Vixen (stock character)

Dita Von Teese, a prominent burlesque performer

A vixen is usually a stereotype of women as mysterious, racy, salacious, and seductive. It is used as an archetype and stock character in literature and art.[1][2] Vixens are commonly identified with dark hair and makeup, their sex appeal, and seductress personas.
