Carmelita

Carmelita is a fourth-generation cop who works for Interpol. She has been hunting the Cooper Gang for years and has always been a step behind. She is very black and white when it comes to her outlook on criminals and crimes. She believes that anybody who breaks the law (whether it's a jaywalker, litterbug, or a murderer) is a criminal and should be brought to justice.

Carmelita makes appearances in almost every episode of the series. In Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus, she appears in every episode and arrests the first four members of the Fiendish Five. She helped Sly take down Clockwerk. In Band of Thieves, she doesn't appear in "Jailbreak" or "''Menace from the North, eh?" In Honor Among Thieves, she appears in every episode except Dead Men Tell No Tales (though she was mentioned in that episode)''. In Thieves in Time, she appears in every episode except "Turning Japanese".

In Band of Thieves, she goes undercover at Rajan's ball in India. She dances with Sly Cooper, not knowing it was him until she found a rose in her hair. She later gets into some hot waters with Interpol when Neyla frames her for helping the Cooper Gang. She gets arrested by the Contessa and transported to her rehabilitation center in Prague. There, the Contessa tries to make Carmelita her "friend" by hypnotizing her with the Clockwerk Eyes. Sly and his gang frees Carmelita and she goes after her. After the Contessa is defeated by Sly, he and the gang help her escape from the cops during the Contessa's arrest. Carmelita also follows the Cooper Gang to Canada. She catches Murray out in the wilderness and locks him up in a cage to prove to Interpol she was set up. At the end of the game, after taking down Clock-la, Sly clears her name by turning himself him in exchange for letting his friends go. With Sly in custody (not for long), she receives a well-deserved promotion from her old police agent. The two ride in her chopper on the way to Police HQ and start talking about all their previous adventures. Carmelita soon realizes the ride was taking too long and goes to check with pilot, who isn't there. She finds out the chopper has been rigged to fly in circles around town. She then sees Sly paragliding from the chopper. She shouts at him "I'll find you, Cooper!"

In Honor Among Thieves, she appears several times during the gang's adventure. She arrests Octavio in "An Opera of Fear" after destroying Venice with his tar scheme. In "Rumble Down Under", she shows up during the gang's heist. She ends up with the Mask of Dark Earth on her face, making her grow to gigantic size. The gang lures her out to Ayers Rock to outrun her, but it doesn't work due to her size. Sly climbs up her to get the mask off. She then shrinks and passes out afterwards. Her troops hover over the mask and blows it up. The gang watches over Carmelita over the night. In "Flight of Fancy", she battles it out with Muggshot and bring him in, getting him disqualified from the ACES Competition. In "A Cold Alliance", she is used to replace Jing King as Tsao's wife. During the wedding, she reveals herself to Tsao and zaps him and she (thinking it was Sly) arrests him, but is shocked and a little disappointed that it's not Sly, but she takes Tsao in anyway after all the trouble he caused. She did not appear in Blood Bath Bay in the following episode, but at the end of that level, Sly mentions this and sends her a postcard, stating that he'd hate to have her left out. In the final level, Carmelita rescues Sly from Dr.M's wild, genetic monster. She also takes down Dr.M after he hurts Sly and goes to check on Sly. He says he can't remember her or anything. She calls him "Constable Cooper". They both leave as the ceiling in the vault comes crashing down. In the ending cutscene, the two are seen dating in a tall building in France while Bentley spies on them.

Carmelita finds out in ​Thieves in Time that Sly faked his amnesia and holds a serious grudge against him for most of the game. However, she still ends up helping the gang when she accidentally gets involved in the time travel. She become friends with Bentley, Murray, and some of Sly's ancestors. At the end of the game, Sly disappears after defeating Le Paradox. Carmelita goes on a search to find him.
