baddie

Story's evil character

A baddie is a villain or antagonist, especially in movies, TV shows, or stories.

The term is informal and often playful, used when the villain isn't particularly menacing: The kids cheered when the superhero defeated the baddie.

In recent slang, baddie has taken on a second meaning: an attractive, confident person, usually a woman, who projects a bold or fierce persona on social media.

She posted her vacation pics looking like a total baddie.
