Her Good Ranking[]
What Makes Her Close to Being Pure Good?[]
- Although at the beginning she studied at the V.I.L.E. Academy and wanted to become a professional thief, at that time she had no idea how harmful criminal activity was and thought it was more or less a game.
- She saved the manager of an archeology tour of Morocco from V.I.L.E. agents when they wanted to kill him as an unwanted witness. After that, she escaped from V.I.L.E. after realizing how violent her members were.
- Although she did not want this at first, she took the orphans Zach and Ivy as her assistants, thereby providing for them and ridding them of debts to the criminal authority.
- She constantly stole various exhibits from the museum and gave them into the hands of the police to prevent V.I.L.E. from getting them.
- A few of her outings saved numerous lives from the sinister plans of V.I.L.E., most notably preventing Bellum from shutting down electricity in Auckland without having to surrender, and ruining her plan to release rice-eating spores on Indonesia, which would've risked mass starvation.
- Although Agent Devineaux constantly harassed her and tried to arrest her, she still risked her own life to rescue him from V.I.L.E. captivity.
- Although at first she was very angry at Shadowsan for not letting her take the thief exam, when she found out that he did it for her own good and that he helped her escape, she stopped being angry at him and began to treat him very kindly.
- After she found out the truth that her father was killed by Tamara Fraser, she did not show vindictiveness towards her, but only wanted to delve into the circumstances of this act.
- She showed care for Gray after defecting, and therefore did not want him to work for V.I.L.E., and wished that after erasing his memory, he would not remember his criminal life.
- After learning that her biological mother was still alive, she set herself the task of finding her at any cost.
- She prevented V.I.L.E. from getting hold of the ancient treasure, and also helped Agent Devineaux save his partner Julia.
- She has shown deep remorse for the fact that, being brainwashed, she committed many violent acts, including the attempted murder of her friends, even though she did not actually do it of her own free will.
- She helped A.C.M.E. arrest almost all V.I.L.E. participants.
- She acts as a vigilante after disbanding her team, capturing Paper Star for ACME.
What Prevents Her From Being Pure Good?[]
- She can be mischievous, because since childhood she loved to steal, prank, and do many things without the knowledge of adults. And even as an adult, she is still stealing without the knowledge of the police. She also liked to mess with the cops. And in the finale of the animated series, we were made to understand that even two years after meeting her mother, she continued to partake in rogue vigilante activity, even though she had the option of doing the same good deeds working for ACME, as Zack and Ivy were shown to. But this is not too significant, since she most often does it between good deeds.
