have a little crush on Henry, as seen in "Horrid Henry Gets Married".
 * 5) * In the episode "Happy Birthday Peter!", she showed disgust to Henry's Mum when she cheered at Henry disappearing in the magic show, showing that she cares for him.
 * 6) There are some moments where she's funny.
 * 7) She has gotten karma for her actions from time to time.
 * 8) Sue Elliot-Nichols does an awesome job voicing Moody Margret and Scarlet Stitt does a great job potraying Moody Margret in Horrid Henry: The Movie!.
