Carmelita Fox

Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox is a female fox. She is a member of INTERPOL and is almost always in constant pursuit of the Cooper Gang, and therefore Sly Cooper, who views her as a love interest.

Carmelita is a beautiful, orange-furred vixen with a slender yet athletic built, and with almost the entirety of her face, along with her stomach, are colored in apricot-orange. She has black-tipped pointy ears with the insides being colored in apricot-orange, and the left having a small golden hoop-earring, brown eyes, a small black nose, a small beauty mark under her left eye, and a signature large bushy tail with an apricot underside. Her most distinctive feature is her long, wavy dark blue hair with equally wavy bangs, kept in a braid with a gold-colored hair tie.

Her signature outfit features a thick, dark blue choker with her INTERPOL badge hanging as the pendant. She wears a slightly cropped, dark yellow leather jacket over her signature zip-up, dark blue bra-like tube top. She also wears a set of golden-yellow gloves, a reddish-brown belt around her waist, tight-fitting dark blue leggings and dark brown/black combat boots with varied designs (commonly dark yellow-brown calf-high in the cutscenes and artworks of the second and third games).

Carmelita's outlook on crime is very black and white, firmly believing that any lawbreaker must be brought to justice, regardless of how minor or major the infraction was. Pursuing this vision with her shock pistol, Carmelita was extremely rigid in her view and pursued all criminals with equal determination, from murderers to jaywalkers to thieves, extending to Sly and his gang. Both she and Sly have repressed romantic feelings for each other and their relationship was portrayed rather ambiguously throughout the series until the conclusion of Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves.

Despite believing any criminal should be brought to justice, Carmelita acts justly to her captives, as evident when she offers Murray a bag of jelly beans during his captivity and ensures that he is comfortable in his makeshift cell. Carmelita is very devoted to her line of work, and must keep her emotions under control in order to keep her temper in check. Carmelita has been seen to enjoy regular day-to-day activities when off duty, such as viewing art galleries, listening to music and buying boots.

Even Sly remarked that she isn't as cruel as the Contessa. This is also shown during her confrontation with Dr. M by negotiating with after he releases Sly go, demonstrating she can reasoned with to a degree. The Contessa also stated, as from reading her psychological, that Carmelita is honest. Determined as she is, Carmelita is also relentless, as she is constantly in pursuit of Sly and his gang to arrest to the point tracking them far and wide to the ends of the Earth. In her pursuit, Carmelita gets stumbled in almost every criminal organization whenever she is after Sly or not.

Although Carmelita obsesses over trying to arrest Sly, she does harbor some respect for him and more, though she can't really admit it to herself. She even once mentioned that it was a shame that Sly was working on the other side of the law.

Carmelita also developed feeling towards the Sly's ancestors. She called "Tennessee Kid" Cooper as a handsome and charming gentleman for saving her. She finds Sir Galleth Cooper to be charming and goodhearted despite of his headstrong goof. She gotten attentions from Salim al-Kupar even in her belly dance.

Due to her rigid attitude, she was left heartbroken and regretful when she realize Sly has been caring for her all along after his disappearance. Finding the picture during her date with Sly, she realizes that she didn't give him a chance to explain himself, further lamenting herself.

She is known as fair, gracious, choleric, heroic, hotheaded, passionate, fiery, committed, steadfast, short-tempered, cold, aggressive, confrontational, gorgeous, demure, feisty, persistent, determined, honest, very devoted, relentless, fierce, compassionate, alluring, serious, lovely, and kind-hearted.

Carmelita is shown to be an excellent combatant and very capable in a fight. She has impressive acrobatic skills, capable of matching Sly in agility and speed. She also possesses great balance, given that in her chases, she always manages to prevent herself from plummeting down near fatal landings (such as near the edges of high buildings or mountain peaks). Carmelita can also leap higher altitudes than Sly to compensate her inability to climb/spire jump/rail walk and is incredibly adept at using her shock pistol. She seems to have a great deal of lower body strength, given her jumping abilities and the fact that she's shown delivering kicks that can send even the burliest of flashlight guards flying. She also has a strong force of will, being able to fight off the Contessa's hypnosis (which was also being powered by the Clockwerk Eyes, increasing the Contessa's abilities). Sly himself complimented her skills when Bentley expressed concern for her ability to go one-on-one with Muggshot, who she was able to damage (albeit only slightly) with a physical attack, something even Murray was unable to do.

In Thieves in Time, she is also able to change her ammo type from default to Auto Fire, Charge Shot, Stun Ammo and Triple Fire. Also, she is surprisingly good at belly dancing, which she reluctantly used to distract the guards while Sly, Salim and the gang opened the vault.
