History Main / FilleFatale

* Leelee Sobieski's character in ''EyesWideShut''.

Sometimes a character may be misinterpreted as a FilleFatale due to difference in Age of Consent laws from one country to another. It's widely accepted that adult/child relations are frowned on (unless they are close in age - one has just turned 18, one is 17 and they've been together for quite a while already). However while Age of Consent is 18 in the USA, it is for example only 16 in the UK. As such, for example, the scantily-dressed StTrinians sixth-form girls, who often act like porn models in training, are entirely legal in Britain, not Fille Fatales.

* This is [[GreatExpectations Mrs. Havisham's]] goal for Stella.

Note that in real life, children who exhibit sexualized behavior have often been the victims of sexual abuse. This is rarely addressed in fiction. In [[MoralGuardians some people's opinion]], overexposure to adult content like movies, porn, [[TheInternetIsForPorn the internet]] and music can cause the same kind of prematurely sexualized behaviour, though how true this is is debated.

*** Because that makes it ''[[SarcasmMode so much better.]]''

** [[spoiler:However, not late enough to see that this is one of those "rare examples" mentioned above, where Rin's behavior ''does'' seem to stem from (latent) sexual abuse from her cousin/guardian. Or she could just be insane. The series isn't completely clear on it.]]
** [[spoiler:Uh, what? I've read the entire series and seen no evidence what-so-ever that Rin was sexually abused. There is WifeHusbandry but nothing sexual. In fact, I got the impression that her Fille Fatale tendencies are simply a cry for attention combined with a PrecociousCrush. This isn't meant as a JustifyingEdit, I just want to know what made you think she was abused.]]
** He did leave hickeys on her neck and he does occasionally check her out, if only to see her "progress". It could also count as psychological abuse, since he's basically guilting her into accepting his feelings.

* OlderThanTheyThink: This archetype appeared in 1975 with Meg, the tomboyish heroine of the MagicalGirl series ''Majokko Meg-chan''. The girl is pretty aware of her good looks, is coquettish and outspoken (unlike the more mellow heroines of the time) and the OP of the series has her singing about using her beauty to woo the guys and get what she wants from them.

* Lori Maddox became Jimmy Paige's girlfriend when she was 14 and claimed she lost her virginity to [[TenchiSolution David Bowie AND his wife Angela]] when she was 13.

* Nao from ''MaiHiMe''. She pretends to engage in EnjoKosai, then rolls the marks with her CHILD.

* Hayley Stark of {{HardCandy}} appears to be an example at first -- that is, [[spoiler: until she throws it all aside, ties up the man she was previously seducing, accuses him of being a pedophile, pretends to castrate him, and generally just {{Mind Screw}}s him until he commits suicide]].

* Leelee Sobieski's character in ''EyesWideShut''
* ''{{Leon}}''

While some will [[KidAnova focus solely on their peers]], others want actual grown men and will proceed to seduce one. She may well initiate a HotForStudent plot. This of course has much bigger implications for their victim -- who is very liable to a sacking at best (if they're a teacher), with a statutory rape charge being more common.
