Ruthless, cunning, and psychopathic. Villanelle is a tempestuous spirit, someone who loves committing murder as much as she loves dressing up in fancy pink ballgowns. She has no sense of guilt, morality, or empathy for her victims, although she isn’t necessarily emotionless. In fact, she tends to take pride and pleasure in pulling off a great murder, and she can be petulant and immature when people try to put her in her place. Villanelle sometimes seems more like a child than an adult.
