Femme Fatale

A deadly woman or man whose outward beauty usually masks a self-centered approach to life; one who is ever vigilant. By constructing an alluring and glamorous persona the Femme Fatale is akin to a spider. She draws others to her web in order to possess what she desires or destroy her target. Brave and cunning, the Femme Fatale is not shy of getting her hands dirty and is a capable foe. Neither is she foolhardy, and she will wait until her web is constructed before dealing out a sudden and well-timed assault (be it mental or physical). A classic pulp archetype, the Femme Fatale could as easily be termed homme fatale if so desired.
