That’s a tough one Chief.
Minx is my cat.
Vixen is a reindeer.
I don’t really think that GBS would really appreciate either of those.

Let’s see, Chief - my Webster’s defines a ‘vixen’ as “1. a female fox 2: a shrewish ill-tempered woman.” The definition of ‘minx’ is “1: a pert girl 2: a wanton woman.”
I don’t know GBS, but I think anyone with half a brain and a sense of self-preservation would vote ‘MINX’.
Of course, if you like to live dangerously you could argue the ‘female fox’ aspect of ‘VIXEN’.

“super fox-vixen” as my high school Biology/botany teacher used to say.
