Fanon and Common Tropes

Paulina does not have a last name canonically. However, she has a widely accepted fanon last name of Sanchez. Her wrangled tag on Archive of Our Own is even Paulina Sanchez, and its so accepted that many believe it is canon. On the popular Danny Phantom Wiki on FANDOM, Paulina's page is protected from editing so fans do not add it as factual to her page. It's unknown where Sanchez came from, and its been in use by the fandom since at least 2007.

BAMF Paulina Sanchez and lesbian Paulina Sanchez are also commonly tagged in fanfic. In fanart, Paulina is often drawn with different makeup and outfits than she's shown to have canonically.
