There's another possibility depending on how things go, but I can't say without giving spoilers or knowing more details...

well, Alëna's Bella could be considered a villain program, since many consider Bella pretty horrible person...

The only real villain on ice is:

Mel Brooks makes the point that villainy is not that appropriate on ice.
Ice dance has some programs that aimed at villainy. Here are some I recall:
The Duchesnay's Tango 1988 - He is a very nasty, abusive pimp
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jMFxoLjFJr0
Delobel & Schoenfelder
2006 Bonnie & Clyde - clearly villains
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_LToZYvF1jQ
Chock and Bates
2019 Assassin's Tango as an EX at Mentor Torun Cup. They are desperately attracted to each other, but each is also trying to assassinate the other. Are they villains or heroes? They got the villainy out front in the EX Version.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=faGnTRLVE1E
Is Carmen a villainess if done right? Who better as Carmen as a villainess than Krylova ( with Ovsiannakov)?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JgXUkYCbAgk
Rahkamo & Kokko
The Apache - she is a prostitute, he is a street thug

Good one! That program of Javi's must be on the top of my villain program list. I had goosebumps watching him skate to it.

I am trying to picture the costume.
I always felt that hat Cruella De Vil had possibilities, and she even has her own title song.
I wouldn't mind (for children) if someone took on the Grinch.

2. Bad guys can be happyIn fact, for me, channelling a sensitive or fun villain is far more interesting than moping around the ice with murderous intent. But maybe you feel differently? Do you have a program that shows that?
I have to nominate Mikhail Kolyada's Baba Yaga gala for this category. Super fun!
And I'd add Akiko Suzuki's Kill Bill to my list, but haven't really seen the movie so hard for me to tell if the main character qualifies as a villain.

he is
Katherine from Wuthering Heights is a villain too (in my opinion even more than Heatcliff) and we have a perfectly skateble song for herOn a side note (but aproposThe same with Lord Vader, unfortunately...
Dracula (Electra Blue already mentioned Bychenko's FP) is only one of vampires that have nice music in the background, take Volturi from "Twilight" for example (but Alena is going to be Bella instead...). Joker (or Partyman) from "Batman" (unforgettable OST by Prince), Kylo Ren from "Star Wars", Khan from "Star Treck", Moriarty (or Irene Adler, or Eurus) from "Sherlock" BBC, Lady Macbeth, Heatcliff from "Wuthering Heights", Cardinal Richelieu from the "Musketeers", the Master from "Doctor Who", Sheriff of Nottingham from "Robin Hood", Jack Randall from "Outlander" (OK, that would be too much.

Richelieu or The Master would be great characters!
the queen of the night! or Azucena from Il Trovatore
i quote you with my blood
but i'd stick with fictional characters though, you know, a real life modern serial killer could be too much controversial or felt as disrespectfull towards the victims and their families , but no problem with Brutus or Caligula or Nero bring it on!well, Alëna's Bella could be considered a villain program, since many consider Bella pretty horrible person...
you need to have a personality to be an horrible person, so bella doesn't fit, sorry

Mikhail Kolyada
2016 Worlds
Nightmare Before Christmas soundtrack

He does a great job as the cartoon villain of the piece.
But I just want to see him skate with this abandon and quality again

Vanessa Gusmeroli as a jewel thief - she really commits to the choreography, and there's sirens and a police chase at the end. It's not my favorite program, even among her own, but she did a good job. NOBODY ELSE did the split she was able to do where she goes down and gets back up from the same position! Interesting moves and choreography, and so unhurried that she has a lot of time to telegraph her jumps and still fit in all the choreography. The 6.0 system in a nutshell!

To me, any character-driven program is a touch and go proposition. In Jason Brown's "Room Where it Happens" is his opening triple Axel combination done as Aaron Burr might do a triple Axel, or is it more like an Alexander Hamilton triple Axel, or Paul Revere?
Most Elvis acts are more Stojko than Presley, no matter how shook up the performer tries to be.
That said, Jason does a super job of suggesting a sneaky politician with the choreography. (Plus the Revolutionary War ponytail of course.)
Also, the choreography in Rudy Galindo's Swan Lake is pretty good in the evil-spell-casting department. (Then he starts blowing kisses at the judges. But who can blame him after that tour-de-force. )

Soon we can be able to see Trusova's Daenerys program.. so, yeah
Shhhhhhhh, those are the spoilers I meant!
And there's still next week's episode. We still don't know how Daenerys's coin has landed, to paraphrase Varys.Similar threads
