How do I write a credible assassin?

lundi 24 août 2015

One of my MCs is a priestess/assassin who has spent 20 years training extensively in a monastery in the mountains (she's 25).

How do I make her credible as an extremely dangerous, highly skilled killer? She's something of a sociopath, skilled with swords, bows, staffs, knives and other weapons, as well as hand-to-hand combat.

My problem is... how do I show her as being skilled at subterfuge, surveillance, counter-surveillance, concealment, escaping and the like? Could someone recomend resources, tips, techniques?

For example: She's being followed. How can she double back without her pursuer noticing?

Thank you everyone for your attention.
