Added DiffLines:

* FemalesAreMoreInnocent: {{Invoked}}, both in the book's title and the story itself. Joss is well aware that most people don't expect a ''hitwoman'', and it's a large part of why she's been very successful as one, enhancing it often by her [[HoneyTrap seducing her target]] or [[WoundedGazelleGambit somehow acting wounded]].
