I don't know what the technical term is for the kind of psycologically damaged person Adalind is, but it is evident that she is

Abandonment issues: Her dad left when she was 4, serious daddy issues, why she wanted Sean's "attentions" like her mom did

Speaking of mommy Schade: "Mommy Dearest anyone"? It's one thing to strive to be better than your parents and have them push you. It's something else to know that they barely tolerate you and you're there as "tool" to advance your mom's agenda

Raised where "Might Makes The Rules": Hey, live in that household with the above issues, you're bound to be a wee bit warped

Now I don't think Adalind is a psycho nor sociopath, but she had to be one to survive in the lifestyle of a Hexenbeist kid and then a high powered vulture, er, lawyer, you need to develop a "kill or be killed" attitude

What really matters is how Adalind responds to being helpless and how she connects with those who are around her. Can a leopard change its spots? Not if the spots are added to protect oneself and it was never a leopard to begin with

Nick is a "Good Guy", something Adalind never has known before
