Added DiffLines:

* [[spoiler: PetTheDog The only person she hesitates to kill is the divorced salesman. Rather than stalk and hunt him like she does with her other victims. She actually lets him vent his entire sob story, only pulling her gun when he admits to strangling his ex's cat. Even after he turns the gun on himself, she doesn't encourage him one way or the other.]]


Added DiffLines:

* WoundedGazelleGambit: A favored tactic of hers is to pretend to be trapped or surrounded before pulling her gun. Done very cinematically when she lets herself get cornered and surrounded by a gang, only to for her to teach them why you don't bring a knife to a gun fight.
