As often as Disney princess sidekicks are talked about, it feels to me that the side characters of villainous role are often over-looked. So I wanted to write an artikulo talking about their characters and how evil were they. I have tried to rank them basis 3 primary traits: loyalty to main villain and evil plan, scale of meanness/evilness and their importance of role in pangkalahatang story development. So here's my ranking of the villainous side characters from DP movies. Hope you guys enjoy it!

13. Wiggins:



Loyalty:
madami than being loyal to Ratcliffe, he was a loyal servant of British government. He was madami of a diplomat and took a neutral stance on many subjects like - how to treat savages (Indians) or how to find ginto in new colony. He often corrected Ratcliffe in favor of Indians - gifting Indians on greetings, saying that Indians attacked them rightfully as they felt the colonists were exploiting their resources. But he was also seen to carry out all orders as ibingiay sa pamamagitan ng Ratcliffe without hesitation, including taking care of his pet Percy.
Meanness:
He's hardly an evil mind, rather madami like a clueless person who shares his opinion irrespective if it gained him criticism or points from Ratcliffe. But since he worked with colonists to exploit the new land of their natural resources, that's his only meanness in him that he supported a wrong cause.
Importance of role in the story development:
He's one of the most forgettable character from the movie and his actions barely affected anyone. His interaction with Ratcliffe and his actions in movie are of little recall and importance. His only contribution towards evil plans of Ratcliffe is sa pamamagitan ng invoking an evil idea unintentionally. When he walks in he tent, he seems to have been attacked sa pamamagitan ng Indians with palaso between his head. He jokes at it sa pamamagitan ng saying that it was his invention of a contraption which ignited the idea in mind of Ratcliffe as to how to extract ginto from Indians, which they might be hiding.

12. Percy:



Loyalty:
For better half of the movie, he was very much loyal to Ratcliffe. He often acts as if liking Ratcliffe's action and is seen nodding his head in approval of speech ibingiay sa pamamagitan ng Ratcliffe to his crew members on arrival on new settlement. Later however, he was reformed and joined the Indians.
Meanness/Evilness:
He's madami spoiled than mean. He acts arrogant and pricey most often. Asking for special treatment and treating other below him. But he had a change of puso sa pamamagitan ng the end of the movie and decided to be mga kaibigan with Meeku.
Importance of role in the story development:
He only adds fun and entertainment in the movie and has no significant role or decisions to make. His actions never incites any evil thing to happen or he never does anything bad to anyone except being shocked sa pamamagitan ng Meeku's over friendliness with him and therefore avoiding and chasing him.

11. Lucifer:



Loyalty:
Very true to his mistress, Lady Tremaine but often acted on his own accord, but in favor of his mistress only.
Meanness/Evilness:
He's wicked, sneaky and mean character. He's also spoiled and acts pompous. He saw that Lady Tremaine treated Sinderella bad and always took advantage of his position. He knew he cannot be treated back badly and that his actions will only result in trouble for Cinderella, so he often liked creating nuisances that would make Cinderella's life harder and miserable. He's also very clever and a good manipulator, at one point had Sinderella sent out Bruno because he played a victim.
Importance of role in story development:
His character is madami created for comic relief but also to balance the allies of Cinderella. He's always after the mice and created troubles for Sinderella time and again.His non-stop mean acts often did lead Sinderella in problems. However, his role is quite secondary to the pangkalahatang story and is madami directed towards sub-plots of mice and cat sequence.


10. Le Fou:



Loyalty:
Loyal sa pamamagitan ng default to Gatson. No matter how Gatson treats him, he's always fooling around Gatson and pleasing his ego sa pamamagitan ng going out of his way.
Meanness/Evilness:
His evilness only comes off when Gatson isnt happy with something, though supporting a mean person is mean in itself, his main actions that comes off as truly mean sa pamamagitan ng his own are: passing a snide comment about Maurice as a lunatic and to convince lynch mob that Maurice was a madman to talk of Beast, bcoz no such things exist and to attack on Beast's castle. On his own, he is merely a blind follower of the most popular person in the village.
Importance of role in story development:
He can be remembered for his foolish, babbling fan-following kind of nature. His actions and dialogues are mainly to support Gatson's character. He can be ibingiay worthy attention to cheer up Gatson most often throughout the movie and praise him to ends. His single act that could have led to a possible change was to make the lynch mob believe that Maurice was lying about Beast which Belle proves almost immediately with magic mirror.


9. Duke of Weselton:



Loyalty:
100% towards the gain of his own benefit and kingdom via trade-able goods from Arendelle. Although, he is introduced as primary antagonist to hide the Prince Hans's true identity, he acts an independent villainous character in the film.
Meanness/Evilness:
Even though he's introduced as a comic relief, his primary intentions are to exploit the trade with Arendelle and has keen interest in knowing why the kingdom had locked its gates for years. He wants to establish himself with reyna Elsa so as to reap benefits from Arendelle's trade-able goods. His selfish, pompous personality can be seen through as he's quick to jump to defend himself and accuse others for causing problems. His pure evilness is revealed when he orders his bodyguards to find and kill Elsa, in hope to stop the eternal winters. He's also impatient with Hans when he's helping the kingdom's citizens with warm clothes and demands an action against Elsa for almost killing him. It can be debated that beyond his selfish interest of economic nature, whether he was truly a cold-hearted evil because his actions resulted from the attack on him, his fear of dark magic and Elsa being a sorcerer. Although he did order secretly to kill Elsa behind everyone's back. So his evilness is dubious in intentions.
Importance of role in the story development:
His role is also significant in at least being the catalyst of the story at two points - one for calling out Elsa a monster, making her even madami nervous that she runs away and in turn sets a curse for eternal winter out of fear. And secondly, he also secretly sends his bodyguards along with Hans in hope to eliminate Elsa, which led to her capture sa pamamagitan ng Hans.

8.Hayabussa - the falcon



Loyalty:
Very true to his master, Shan Yu, he never left his side and acted as loyal guard and messenger. He searched for his master in the snow avalanche as well.
Evilness:
He's as ruthless and vicious as his master. He's vigilant and never fails to support his master's evil plans.
Importance of role in pangkalahatang story:
Although he's very secondary in the development of the story, his contribution are nonetheless, significant with his small changes. Hayabusa was the one that brings the doll to Shan Yu, making him think of the master evil plan. He's also vigilant during last ambush attack and retrieves the sword from Li Shang's hold and gives it Shan Yu.

7. Flotsam and Jetsam:



Loyalty:
100% loyal to their mistress, Ursula. They were almost the beloved sons of Ursula and would have done anything to fulfill her evil plans.
Meanness/Evilness:
They are pure evil at heart, enjoy being wicked and exploiting other people's weaknesses and indulge in pleasure watching Ursula manipulate others. They are intelligent henchmen, unlike others, and complete every task ibingiay to them sa pamamagitan ng Ursula. They are sneaky and cunning and are the ones to exploit Ariel's vulnerable situation and leading her to Ursula as a solution. They also aid Ursula in finding out Ariel is in pag-ibig with a human and eventually leading for her to make a master evil plan.
Importance of role in story development:
Their contribution is significant to story line as they are the ones that found out with their unique capability to turn their merged eyes as crystal ball, pagganap as a portal for Ursula to view outside world. They were the ones that inform Ursula of Ariel being in pag-ibig with a human and therefore being the catalyst in drafting the evil plan. Their hindrance in course of Ariel has been of significant attention, first exploiting her very cleverly in her vulnerable state and leading her to Ursula to sign the deal and then later sabotaging the halik between Ariel and Eric successfully to give Ursula another upper hand.

6. The Stabbington Brothers:



Loyalty:
Not at all loyal to any one, except each other. They were neither loyal to Flynn nor to Mother Gothel. They only cared about their self-interests being fulfilled.
Meanness/Evilness:
They were driven sa pamamagitan ng their selfish interest and looked like those who'd do anything to fulfill their greedy goals. They had a brutal coldness to them and nothing pleased them madami that to be able to take revenge from Flynn. They were simply not satisfied with the crown, but were wickedly happy to know that they could take revenge and even get a bigger claim from it. It didn't bother them even in the slightest to change their loyalties so earnestly, which make them cold-hearted.
Importance of role in story development:
Their role was quite important in the anti-climax when Mother Gothel convinced them to take revenge on Flynn and act as her allies. They were crucial in sending Flynn to prison and making Rapunzel convinced that she needs to go back to tower and that Flynn had betrayed her. Their another contribution was in revealing that an old lady tricked them and told them about Rapunzel's hair, which they confessed in the prison, which made Flynn go directly to tower to save Rapunzel, otherwise Flynn had no way of knowing whatever happened to Rapunzel.


5.Lawrence:



Loyalty:
His loyalty is deeply questioned as he was seen as a loyal valet of Prince Naveen initially but it was shown that he was actually only pretending to be loyal and only felt humiliated sa pamamagitan ng Naveen's selfish act and disrespect. Because of Naveen's constant disrespect and his own weak character, he switches his loyalty with Facilier.
Meanness/Evilness:
Because he was ill-treated sa pamamagitan ng Naveen i could say that he was driven to treachery. He was shown to impress Naveen sa pamamagitan ng being loyal but Naveen's constant disrespect made him feel insignificant and oppressed. He's not at all a virtuous man but at least he had a reason to act evil. Eventually his greed and weak character took hold of him, making him go against the good side. It could also be seen that he was madami afraid of enacting as prince but was being manipulated sa pamamagitan ng Facilier persistently to believe that he deserved that respect and has a right to take it sa pamamagitan ng hook or crook if it isn't being ibingiay to him sa pamamagitan ng choice. He's madami like a greedy cheat than pure evil. He was also seen a bit guilty at times for doing this to Naveen but never followed through the path of redemption, so he remains a mean and extremely greedy character.
Importance of role in pangkalahatang story:
His role is quite important to the storyline as he's the one that eliminates Naveen's chance of finding a rich girl to marry and restore his wealthy status sa pamamagitan ng impersonating him. Because he was willing to cheat his employer, Naveen was partly under spell because of him, though it was Naveen's own greed that led him to Facilier and finding out an easy way for his problems. Lawrence's continued treachery forced Naveen to redeem himself sa pamamagitan ng going through a journey as Frog and having to interact with Tiana.


4. Diablo:



Loyalty:
100% to his mistress. He's a loyal assistant and a confidante of his mistress. He's rather a second-in-command and in full knowledge of Maleficent's devious plans about Aurora. He has earned his respect and a kind of pag-ibig from his mistress sa pamamagitan ng being efficient, madami intelligent than the goons under her and a constant reliable help and pinagmulan of information in times.
Meanness/Evilness:
He's a wicked and mean sa pamamagitan ng the virtue of his loyalty to an evil mistress. His evilness reflects in his actions towards serving his mistress in full capacity. He also acts second-in-command of Maleficent's goon force and rallies him against the attack of 3 good fairies, which is also to keep Maleficent winning.But he takes pleasure in knowing that Maleficent prefers him over remaining forces.
Importance of role in story development:
His most crucial contribution that caused the turn of events entirely was to find Aurora in forest in care of 3 good mga engkanto and giving Maleficent an advantage in the plot. She in turns capture Philip, who could have protected Aurora. Diablo is also very intelligent and the only one to notice that 3 good mga engkanto were trying to free Philip, sending the goons to attack and pagganap as an alarm to Maleficent. He served loyal to her mistress till the end.


3. Iago:



Loyalty:
Though he was most often seen tagging along with Jafar and participating in his plans, I doubt he had a loyal heart. At the end of the original movie too, he was madami than willing to save him, knowing Jafar has been defeated, being trapped in the lamp.
Meanness/Evilness:
He truly enjoyed being evil which reflected in his ideas on how to take revenge as well as how they could eliminate obstacles in the path. He was always annoyed with simple discomforts and wanted quick results. He seemed to suggest some foul ideas to Jafar and had filthy thoughts on revenge or cold-hearted back-stabbing ideas. He didn't even bother about Gazeem who was helping them find the lamp. His desperate revenge from Sultan and his outright cruel treatment to him was truly disgusting to watch. The way he imagined that they could just through the little princess down a cliff, was pure evil!
Importance of role in story development:
The fact that he came up with ideas on his own makes him rather madami important to story and bringing new turns in the story every time. His non-stop blabber would spark some evil idea in Jafar's mind. His major contribution was to give the idea of hasmin being married to Jafar and thereby becoming Sultan and stealing the lamp in the anit-climax. Stealing the lamp really did turn the tide of events.


2. Anastasia and Drizella:



Loyalty:
considering only the original films, both are very loyal to their mother, the lead villain of the movie.
Meanness/Evilness:
Both are extremely critical, wicked and mean characters. They take sadistic pleasure in making Cinderella's life harder and madami miserable, treating her to humiliation and mental abuse. They are very cruel and cold-hearted towards Sinderella and were eventually physically violent with her.
Importance of role in story development:
Their role is primary towards story development as through their actions, we saw Cinderella's character strengths. Despite their relentless harassment, Sinderella never loses out her hope and maintains her virtuous character. Their cruel act of ripping Cinderella's dress was a crucial point of story, leading to Cinderella's wish coming true sa pamamagitan ng fairy godmother.


1. Elite Hun Soldiers:



Loyalty:
They are fiercely loyal to both Shan Yu as well as the cause of defeating Chinese Imperial Army.
Evilness:
Extremely ruthless and heartless to the core. They destroy an entire village, burnt it to ashes with no mercy. They take sadistic pleasure in killing people and making fun of those who tell them that they'll be defeated. The evilness run in their blood. They are cold blooded murderers.
Importance of role in story development:
Throughout the movie, their actions are making the story progress. They set off the plot sa pamamagitan ng attacking he Imperial Army on Great pader of China and allowing for them to signal the Imperial Army for a madami challenging war. They attack the village, making the Shang's army on madami alert as well as mobilize in greater effort to save China. Their ability to pick from a doll, which region it belongs to is very crucial to knowing Imperial army position and therefore bringing about the destruction of village. They are also the only ones who survive the avalanche set off sa pamamagitan ng Mulan along with Shan Yu. It was their first defeat and hence made them rethink of their strategy sa pamamagitan ng doing an ambush on Emperor in disguise. Elite Hun soldiers are critical to entire story development.

So what do you think? Would pag-ibig to hear from you all, as always!
