Paula Santilli (Love Is All You Need?)

Paula Santilli (Ava Allan) is a minor villainess from the 2016 film Love Is All You Need?, based off the short film of the same name. She was the daughter of Pete and Allen Santilli and the older sister of Ian Santilli, living in a society where homosexuality was the cultural norm and heterosexuality was widely reviled. She was a prominent bully of younger classmate Emily Curtis, who was secretly attracted to Ian. She also revealed herself to agree with the heterophobic message being spread by local reverend Rachel Duncan, despite Allen's attempts to teach her tolerance.
After Emily showed an interest in her drama teacher Mr. Thompson's upcoming production of Romeo & Juliet, Paula accused Emily of being heterosexual and her bullying became more vicious. This included harassing Emily in the hallway, dunking her head in a toilet as her minions cheered her on, and sending her insulting text messages warning her to stay away from Ian.
Late one night, after sabotaging Emily's bike, the evil Paula and her equally villainous friends cornered Emily as she left the building, taunting her before chasing after her. They eventually catch Emily and begin attacking her, viciously beating her up. Before ending their assault, Paula wrote "Hetero" on Emily's forehead and coldly taunted her to kill herself. When Paula returned home and her fathers questioned the mark on her forehead from where Emily kicked her in self-defense, Paula boldly admitted to attacking Emily, believing her actions to be right. Shocked by their daughter's actions, Allen called the Curtis household to make Paula apologize to Emily, but at that moment, Emily was attempting to kill herself by slitting her wrists in the bathtub. Emily survived the attempt, and it is not revealed what (if any) punishments Paula faced.
