The Devious Maids are the titular main protagonist villains and anti-heroines of the Lifetime award winning mystery comedy drama series Devious Maids.

Biography[]

As the title states, the maids are a bit different but also devious in their own way i.e. Marisol is a sneaky, snoopy and cunning detective, Carmen is a mischievous opportunist who will do anything to get what she wants, Zoila is a manipulative control freak who wants to control everything, Rosie is a gossiping and eavesdropping lady who pries onto her employer's business but also a mistress and Valentina does have her devious moments (which aren't that devious but more anti-villainess-like.

They are a close-knit group of maids with aspirations and ambitions and have to juggle those as they work for the melodramatic rich and powerful families of Beverly Hills.

While hanging their dirty laundry, the five maids also stumble onto their employer's secrets and gossip about them.

Initially, Marisol Suarez only took the job as a maid because she went undercover to find out the real culprit of Flora Hernandez' murder. As she does, she only befriended her friends (the titular maids) so that she can find out more about Flora but later on became their friends as she felt that she was using them.

When finding out who the actual murderer is and the maids found out her agenda, they initially helped Marisol to orchestrate a plan to catch the murderer which kind of succeeded.

As for that, Marisol still became their friend, regardless of being a college professor and another "Beverly Hills rich lady".

Even though the maids have committed some deviously villainous acts, they are genuinely friendly, caring and polite Affably Evil Villains, regardless of them being advertised as truly devious. Initially their goals are good but their means of getting their can be morally grey. Therefore due to their affable nature, morally grey tactics, ability to care and comedic personas, the Devious Maids can be considered as morally ambiguous anti-heroines.
