* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Believed Adalind was a good person despite Nick and the other's warning her about her, Adalind does get better after her CharacterDevelopment but still. She even believed that Kenneth (who was a Royal) was going to just get Diana and leave Kelly unharmed after luring her to Nick's house, yeah, guess again.

* CharacterDevelopment: Adalind started out as an uncaring sociopath with little regard for anyone, but after Diana was born, Adalind gained a softer and more protective side. When she was having her second child with Nick, she developed a new caring side to Nick and went from being his enemy to his lover while they raise their son together. This development was especially shown after she was forced to leave Nick to get to Diana and refusing to tell Bonaparte where Nick lived to protect him, till she was forced to tell him after she was being choked to death, but still remained loyal to him.

Her morality began shifting around in Seasons 3 and 4 [[spoiler: when she eventually regained her powers and one of the first things she did was save Meisner's life by killing a Verrat agent with them. The birth of Diana around the same time triggered her MamaBear instincts]], and she constantly wavered around the moral totem until she finally chose a side [[spoiler: when she had her second child]].
