Typical murderers/villains in Thrillers

Some typical traits or conventions of a killer in the thriller genre include:
-Older white male
-Very clever but not very strong
-Bit psychotic making them scary and creepy
-Pre-meditate murder with every, detail planning, extremely carefully - taking everything into account
-Identity not fully exposed (shadows, enigma, sometimes revealed near the end)
-Kill for pleasure, revenge or other motives
-Cut off from society or isolated




We would like to break these stereotypes by having a murderer who is:
-Young female student
-Spur of the moment murder, without thinking about consequences or what to do with the body
-Quite a normal everyday member of society (friends, flat, job)
-Introduced like any other character, with information about lifestyle (not shadows or hidden faces)
