Badeline isn't evil I thought.

IIRC she isn't exactly real. I don't think she ever interacted with anyone besides Madeline.

So I think it's more that she's a manifestation of self-criticism that evolves from harmful self-loathing into constructive thoughts that enable Madeline to reach heights she never could have at the beginning of her journey.
