Mandy, 24

Mandy (Mia Kirshner)

A terrorist and professional assassin, Mandy was notable for being one of the few longtime antagonists of the series to remain alive during the entire run. Though there is a significant amount of time in between her appearances, her actions within the show are usually substantial and traumatic to the main characters.

Her lesbian kiss in Season 1 was used as a “sign of impending doom” and Mandy herself was frequently referred to in the press and by fans as a “lesbian assassin” or as “Naked Mandy” along with the qualifiers “sexy, slutty, diabolical.”

In Season 1, she and her girlfriend Bridgit take a contract so they can retire off into the sunset together. Bridgit tries to play hardball with their employer to negotiate a bigger cut, and is killed for it.

All three of Mandy’s established romantic interests ended up dead, with both male love interests killed by Mandy’s own hand.
