About the character of Ms. Perkins, Palicki said, "Ms. Perkins is what you think the quintessential assassin would be . She's cold, heartless, conniving, badass and I think that she has fun with what she does . She enjoys it . I think that she'd clearly do it for a dollar . Ultimately in the film she's doing it for four million, so it's a little different ." Originally the character of Perkins was envisioned as a man, but the decision was reversed during a brainstorming session and the desire to create "an authentic female action character ." Leitch stated, "You believe this woman could come in and give John Wick a run for his money," so Stahelski, Leitch and Iwanyk changed it and offered the role to Palicki . Palicki spoke most highly of working with Reeves and the inclusion of stunt work on her part, to which she stated, "Chad wanted to make sure I would be willing to do my own stuff in the huge fight sequence that I have with Keanu--and I was all game ." Palicki spent months of training learning Judo and Jujutsu . After the film's release Palicki revealed background information, "I also think we talked about a backstory . It's likely (Ms. Perkins and Wick) had a history as well, before his marriage . She may have a personal vendetta as well as the money . I think there's an enjoyment on multiple levels ." On what she hopes for with regard to the fan response, "It's a lot of fun . They're going to want to see what happens next . Most importantly, I hope they're rooting for John Wick the way that I did when I read the script ." </Dd> </Dl> <Dd> A distinguished female contract killer in the underworld of assassins, and a former acquaintance of John .
