I was refering to at the time she rebelled initially against the gods. But as for her being evil now...Possibly? Evil is a term often used, but not aways correctly.

In my book, evil is comitting horrible acts for no other reason to be evil. No higher cause that will benefit the many in the long run, no visions for a better world where everyone is happy. The Joker, in my opinion, is the ultimate evil character, or at least an example off it. Cinder can also seen as evil, as she takes great joy in her actions and will often do it for the thrill of it, and not for a higher cause.

As for debating evil, I'm gonna take Thanos as an example. His actions are brutal, but in the long run, he does have somewhat of a point. Overpopulation is a problem. In the end, he isn't truly evil, I think, but more like 'the end justify the means' kind of antagonist. Antagonists do, in the end, have a goal that will benefit many and they make sacrifices to ensure that bright future happens.

Right now, I think it depends on Salem's ultimate goal, which we still don't actually know, aside from involving bringing down current civilization.
