[spoiler]Considering what those particular people did to her, its not really cruelty. Vengeful, sure - thats different than cruelty though. Cruelty would be just taking pleasure in pain in general. I wont even continue on the topic as I'm not sure where you are in Storm of Swords. If someone kills your father, for example, wanting to kill them is not cruelty per se. Especially as a good portion of the people on her little chatechism are either serial killers or directly responsible for the downfall of her family. Considering that shes only 11 in the books and what shes been through I'd say shes rather pleasant for what you would expect from a kid in that situation.[/spoiler]
There are a handful of just straight up evil characters, like Sandor Clegane - but most of them do tend to act a bit more layered than most completely two dimensional fantasy fiction characters.
