Well here's my theory in point form:

1. The song describes her as a beast from shadows, perhaps not a reference to her appearance but her past, a troubled individual with dark origins.

2. Her weapon seems to be a whip of some kind. Traditionally whips have not been used as a weapon persay but more like a tool to control people through negative reinforcement, hence perhaps it's a mind control tool of somekind.

3. Her outfit resembles a lion's tamer outfit from a circus or a stage magicians outfit so she might be a entertainer of somekind.
