huntress
She pursues prey
A huntress is a female hunter—a woman who pursues and kills wild game.
The word appears more often in mythology and fantasy than in contemporary usage, where hunter serves for any gender: Artemis was the huntress of Greek myth.
Huntress can also describe a woman who pursues anything with predatory intensity.
