Espionage has long been depicted as a glamorous and exciting profession. The same depiction goes for its practitioners. Among this image is the concept of a beautiful and irresistible young woman charming male officers into revealing military secrets with her feminine wiles. To qualify as this trope, the character must be a young attractive woman who uses her "charms" (sexual, emotional manipulation, or both) to work in a capacity for espionage specifically under a guise of innocence. She can be a member of La Résistance or The Empire, be idealistic, motivated by revenge, or Only in It for the Money and personal gain, as long as it's an attractive female spy, it fits this trope. This trope however does not apply to women who are merely secret agents. There must clearly be incidences of fraternizing with the enemy as The Mole. The biological basis for this trope is quite sound: orgasm tends to shut off the cerebral cortex, which is responsible for, among other things, controlling behavior and impulses, and even simple kissing releases oxytocin, which is known to make people more trusting. Lack of self-control + misplaced trust = Loose Lips. However, this trope is rarely Truth in Television. Despite its popularity in media, this trope is not usually Truth in Television for the reason that most political and military leaders know better than to blab state secrets to women they get to know in private company. Much more common is the case where a weak-willed political leader will reveal secrets to an ordinary prostitute who will then reveal it to the press or others, fulfilling the trope retroactively. Finally, one doesn't need to actually get the target to reveal secrets directly; photographs or other embarrassing evidence of the encounter can be used to blackmail the target into giving you what you want (the classic Honey Trap). Spies Are Lecherous may serve as an example of a gender-inversion of this trope. See also Gentleman Thief, Classy Cat-Burglar, Honey Trap, Femme Fatale, The Vamp and Spy Catsuit. Can be averted via The Schlub Pub Seduction Deduction. Can lead to a When Harry Met Svetlana plot. |

Lampshaded in Nikolai Dante. Nikolai's childhood friend, Lauren is his contact at a tavern. When Akita Sagawa's ninjas attack her, she notes that she should have dressed like a smelly old hag, but that vanity got the better of her and she feels that spies should be sexy and glamorous. Nikolai doesn't complain. | |

Lord Darcy: The backstory of "Murder on the Napoli Express" centered around a naval officer whose mistress turned out to be a spy for a foreign power. While nobody could prove that Captain Jourdain had ever leaked classified information to his mistress, the Admiralty decided that he could no longer be trusted with his command and gave him the choice between taking early retirement and being Reassigned to Antarctica. He took the former, and later committed suicide. Then, in a train car filled almost entirely with officers who had served under Jourdain on their way to his funeral, the man who had first reported Jourdain's mistress as a spy turns up murdered... "The Ipswich Phial" features Olga Polovski, Agent 055 of the Serka, and the most dangerous woman in Europe, who uses magic to enhance her seduction of Lord Darcy. Darcy, however, has enough control over his own mind to recognise the condition, and is able to bluff his way round her questions even while being enchanted in both senses of the word. |

The Wrecking Crew: Linka is the Femme Fatale sidekick to the main villain, and naturally does her best to seduce Matt Helm. The film merges this with the Dragon Lady in the form of Yu Rang, played by 1960s sex symbol Nancy Kwan. She tries to seduce the protagonist, but is dealt with in the Designated Girl Fight. Lola Medina was previously this but was replaced with Linka, and defects in the hope of getting revenge. But she's killed in an explosion right after she agrees to help Matt. |

Ry�ji Kaji from Neon Genesis Evangelion exploits, toes, downplays, and exaggerates this trope, as a Homme Fatale Spy: Played with because he chooses to flirt with numerous people to either throw them off as a Handsome Lech or win them over as a charmer but moments with Shinji and Misato have shown that this is mostly a facade. Then it turns out that he isn't on anyone's side and is a double agent for another group, but exaggerated when it's revealed that he is backstabbing several governments. | |

Bridget von Hammersmark from Inglourious Basterds may qualify. She relies more on her fame from being a movie star than her sexual charm, though. In fact, Quentin Tarantino may have been hinting that he did intend for her to be seen as this kind of character; in the same scene, a group of German soldiers (whom she had been sitting with earlier) are playing a kind of celebrity guessing game, and Mata Hari herself is one of the answers. | |

In Dragon Age: Origins, Orlesiannote A Fantasy Counterpart Culture of France Bards fill this role. Party member Leliana used to be one, and also doubles as a Naughty Nun; she has trouble reconciling the two aspects of her being, since she enjoyed her former career as much as her newfound faith. She does this by the time of Dragon Age II, by becoming a spy for the Church. Zevran is a male version. In the 'verse, the genders are equal and homo/bisexuality is seen as a mere fetish rather than a taboo, thus making male Mata Haris almost as effective as the ladies. |

Pathfinder has Calistria, the goddess of lust, revenge, and trickery. Needless to say, a lot of her priests end up serving this role, to the point that many Calistrian temples are equal parts bordello and information trading warehouse. | |

Darling Lili: The titular Lili is a Glamorous Wartime Singer who is also a spy. She differs from the usual type however in that her persona is of a wholesome English Rose, and her Femme Fatale traits don't surface until she's In Love with the Mark and suspects him of cheating on her. She also fails woefully at it, since she ends up needing to be rescued by everyone around her. Crepe Suzette - the sultry burlesque dancer who performs the Bad Girl Song "Your Goodwill Ambassador" - is assumed to be one by Lili, and even the police think he's passing information to her (not realising Lili herself is the spy). She's actually innocent and they just had a minor fling. |

Comes up quite a bit in BattleTech fiction. One detailed example can be seen in the novel Close Quarters, in which a disguised Cassie Suthorn manages to work her way into the confidence of the Duke of Hachiman by playing on his chivalrous impulses and allowing him to "rescue" her from the supposed minions of the "abusive" Chandrasekhar Kurita (actually her regiment's current employer) after a party. They never get physically intimate, the Duke being quite sympathetic to her alleged plight and too much of a gentleman to take advantage, but the general principle still holds. | |

The author of the book on which Red Sparrow was based on was asked if the CIA had set up such a program. They had but had to abandon it as the blackmail aspect didn't work- East Bloc nationals just regarded being seduced by sexy foreigners as one of the perks of the job. They reported it to their superiors, who ordered them to keep the affair going and feed the foreign agent with disinformation. | |

Mata Hari appears in Fate/Grand Order as a low-tier playable Servant. Although she is an Assassin, she has no instant-kill or high-damage gimmicks, but instead is meant to generate criticals for allied Servants (i.e., intel) and prevent enemy actions. Her skill-sealing ability in particular is surprisingly useful against the boss of Time Temple Solomon. | |

The Jennifer Morgue has Ramona Random, the CIA liaison paired with Bob Howard. In their first meeting, she asks if he wants to sleep with her; when he says no, she says good, because "every man who ever slept with me is dead." The fact that she has a succubus stapled to her soul as a control measure might have something to do with that. In fact, Ramona's entirely on the mission to fulfill the role of the Femme Fatale Spy, or the Bad Bond Girl, so that Bob can pierce the geas the main villain has woven that keeps anyone from getting close to him unless they fulfill the tropes of a Bond movie. | |

Charmed: In the episode "Ms. Hellfire," Prue goes undercover as a hitwoman sent to kill the sisters to find out who ordered the hit. Naturally this involves donning some sexy black dresses and going to a party. In "Used Karma," a backfiring spell causes Phoebe to get possessed by none other than Mata Hari herself. So she behaves as if she's this - and makes a deal with a group of demons to assassinate her ex-boyfriend. |

Fiona from Burn Notice has played this role occasionally, although she generally prefers the More Dakka or Stuff Blowing Up approaches to the team's problems. | |

Minagho in Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous was one in the backstory, the beautiful demoness whose manipulative and deceptive charms caused the fall of Drezen. Much less so in the present time of the game, where the major characters know what she's capable of and she operates openly as a demonic agent. | |

The Silerian Trilogy: Elelar is a straight example, and surprisingly effective, gaining state secrets from the head of the Valdani administration in Sileria through seducing him to become his mistress. She's glamorous, a native aristocrat and very beautiful. He's also not the only or first man she's used her wiles on. Pillow talk is enough to be told all kinds of things, often in passing. | |
