Moody Margaret

Margaret Millicent Maudita Smythe (more commonly known as Moody Margaret) is Horrid Henry's neighbour and arch enemy. She is the main antagonist / anti-heroine of the Horrid Henry franchise. Margaret forms the Secret Club in her back garden, and this club often rivals with the Purple Hand Gang with her and Henry living next door to each other. Henry steals her treats in "Horrid Henry Tricks and Treats", and Margaret responding by bawling back, 'I'll get you, Henry!' as seen in the quote at the top. Behaviour Rating 5.
In the TV Series, Sue Elliott-Nicholls voices her. She can scream if she does not get her way. This has happened in "Horrid Henry Tricks and Treats" when she screams after she sees Henry stealing her treats and also in "Moody Margaret Moves In", she screams so loud after Henry kicks her toys downstairs. The effect of her screaming in this episode was that it broke the glass, made shelves collapse and make the light shatter. If you ever hear Margaret and Henry screaming at the same time, you can only hear Margaret.
Margaret comes from a spoilt upbringing as her parents give her anything she wants, which could influence some of her nasty behaviours.

=== Stuck-Up Steve ===
Margaret and Stuck-Up Steve have rich guardians, but Steve's mother Rich Aunt Ruby is alot richer than Margaret's parents. However, a difference between them in terms of wealth is that Margaret is ungrateful of what she has most of the time, and doesn't seem to realise how much her parents spoil her, while Steve understands his mother is rich, and seems to appreciate her. Though Margaret likes bragging about expensive things she gets she isn’t really snobby, while Steve is snobby and rude. She also lives in a house around the same size as Henry’s, while Steve lives in a mansion.

She might have a romantic interest in him.

Margaret was also there when Perfect Peter had beaten up Bossy Bill in "Perfect Peter Pumps Up" and was hiding behind tables and chairs like everyone else, as they were scared of Peter's transformation. However, she didn't seem to know Bill in the early series, and as a result, didn't say anything about the situation.
