She's just plain evil. I hate Maven so much, even more than Elenwen and that's saying something. One of the most frustrating things about Skyrim is that there's no way to kill her. Unfortunately she's central to the Thieve's Guild's hold in Riften. It's sad to see how Jarl Laila is so manipulated by her, and if you side with the freakin' Empire she's placed as Jarl....blagh. Even Laila's steward, Anuriel, is clearly a spy for Maven. Even without looking at incriminating message in Anuriel's room, lines of Anuriel's dialogue reveals how she persuades Laila to direct men from protecting the city out to protect the outer walls, so Maven, whose emprie feeds on Riften's crime, can further root her ownership over the city. When Unmid questions Anuriel about this, she asks him to "discuss it in her quarters" and is basically using sex to keep Unmid from questioning how she directs the Jarl.

Maven's an evil, crime lord C word and so is Anuriel.
