## What Makes Her Near to be a Complete Monster?

* Corrupted Thales and along with him, tricked Nicole, who was sick with cancer, only to discover the truth on her wedding day and pass away, and Leila does not feel the slightest remorse for causing this and is more concerned with getting it all that was hers, almost as if he had purposely killed her. Thaler, for other hand, loved Nicolle genuinely, and redeemed himself in the end, against Leila.
* Although she is in love with Thales, it is not about genuine love, just pervesion, obsession, carnal passion, or even a way to get rich. Thales made it clear that what existed between him and Leila was nothing but sex and carnality. The love she feels for him is a vulgar, not genuine love. It is questionable whether a person like Leila is capable of genuinely loving someone, although she can love in a carnal and sexual way. Furthermore, would she stay with Thales and love him even if he got poor for the rest of her life? Certainly her hatred of poverty and love of money would speak louder, this based in the personality that she showed throughout her plot. A love is only genuine when the other is willing to do something for the good of that person who claims to love without thinking about himself.
* She mistreats her autistic sister Linda and totally disparages the family, just because they are not rich.
* After the housekeeper's daughter, Natasha, emerged as Nicole's furtuna's new heiress, Leila sets up a plan that would culminate in her death.
* In order to get revenge on lawyer Rafael, for helping Natasha revoke Nicole's will, Leila takes her mother, Neide, who did not see Rafael's relationship with Linda as "appropriate", to catch a kiss between the two and, together with his mother, he managed to put him in jail for seducing the incapacitated. The "concern" that she shows for her sister that she was "seduced by an incapacitated" was just an excuse to get back at Rafael, since clearly she never cared about Linda. She confesses this to her mother shortly after the two of them denounce Rafael, saying that she hates Linda, that the internship if she had money and that she only went to denounce Rafael to get revenge on him.
* Even though she inherited some of Nicole’s jewelry, she wasn’t content, she invades Nicole's house, attacks Natasha by hitting her on the head with a baton and sets the mansion on fire for kill her.

### What prevents her to be in the category?

* She fails the heinous standard on *Amor à Vida,* with villains who are as henious as her or more than her, like Felix, Alejandra, Aline or Glauce.
