Paulina, however, only feels lust and entitlement toward Danny because of his powers and popularity, and her behavior grows steadily worse as her obsession reaches new levels that turn her into a villain.

** Paulina is willing to team up with Vlad and put all of time at risk just for the chance to get her beauty back and make Danny her's.
