List of Sin City Characters - Female Antagonists

Female Antagonists

  • Ava Lord, the dame to kill for. An ex-lover of Dwight McCarthy who manipulates men through her good looks and her supposed innocence. An expert liar, she is considered a goddess by Manute and a manipulative bitch by Dwight, who eventually kills her. She represents the classic femme fatale, acting as a foil to Dwight's typically hard-boiled but cool-headed anti-hero persona.
  • Delia aka "Blue Eyes", a trained assassin hired by The Colonel. She uses the powers of seduction to lead unsuspecting men to their deaths and considers her co-worker Mariah to be "sloppy". She usually has sex with her victims before killing them. She herself is killed by Wallace, despite begging for her life.
  • Mariah, a trained assassin in league with Delia, although apparently less skilled. She, too, uses the powers of seduction, but can also fight with a bo (staff). She works for Wallenquist. Her nose was broken by Wallace, and she managed to escape from Liebowitz's assault on the factory. Has a penchant for leopard print clothing.
  • Maxine, a psychopharmacologist who works alongside Delia. She administers a strong hallucinogen into Wallace's system, and later gives him the antidote at gunpoint. Dies for her troubles. She was also involved in Esther's attempted brainwashing.
  • Becky, a young Old Town prostitute who is instrumental in getting Jackie Boy killed by Miho. She also works for the Colonel as a spy, mainly because she didn't want her mother to discover that she was a prostitute, partly because he offered her a considerable sum of money and a new life. Killed during The Big Fat Kill. In the epilogue of the movie adaptation, in a scene that is not part of the comics, it is implied she is killed by the Salesman while leaving the hospital. Portrayed by Alexis Bledel in the film adaptation.

Famous quotes containing the words female and/or antagonists:

    If civilization had been left in female hands we would still be living in grass huts.
    Camille Paglia (b. 1947)

    There is a persuasion in the soul of man that he is here for cause, that he was put down in this place by the Creator to do the work for which he inspires him, that thus he is an overmatch for all antagonists that could combine against him.
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
