My character Laila is a sort of allrounder, jack of all trades and will do anything, from being your lawyer or temporary girlfriend to going undercover in the government, assassinating someone or even dropping a bomb in New York and she does not care even if the person hiring her is the mafia boss or the American government or even just a roadside beggar as long as she gets her pay. What should I call her?

Example sentence:

Laila makes her living as a ______.

  • You want something that describes her personality or her skill set or her occupation? – KillingTime May 5 '19 at 7:45
  • I've edited your question to include a sentence showing how your word would be used, as your question is at risk of closure without it - see the tag info for single-word-requests. If my sentence doesn't capture the sense you're after – for instance, you're focussing on personality or skill set (as @KillingTime has already asked you to clarify) – please edit it. For further guidance, see How to Ask and take the EL&U Tour :-) – Chappo Hasn't Forgotten Monica May 6 '19 at 2:47
