Praying Mantis

Science taught us that the female praying mantis bites the head off their male mate after having sex. They say it’s for helping with nutrients during mating season for laying eggs. The female praying mantis is one creature you don’t want to mess with, especially during mating season. Louisa “Lou” Marshall learned at an early age that her body is both a gift and a curse. Having been groomed to exploit the weakness of men and women. She uses her body and a certain skill-set to fix the wrongs of those who think they deserve some justice of their own. Because of this, she has always followed a strict set of rules and nothing or no one can make her falter from it.

Rule 1: Love is for suckers.
Rule 2: Use your body to your advantage.
Rule 3: Don’t fall for a mark.
