Walking, talking, purring class. She doesn't steal; she liberates. She doesn't lie; she fibs. She steals from the rich and keeps it all for herself, but at least she is easy on the eyes. The hero is often at a loss whether to stop her or throw her down on the floor and make out with her. This dilemma is usually short, as she uses the distraction to escape/knock him out. Bonus points if she has a cat theme, is named "Catherine" or "Felicia," or makes bad feline puns. She often may wear a Spy Catsuit. Compare Phantom Thief. If the hero is very, very (un?)lucky, may result in Dating Catwoman.
