==Behavior==
They need to feed only every few months or years.<ref name=":5" /><ref name=":6" /> When not actively preparing a victim to devour, they tend to lurk around bars and similar hookup spots, always a figure glimpsed in the corner of your eye.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":3">They will lurk in the periphery as a person glimpsed but rarely engaged, and use their innate mastery and relationship with sympathetic connections to stay out of reach.  If seen every week or so in a club, they will disappear into the crowd if an intrigued fellow tries to approach them, and if that fellow nudges a friend and tries to ask who the woman is, will be out of sight by the time the friend can turn around to look and see.  They may engage in idle, low-key activity, potentially building relationships with practitioners as finders or information brokers, or sadistically tormenting people- typically those with an intense sexual attraction to women.<br><br>As hunger grows, the Hangmaiden will shift modes, starting to lay the groundwork for a future meal. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/13PQED3MXbPT1aM_zDpBAcNU3tyDME18tgieUlyzlW4M Bestiary: Hangmaidens]</ref>

Unless newly-formed, they are generally very experienced manipulators. They tend to target significant but isolated people.<ref name=":4">As the web draws tighter, the victim will be given omens, in part because the motifs will eventually be so persistent and enveloping that stumbling onto the omens will be impossible to ignore. [...] Each omen or device employed provides a chance the victim has to recognize & escape the snare.  By the reverse side of the coin, each omen or portent that is ignored helps the Hangmaiden guarantee its kill.  Most Hangmaidens that have been around for multiple feedings are skilled manipulators.  The targets will be important ones, in terms of the general fabric of things, but will be isolated and tempted.  Often an outside party or friend recognizing what is going on, seeing the motifs or omens for themselves, and acting decisively will be the only chance a victim has. - [https://docs.google.com/document/d/13PQED3MXbPT1aM_zDpBAcNU3tyDME18tgieUlyzlW4M Bestiary: Hangmaidens]</ref>
