The Dog

The women unexpectedly encounter a dog on their first mission, which is a symbol that they never know every single detail and always have to be ready to improvise. The fact that they insist on trying to save the dog is a symbol of their softer nature. Despite being able to kill the men who are their targets, they are not willing to kill the dog.

Project Sphinx

Project Sphinx is the name of the group of women assassins formed and trained by Constance. The name is symbolic because the Greek sphinx had the body and torso of a woman, haunches of a lion, and wings, and was known to be a merciless killer. Constance makes the point that lions kill simply because they are hunters, which is what Billie and the other members of her group do.
