Maggie is rather vindictive and aggressive compared to Lucy. Maggie does not fit the stereotype of the docile well-behaved little girl.

I don't think this answer would suit to this quotation

Medusa in fiction books is a snake faced evil goddess

maggie pushes Lucy in jealousy and anger that's why she is considered this!!
