Mrs. Mayberry

"You do everything right in life. Play by all the rules and still get sent down here with all the Hitlers and Epsteins of the world, after one measly massacre propelled by blind rage. So, that's why I'm here - to get my revenge."

- Mayberry to Blitzo

Mrs. Mayberry is a sinner demon and minor character who made her debut in "Murder Family".

She hired Blitzo and his crew to kill a woman whom she caught having an affair with her husband in her debut episode.

Human
When she was a human, Mrs. Mayberry had sandy blonde hair and light green eyes. She was seen wearing yellow glasses, a long-sleeved cream white shirt with a white collar, cherry patterns, and a light green brooch on her chest, a green scrunchy bandana, red earrings, a dark blue skirt that went up to her stomach and down to her ankles, black tights, and black flats.

Sinner
As a sinner demon, Mrs. Mayberry retains her human self's body shape and outfit but with devilish features. She is roughly the size of Blitzo, with violet skin, pointed ears, red eyes with yellow pupils, and sharp yellow teeth. She has the same tail as an imp, but has noticeable goat-like traits like horns and lavender hooves. Mrs. Mayberry sports messy white hair and her bandana is now black.

For clothing, she has a dark pink shirt with stitches in place of the cherries that ounce adorned it and an upside-down red teardrop jewel on her chest with yellow on the tip. She also wears a torn black skirt, light red diamond earrings, and salmon pink thin-framed cat-eye glasses. When angry, her eyes glow with a red light and her hair starts waving around her head.

Personality
While she was alive, Mrs. Mayberry was a cheerful and kind person who had a passion for teaching children, preferably while following the methodology of educational lyrics.

However, when she saw that her husband cheated on her, she snapped and was filled with murderous intent, not hesitating to charge straight home guns blazing. She describes her actions as "one measly massacre propelled by blind rage" despite her immediate horrification regarding the bloodbath she unwittingly made her students bear witness to after coming to her senses. She was so wracked with guilt over committing and attempting murder in front of her students that she tearfully told them to simply practice their times tables before going as far as to commit suicide in front of them too.

After her self-imposed death, Mayberry became embittered to the thought of ending up in Hell for one act of blind rage after living a lifetime of otherwise good behavior. She went from bright and cheery to grisly and vindictive, looking to take revenge on the woman who was responsible for her rage fest that ruined her life, which is why she went to Blitzo for this task.

It seems she still has a sense of humor, joking about how the situation was messed up, but she paid for it.

Abilities

 * Musical Talent - She leads the school day with a song she encourages the class to sing along to.

Trivia

 * Her last name, Mayberry, when used as a metaphor, means "a utopian setting" or "a perfect place to live". Whereas, as a noun, it is an ornamental bramble that bears white flowers and edible yellow fruit.
 * Mayberry is ironically voiced by Mara Wilson, the actress who portrayed Matilda, an 8-year-old telekinetic girl who uses her abilities and supreme intellect to battle against neglectful parents and a horribly abusive school principal, all the while finding a kindred spirit in her teacher.
 * She is the first denizen of Hell in the series who has been shown in both their living human form and the demon form they took on after their death.
 * She apparently did not have kids, as she told her husband they could have had a family.
 * She is the second client to make a physical appearance on Helluva Boss due to the fact that the one who hired I.M.P to kill Eddie in the pilot remains unknown, and the Ohioan demon who hired the company to kill a jogger was only seen in their advertising.
 * The first client being Stolas, albeit his appearance was not in person and was during a flashback.
 * Despite Faustisse stating that sinners have different voices back when they were still human, this does not seem to be the case for Mrs. Mayberry. Because of this, it is possible that this information has been retconned, and is not canon.
 * It is also stated that after sinners descend to Hell, they change their names. It is unknown if Mrs. Mayberry did this since she was never addressed as anything other than "the newest client".
