Despite this, she seems to tolerate the amateurish Pete as her helper. She is not without scruples, however, and has aided Sora on some occasions, yet, for her own wicked reasons. She also did not lie when she told Aqua that Terra was being affected by the darkness. By the time of ''Kingdom Hearts coded'', she appears to have reverted to her wicked nature and is attempting to destroy Sora one more time, albeit a digital version of him. However, after she is saved by Data-Riku, she stops her attempts to eliminate him (at least for the time being), telling Sora that they are "now even". In ''Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance'', even though she does not encounter Sora, Maleficent appears with malicious intentions and tries to take over the datascape again.

Don't you think it might just be worth our while to search for a connection?

First we must take possession of this "data" of theirs. </ref>Bringing into question how she was able to create Heartless that bore the manufactory sigil.

Another important aspect of Maleficent's character is her superiority complex, which, while shared by many Disney Villains, she takes to the extreme. This is readily apparent in nearly every instance in ''Kingdom Hearts II'' whenever the subject of [[Nobody|Nobodies]] and [[Organization XIII]] is brought up and when she faces them personally. Maleficent's narcissism extends to any Heartless she commands, despite the all-too-obvious difference in power and capabilities of Nobodies in general over the Heartless.

However, her superiority complex is not entirely unfounded as she is easily one of the most forceful characters in the series, her magic rivaled only by Master Xehanort's. Thus, her views of the Organization as insignificant could be, to her, quite true. Ironically, the Organization seems to view her the same way that she views them: as a relatively insignificant threat, shown when [[Saïx]] calmly summons some Nobodies to destroy Maleficent's Heartless and smugly calls her a fool. In contrast to Pete, she possesses extreme and completely legitimate confidence, while her minion is a weakling and doubts their chances of success.

The Heartless were using Maleficent from the beginning. </ref>, Maleficent rightly believes she has full command over them.<ref>'''''Kingdom Hearts Coded''''', '''Maleficent''': Yes. My loyal minions. Drag all that you see into deepest darkness!</ref>

Regardless, Maleficent can show caution and restraint. She never takes direct action against her enemies unless it’s absolutely necessary; instead, she leaves it to allies and minions. Maleficent never challenges a worthy foe unless she has the upper hand, like a hostage to use as a shield. Again, Maleficent shows caution by using an astral projection to check on the progress of her takeover of [[Disney Castle]], as the [[Cornerstone of Light]] is risky to her.
