This is a show for kids so they also weren't going for a dark and menacing villain who turns Twilight's friends, brother, and mentor against her, traps her in a forgotten cave intending her to kill her favorite foalsitter and then die of starvation, and sends her army to destroy a city. They probably also weren't going for an even darker menacing villain after her who tries to impale Spike, enslaves an empire, and is graphically killed. Or a superpowered demonic devil-like evil side of a character who up front tries to murder Twilight.

And that's not the image they were going for with Applejack in Simple Ways either.

Though in Chrysalis's case I'd say she strikes me as more creepy.
