* TheHedonist: Every time she comes home from a successful hit she is seen always treating herself either to designer clothing, expensive sweets or anything else fancy.
* KnownOnlyByTheirNickname: Villanelle is actually a codename, revealed in one episode to be a brand of perfume. [[spoiler: It is also revealed in the same episode that her real name is Aksana]].
** Amusingly, Eve decides to name her 'Villanelle' all on her own after she received a bottle of perfume from her.
* PsychoLesbian: She's actually bisexual, but she appears to have a stronger preference toward women. Also, she's a total psychopath complete with SlasherSmile.
* PsychoticSmirk: Villanelle delivers a chilly one to Bill, [[spoiler: right before she turns the tables on him and kills him]].
* TheSociopath: Complete lack of empathy? Check. Highly immature at times, and often does what she does ForTheEvulz as much as she does for the money? Check. Able to convince an ex-girlfriend to turn on her partner, promise her a life she deserved and then crush her under her car, all in the same scene? Check.
* StalkerWithACrush: Villanelle develops as one for Eve, going as far as stealing her clothes, spying on her and asking a female sexual partner with similar thick wavy hair if she can call her 'Eve.'
* WickedCultured: Stylish clothes, a fancy (if messy) Parisian apartment, an appetite for designer products and nice food, taste for classical music and able to speak several languages? Villanelle sure qualifies.

[[folder: Eve Polastri]]
!!''Eve Polastri''
!!! '''Played By:''' Sandra Oh

The series' deuteragonist. Eve is a bored, desk-bound MI5 security services officer with a fascination with female assassins.

* {{Deuteragonist}}: She shares this distinction with Villanelle.
