* ''Fanfic/ANewWorldANewWay'' gives us the [[MasterOfDisguise Zoroark]]-themed Phantom Thief Fox, whose capers continue even after being relocated to Equestria, even coming with a police officer dedicated to catching her. Both are {{Legacy Character}}s to their respective roles. The kicker? [[spoiler:The current Fox's civilian identity is the current officer's ChildhoodFriend.]] There is even [[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/227425 a spin-off story]] featuring them.

** The [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfHeroesTrailsThroughDaybreak Calvard]] arc would introduce a second that would also serve as a main cast member: Grimcats, an almost literal "cat burglar" who reportedly steals from and punishes corrupt politicians and people who run illegal operations, with few aware of her true identity as top movie actress Judith Ranster. Unfortunately, an encounter with the Arkride Solutions Office lead her to make a string of hilarious blunders that serve to highlight her as the resident ButtMonkey.
