Guadalupe, the blond rich popular girl

As you look towards the girl who had raised her hand, you manage to see she has fair skin, which is honestly a surprise for you, as well as beautiful blond hair that went way behind her back, with pretty light-brown eyes. Due to all of her physical characteristics, you would believe she was an American exchange student, but in fact, she was a local, who had been born and lived around these parts her entire life. Her name was Guadalupe, and she was this class's richest and most popular student: practically all followed around wherever she went.

She spoke, saying:
"Profesora, yo me ofrezco como su cuidadora. Sin duda el joven vivirá tan bien como un rey bajo mi cuidado."("Professor, I offer myself as his caretaker. No doubt the young man will live as well as a king under my care.")
"Oh, esa es una afirmación muy audaz de vuestra parte, señorita Guadalupe; pero eso es esperable de usted, siempre ha tenido ese carácter despampanante desde que la conozco."("Oh, that's a very bold statement on your part, Miss Guadalupe; but that's to be expected of you, you've always had that stunning character ever since I've known you.")
"Bueno, no soy más que la hija de una de más grandes e importantes familias de esta región entera: es solo natural que me vea la obligación de ser el centro de atención, para el bien de todas mis chicas."("Well, I'm just the daughter of one of the biggest and most important families in this entire region: it's only natural that I feel compelled to be the center of attention, for the good of all my girls.") The young girl replied while swaying her hair in a theatrical fashion, which combined with her words fulfilled the goal of making the majority of the class shower her with applauses and praises. Even as you have just met her, you know that she's no doubt extremely popular, and no doubt proud (perhaps arrogant could be more precise) of her station in life.

She then stood up, swaying her hips in a sensual and practiced fashion, drawing the attention of all the people that may be staring at her natural charm and beauty.
However, as she got closer, you could for a second see something more...sinister on her when you first lock on eyes with one another: for a split second, it was as if a dark, sinister aura surrounded her, like she was a serpent, hiding her true venomous nature beneath a most precious facade. You flinched and gulped, a reaction that provoke the attention of the professor, who asked in a worried tone:
"Are you okay, Denis?"
You immediately shake your head, and return to look at the approaching girl: the sinister aura is gone, which makes you believe it was some sort of weird hallucination you had. With this in mind, you look at the teacher and reply in as calm of a tone as possible:
"N-nothing, it's just that...I think I saw something where there was nothing to see."
"I see...well, Guadalupe surely is a pretty yet proud girl: her family owns quite the successful businesses around these parts. However, don't her flashy actions fool you: she's quite the good girl, and I trust her she will surely take good care of you as she says." says the teacher, a bit unconvinced by your apparently calm words, before continuing in a more happier tone.

You trust her judgment, but a part of you is telling you that to the contrary...this girl is not what she seems, and not in a good way.
Regardless of your feelings, she is the one who volunteered to become your guardian by accepting the conditions; if things go wrong, you can also feel that teacher Gabriela will make sure that you end up safe and sound.

The girl arrives at her teacher's desk, and once there, she leans to take a closer look at you. While playing with her hair, she says:
"Vaya, vaya, vaya, eres un jovencito muy tierno, Denis. Mi nombre es Guadalupe, y me gustaría ser tu cuidadora. ¿Me aceptas?"("My, my, my, you are a very sweet young man, Denis. My name is Guadalupe, and I would like to be your caretaker. Do you accept me?").
Although it takes you a few seconds, you manage to understand what she's asking of you, so you reply while extending a hand:
"Yeah, I do. Nice to meet you, Guadalupe. I hope we can become good friends."
The girl giggles, before extending one of her fingers to make it easier for the "handshake" to occur. At the same time, she says:
"Eso suena grandioso. Me encantaría tenerte como amigo."("That sounds great. I'd love to have you as a friend.").
Once again, there is that small gut feeling that is telling you that this girl is not being honest. However, another part of you is telling the exact opposite, which makes you more confused. You force those two conflicting internal thoughts down, in order not to start a weird situation.

Regardless of what is going through your head, Guadalupe doesn't notice anything wrong with your behavior, which might be a good thing. Once the handshake is over, she opens one of her hands, encouraging you to climb up.
You do it, and once she makes sure that you're safe and sound, she starts to walk towards her desk, ready to start looking after you during this class and maybe thinking of how she's going to carry you to her house.

Yet, even though you might not know it right now, this girl's exact nature will be eventually revealed, and what you will discover about her might or might not be a good thing. This sparks several key questions: will your gut feeling be utterly wrong, and this girl is acting honestly? Or on the contrary, is she an evil individual hidden beneath a facade of kindness? Perhaps is she something more...complicated, neither purely good nor entirely evil?
In simple terms, this is the question regarding Guadalupe: what kind of person is she?
