Well, as a bride of Satan, presumably she would be hostile to the community, and try to sow dissension and despair, as was often alleged (for example, by causing livestock to die mysteriously). Even assuming something less lurid, as a person whose stock in trade was love potions to make a man forget his wife and cleave to his mistress; or amulets to make a man win at dice consistently (a virtual cheat); or charms to harm ones enemies, even unto death; or spells to dim the reason and force people to one's bidding; or incantations to set loose creatures of the underworld to help one in mischief; then a witch would necessarily be a dangerous and criminal creature, would she not?
