You have to remember Vanessa had a dark ugly supernatural side she constantly tried keeping a lid on. As did all the main characters. But unlike some of the other characters she confessed her sins and tried to make atonements.

Hooking up with Dracula though, I'll give you that. That was very un-vanessa-like.

Vanessa was tired of fighting it and just gave in. When Ethan tried to save her she even said "they will never stop".

That was a very lame resolution for her to be honest. And also the whole "Wolf of God" or w/e turned out to be useless, since Ethan didn't use it against Dracula in any meaningful way.

Not to mention that the only reason why Dracula tortured and turned Mina in the first place was because Mina was Vanessa's best friend and he tried to get to Vanessa through her. So being Vanessa's friend is horrible from all points of view.😜

Wasn't Vanessa already influenced by the Devil at that point? And I think that Dracula was already affecting and isolating her at that point. She had been beaten down and felt that no one cared about her so she gave in.
