Carmelita Fox

Inspector Carmelita Montoya Fox is the love interest of Sly Cooper as well as a major character from the Sly Cooper franchise. She was a member of Interpol who constantly chased after Sly Cooper and his gang. Sometime after, Carmelita temporarily joined the Cooper Gang and helped Sly save the Cooper Clan through time. She's currently investigating Sly's whereabouts but soon discovered a photograph of her and Sly.
Though excellent in capturing everyday criminals, she had never been successful in capturing Sly or his gang. Carmelita was obsessive in her goal to capture Sly, which often led to her venting out her frustrations on her unfortunate criminal captives.
She is voiced by Roxana Ortega (who also voiced Frida Puga Casagrande) in Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, Alesia Glidewell in Sly 2: Band of Thieves, Ruth Livier in Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, and Grey DeLisle in Sly Cooper: Thieves in Time and PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale.
In Japanese dub from the game, she is voiced by Mie Sonozaki.
==Characteristics==
===Physical Appearance===
Carmelita is a beautiful fox with brownish-orange fur, a mole under her left eye, and waist-length blue hair tied in a braid at shoulder level. Her outfit includes a dark blue midriff-baring corset-type top that zips in the front, form-fitting dark blue pants, and a choker which her Interpol badge hangs from. She wears a light brown leather jacket and yellow gloves. She wears a lone earring on her left ear. On her feet are long brown boots.
===Personality===
Carmelita has a strong sense of justice. However, as Neyla points out, she has black-and-white morality complex that causes her to chase after the noble-minded criminals. This is evident during his encounter with Sly at the Kunlun Mountains in China, believing he was involved in Panda King's crimes and outright stated that all criminals are the same, and she even refuse to listen to Sly when the Panda King is manufacturing explosives. When he was captured by Clockwerk, Carmelita assumed that Sly was involved in. Dr. M even consider her transparent and narrow-minded when he claim he was killing Sly in self-defense after Carmelita declare he was going to murder Sly, which was true on Carmelita's part. 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.
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. 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. Carmelita is very devoted to her line of work, and must keep her emotions under control in order to keep her temper in check. 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.
Carmelita has also developed feelings for the Cooper Ancestors. She finds Tennessee Kid Cooper as a handsome and charming gentleman after he saved her life. 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.
===Abilities===
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.
In Thieves in Time, she can also change the type of ammo: default pistol, auto fire, charge fire, stunning ammo and triple fire. In addition, she is amazingly good at belly dancing, which she used reluctantly to distract the guards while Sly, Salim and the gang opened the vault.
