Game and Story Use

• A classical use of such a character in a story would be if the protagonists discover that one of their friends or acquaintances might be about to marry a Black Widow - and now they must find enough evidence to convince the love-besotted man of his mistake.
  • In the meantime, if the Black Widow becomes aware of their suspicions, she might try to kill them as well - and maybe her abilities aren't just limited to killing people when they are at their most vulnerable and don't expect it…
• Someone who looks like a Black Widow might not be.
  • There might be a jealous stalker attacking anyone she gets close to.
  • She might be cursed or have attracted some kind of supernatural attention.
  • She might be framed by a serial killer.
