Rhoda Penmark is a fictional character in William March's 1954 novel ''The Bad Seed'' and the stage play adapted from it by Maxwell Anderson.

== Character overview ==
Rhoda Penmark is an eight-year-old girl, and an only child who appears to be an adolescent role model: she is charming, polite and intelligent beyond her years. Beneath her lovable and attractive facade, however, she is a viscous and vindictive sociopath who is willing to harm and even kill to get what she wants, when she wants. She is also a precociously talented con artist, adept wrapping adults around her little finger, leaving them to believe she is a perfect angel. Her tricks do not work on other children, who can sense that something is seriously wrong with her. They can see past her invisible mask to who she truly is and therefore avoid her. In the beginning of the novel, she brutally murders a classmate and a groundskeeper who suspects her. It is also revealed that she murdered an elderly neighbor and her pet dog a few years before.
March writes that Rhoda's evil is genetic: her maternal grandmother was an infamous serial killer who also began killing at Rhoda's age. Rhoda's mother, Christine, was adopted at a very young age and so she doesn't remember her real parents or who her birth mother really was.
