Get the Fatalism mug.A beautiful and seductive woman with a very charming and usually unique or mysterious personality. Men become very interested in her and become distracted and fascinated by her charming, attractive qualities. She then leads men into negative or unpleasant situations, where the victim highly regrets ever getting involved with her. Sometimes the situation will turn dangerous or even deadly, depending on the level of manipulation she has over the victim. Most of the time she will gain complete control over the victim by seducing him or engaging in some sort sexual relations with him.
She is such a femme fatale. She uses her seductive attitude and beauty to manipulate men. She seems so sweet on the outside, but she is very rotten and twisted on the inside.
