    No, you have been told over and over her many crimes. All of which are Evil. If we are to use the ludicrous bread chart, every action on page has been the equivalent of leaving the bag open. Your counter to this? "There are worse people" "maybe she does good off page" (which, as arguments go, could be said of anyone, down to and including Xykon) and "other people can do evil actions, some of whom are still good", ignoring that those that we know are still good, have regretted and amended their ways, which Hilgya has not.

    She has performed evil actions, on page and off, with no regrets, and told proud stories of said Evil actions. No regret, no qualms, no moral issues with any of them (except the "mudering Ivan was a misplaced target"... but not "murdering is the wrong way to deal with my issues, I note). She. Is. Evil.

    There is a world of imagination
    Deep in the corners of your mind
    Where reality is an intruder
    And myth and legend thrive
