She is trying to peg me as a monstrous person. (not a translation, but it´s somehow
A related expression - or you could use it in other contexts)

It´s worth noticing (to the Brazilian learner here), that "rufia" is a word used in Portugal to mean "arruaceiro/alguém que arruma problemas (ou só arruma problemas na rua, etc).

Little correction:
She is trying to make me seem like a troublesome person/guy.
She is trying to make me seem like a troublemaker.
She is trying to make me seem like an angry and difficult person/the one with a foul temper.
