I'm just a minority and a retard who didn't understand the game according to the shills here (since I don't think this game is a 10/10), but the implied answer, in my opinion, is that Maelle is a "Writer" and she "Wrote" the fire into existence which killed Verso and scarred her. She is blamed for Verso's death because she did cause it. If you look in her room, there is nothing about painting at all, nothing about music either like Clea and Verso's rooms. All she has are books and typewriters, and Clea says something like "the Writers used [Maelle] against us". I don't know what broader narrative there is with the Writers and how they interact with the Painters or whether or not Musicians are also a thing (as Clea and Verso are both implied to at least dabble in being Musicians) and I don't know how many layers on Inception we are in during the events of Expedition 33, like is the "real world" actually a "Written" world and is still not the real world? But that's what Maelle did, probably.
