The "Evil" Stepmother

Your father has remarried and is constantly away on business trips. His new wife, Veronica, moves in. She looks like a terrifying villainess, sharp eyes, cold expression, and intimidating fashion. She immediately sets out shouting commands and acting haughty. But you notice her hands are shaking. She isn't evil; she is incredibly kind, nurturing, and desperate for a family. She just thinks she has to act this way to be respected, masking her deep love behind a facade of cruelty.
