or a whole brotherhood / sisterhood of them.
I know this video game
link only through Youtube
YouTube link but the little I saw has gaming potential -even for the 18th C.
- The mission: to lift the curse changing periodically a lovely young woman into a murdering monster. Not an uncommon curse YouTube link -think also, without the murderous aspect, Ladyhawke en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ladyhawke and the old French tale YouTube link of the White Doe YouTube link If you don't want magic, for a 'Sci-Fi explanation' the 'curse' can be the long lasting effect of a Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde-type drug, triggering cataclysmic crises by night time.
- The character: in a Lacepulp alternate 18th C. where monsters exist -even if parents "My mommy always said there were no monsters – no real ones – but there are" and governments deny knowledge- a (secret) society of professional, alchemically-enhanced YouTube link monster hunters is almost compulsory.
Figurines-wise, a swashbuckler in 18th C. clothes: a 'leader' from a pirates range, a highwayman or more 'topically' a 'Gevaudan' type such as Fenryll chasseur de sorciere
link (also Brigade Games?)
Now in 'alternate' 18th C. not a few women take a 'manly' life and profession, so what about a
sorceliere? The
A Touch of Evil game
link contains suitable (if not great) minis of both sexes
available separately but there is a rich choice of female fighting minis that could be simply converted -give them a basket-hilted broadsword and a crossbow slung across the back and a quiver of bolts (supposedly some silver-tipped, some of naked wood), accessories widely available in 'medieval' ranges -Freebooter & others also have pistols, to be hanging from the waistbelt or / and strapped to the thighs, blunderbusses, muskets

If in suitable size, the 'NOT Anna Valerious"
'Lahmiane'
link looks like a natural choice.
