The rogue Carla's reformed (6)

I believe the answer is:

rascal

'the rogue' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'carla's reformed' is the wordplay.
'reformed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'carlas' anagrammed gives 'RASCAL'.

(Other definitions for rascal that I've seen before include "Villain" , "A mischievous and maybe dishonest person" , "mischief-maker" , "Horror" , "Lascar (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
