Over at TWOP, they're comparing Bela more to Lilah than Gwen. Wouldn't it rock if she were a Lilah-sort of character?
Maybe Gwen didn't work on Angel because they already had Lilah.
And almost sixty-five percent of that was actual compliment. Is that a personal best?

Because books.
I don't think Gwen was much like Lilah, really. Lilah wanted perks and was in it for herself, but she also wanted the protection of the senior partners, to be teacher's pet. She was a company girl all the way.
Gwen was very much a loner. I think Bela is, too.

Definitely. I see Bela as more of a lone wolf, in it purely for herself.

I think that they're more looking at the quality of evil in Lilah rather than her company man-ness.

I don't know. I'm not getting pure eeeevil from Bela yet. I think she knew that shooting Sam in the shoulder would get the desired result from Dean.
That said, if it didn't? She probably would have taken it further. Still seems less evil-malicious than evil-pragmatic.

But wasn't Lilah evil-pragmatic? She selfishly wanted to get ahead and didn't worry about how she did it.

Hee. From the recap of "Bad Day at Black Rock":
Sam apparently informed Dean of The Openly Demonic Hate Blonde's true Hell-sent nature immediately, rather than keeping that knowledge to himself and nursing it as a deeply held and increasingly bitter secret through the better part of the season. Who are these remarkably attractive and truthful gentlemen, and what have they done with the LYING LIARS WHO LIE we've all come to know and mock over the last two seasons?

You're right, I just think Lilah would have been a little gleeful about doing actual violence herself, taking a little thrill in it.

I think Lilah would have been ironically amused. Also - she'd probably have gotten the rabbit's foot. And THEN she'd have gotten lucky!

Lilah would have hired Bela to retrieve the rabbit's foot for W&H's collection. She would have biilled extravagantly and guess what?
Probably not appeared extremely short next to either of the Winchesters.
