[[caption-width-right:350:''"Let's see how she handles, Guv'nah! Back in the day, I was captain of my fencing team at Oxford, you know."'']]

* CodeNames: Every member of V.I.L.E are only allowed to use their first name until they choose themselves a code name.

* {{Codenames}}: Every member of V.I.L.E are only allowed to use their first name until they choose themselves a code name.

* CodeNames: Every member of V.I.L.E are only allowed to use their first name until they choose themselves a code name.

* AnimalMotifs: Tigers. Her codename is ''Tigress'', one of her weapons include claw-like fingers, her outfit has a stripe-like design that are reminiscent of a tiger, and she wears tiger-like goggles.

* AnimalMotifs: His codename is intended to mean "Goat" in French but truly means "goat cheese" instead, and he's repeatedly compared to one. And like a goat, he can leap high up in the air. Plus, he prefers to do his capers from high up. And he's so cheesy.

* LeParkour: His specialty is leaping.

* TunnelKing: Fitting his mole motif, he usually works underground with robotic claws that let him dig through dirt.

* BadBoss: Incapacitates Shadowsan by putting contact poison on a pair of chopsticks she knew he would use as an ImprovisedWeapon, thus also poisoning the unlucky Mook he uses them on. (Then again, the poison was a temporary paralytic, not lethal, so the Mook is likely fine, just like Shadowsan. Though Shadowsan is affected by the poison in about a minute, while the Mook is shown using the chopsticks for much longer, so it may just be that all of her Mooks have AcquiredPoisonImmunity.)

* LightIsNotGood: Wears a white kimono, but Japanese considers white as the color of death and she is one mean lady. Her headquarters is also a sort of neon-lit back alley bar in Japan.

* BewareTheSillyOnes: Despite their sitcom-esque antics, their scheme to secure a seat on the V.I.L.E Faculty involves [[spoiler: selling stolen nuclear launch codes]].
* BigGuyLittleGuy: Otter Man is the type of guy with common sense who is shorter than Moose Boy who isn't the most brightest guy as he accidentally slips information much to the annoyance to Otter.
* MistakenIdentity: Mistakes Ivy for Carmen because she loudly exclaimed it. [[spoiler: After Ivy stops them, they are convinced that Ivy is the real deal]].

* GuysSmashGirlsShoot: Spinkick is a melee fighter that utilizes his martial arts while Flytrap is a long-range fighter that throws bolas.

* LovesOnlyGold: She loves gold especially in bulk. According to Shadowsan, she has a passion for bullion which has exceeded her cruel nature and as such, she commits a gold heist in Germany.

[[caption-width-right:350:''"If we remove human error from the equation, our success rate would skyrocket, and I would no longer be tasked with wiping memories of VILE from our former students."'']]
V.I.L.E.'s chief scientist who creates all of their weapons and gadgets. Her classes tend to deal with the use of technology and science in heists.

[[folder:Countess Cleo]]
!!Countess Cleo
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Toks Olagundoye
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/5c421d1c5241470337249802.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Vilest art enthusiasts, my deepest gratitude for attending this once-in-a-lifetime event. The art auction will directly follow dinner. Allow me to at least fill your bellies before emptying your bank accounts."'']]
At V.I.L.E. Academy, her classes place a great amount of emphasis on undercover work and the need to be both cultured and calm under pressure as well as distinguishing between real works of art and forgeries.

* AccidentalMisnaming: During "The Egyptian Decryption Caper", she keeps mixing up the names of the Cleaners.
* AlliterativeName: '''C'''ountess '''C'''leo.
* AristocratsAreEvil: As a countess, her schemes skew towards the finer things in life.
* BeautyBrainsAndBrawn: The Beauty of the three female V.I.L.E. faculty members.
* BeautyIsBad: She's pretty, but she's also pretty evil.
* BrainyBrunette: Countess Cleo has black hair and teaches her V.I.L.E. students on how to distinguish real works from forgeries.
* ChildHater: She shows visible disgust upon first meeting Carmen as a baby, perhaps because she values refinement and babies are rather messy.
* EvilBrit: Speaks with an upper-class English accent.
* {{Expy}}: Of the Contessa from the ’’Series/WhereInTheWorldIsCarmenSandiego'' game show.
* TheFashionista:
** She always wears very fancy dresses that make her stand out more than her colleagues.
** She was apparently a former model, although the episode where this is mentioned also mentions she somehow didn't cut it or fell out of the profession (likely due to her criminal activities), calling her a "failed" model.
* GracefulLoser: [[spoiler:The only member of the V.I.L.E. faculty who doesn't resist arrest; she simply waits in a room and lets out a sigh when Julia kicks down the door, knowing what's going to happen.]]
* GreenAndMean: Her main attire is a green, angular dress and she's one of the five leaders of a villainous organization.
* HighClassGloves: Goes with her outfit, and she does look the part.
* IronLady: Rarely loses her cool, and usually wears a stoic expression.
* LovesMyAlterEgo: It's implied Countess Cleo has an attraction to Zack's "Duke of Vermeer" alter ego.
* MeaningfulName: As with all members of V.I.L.E. Countess Cleo is of course named for the Queen of the Nile herself, UsefulNotes/CleopatraVII, famously known (at least in media) for her beauty, class, and hedonistic lifestyle. Countess Cleo is a WickedCultured evil [[TheFashionista Fashionista]] who is also the [[{{Greed}} most materialistic of all the faculty]]. Also hinted at in universe when her Halloween costume in "The Day of the Dead Caper" is an Egyptian mummy.
* NotSoAboveItAll: A master thief who values refinement, culture and carries an air of classiness...but has a SweetTooth and a weakness for halloween candy.
* OlderThanTheyLook: She doesn't look like she's aged a day since Carmen was brought to the Isle of V.I.L.E. almost twenty years ago. Given her specialty and background, she probably has some beauty tricks to help her stay that way. In "The Egyptian Decryption Caper", she claims to Tigress that she isn't a day over 35; Tigress clearly doesn't believe her.
* PetTheDog: When Carmen was knocked out by the Cleaners in the Egyptian Decryption Caper, Jules was hanging on an edge that would have killed her had she fallen. When Carmen comes to, Jules is standing right next to them meaning Cleo (or possibly the cleaners) consciously chose to rescue her. This could overlap with EvenEvilHasStandards. She may be one of the most evil and careless members of V.I.L.E, but it seems she does not want to harm people recklessly.
* ShouldersOfDoom: She could probably skewer someone with the shoulders of her dress.
* StatuesqueStunner: This official height [[https://64.media.tumblr.com/8ebec20eada5e4dd7dc49841881fa1a4/35e889e73653f2ee-88/s1280x1920/6e12c6b01b1b51e4dfa307b4eb4d5fef8a2d7c71.jpg chart]] states that Countess Cleo is 6'0" and she's a beauty.
* WickedCultured: She wears fancy dresses, steals works of art, values proper decorum, and is one of the leaders of VILE.

[[folder:Paper Star]]
!!Paper Star
!!!'''Voiced by:''' Creator/KimikoGlenn
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/paper_star.png]]
[[caption-width-right:350:''"Red is a smart color for you. It will hide the stains."'']]
A classmate of Carmen’s during her "holdover year". Likes to turn paper into various weapons, most often shurikens.

* AxCrazy: Evidenced by her decision to weaponize her origami lessons. She torments Le Chèvre into breaking protocol and telling her where a rendezvous point is by giving him thousands of deadly paper cuts, knowing Carmen will intercept her so she can get another shot at her.
* CharacterTics: Paper Star has a habit of humming a high-pitched tune before striking and while skipping.
* CoolSword: She folds one out of ''aluminum foil'' in "The Haunted Bayou Caper".
* CreepyChildrenSinging: Downplayed. Her humming can come off like this, but she's an AxCrazy PsychopathicWomanchild rather than a literal child.
* CreepyHighPitchedVoice: Kimiko Glenn's naturally high-pitched voice suits Paper Star's CreepyChild-like nature ''extremely'' well.
* CripplingOverspecialization: Her reliance on paper is both convenient and a hindrance, depending on the situation. It lets her craft new weapons almost anywhere thanks to the abundance of paper in the world but it also means she's subject to the flaws of using paper (such as losing its effectiveness in heavy winds). If she kept a backup weapon on her person that didn't rely on paper she'd probably present more than a match for Carmen.
* CuteButPsycho: Oh yes! Paper Star is quite attractive but is an AxCrazy psycho.
* DarkActionGirl: Is quite skilled with her paper weapons and is working for V.I.L.E.
* DeathOfAThousandCuts: Downplayed. Well, not "death" but she's capable of causing lots of pain with very deadly paper cuts. Le Chèvre is lucky that she only cut both of his hands.
* DemotedToExtra: [[spoiler: Her sole appearance in Season 4 is a cameo in the final episode, where Carmen leaves her BoundAndGagged for ACME after foiling her latest heist. Said gag also means she doesn't even get any lines.]]
* TheDragon: Serves as this to Lady Dokuso in "The Daisho Caper".
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Introduced via flashback and the titular heist in "The Chasing Paper Caper" with her notable creepy {{leitmotif}} and equally disturbing SkipOfInnocence while using razor sharp origami during her class with Shadowsan and battle with Carmen, respectively. In the latter, she states Carmen wearing red will help hide the ''stains'' and puts up a considerable fight against her adversary.
* FlechetteStorm: She's ''very'' quick on the draw and can easily pin targets down.
* {{Foil}}:
** She is this to Carmen in as much as Shadowsan views them both as too reckless. [[spoiler: But whereas he truly cares for Carmen and knew she was too moral for VILE, he probably knew that Paper Star was a psychopath and thus truly disliked her.]]
** She’s also this to Tigress, since they are both {{Dark Action Girl}}s who actually fight Carmen directly, but while Tigress has a personal dislike of Carmen stemming from their academy days, she’s not nearly as good as she thinks she is. While Paper Star doesn’t have the personal vendetta and is an actual threat to Carmen. Tigress also has an honorable side, while Paper Star [[TheUnfettered does not.]]
* {{Hypocrite}}: She refuses to give Le Chèvre the magna cartas saying that he would look like operative who would get caught delivering it yet her outfit out of all the operatives is most likely to draw attention to herself among a crowd.
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Likes to turn paper into throwing stars. She makes a sword out of foil in "The Haunted Bayou Caper".
* ImprovisedWeapon: When she runs out of origami paper, any paper on hand will do, such as museum brochures. She can even use foil as shown in "The Haunted Bayou Caper".
* KnightOfCerebus: Viscerally scary and the first V.I.L.E. operative to give Carmen a real challenging fight. She's also overtly sadistic (mincing no words that she will make Carmen ''bleed'') and even assaults her own allies just so she can get her own way.
* {{Leitmotif}}: Has a creepy-like theme which uses pianos and bells.
* LogicalWeakness: Her paper weapons may be absurdly sharp, but they still weigh the same as paper and thus can be blown away in the wind. Water and glue also have been shown to be effective.
* MartialArtsAndCrafts: She weaponizes origami.
* NonUniformUniform: Similar to Tigress, her outfit stands out the most with bright colors and design in contrast to other operatives that generally wear darker colors.
* PaperMaster: She took Shadowsan's origami lessons to heart, and specializes in folding paper stars sharp enough to cut through stone. She can use them as daggers and can fold them fast enough to make a veritable storm of razor origami art.
* PsychopathicWomanchild: Is a sadist who skips around and hums a little tune to herself all while threatening to give someone deadly paper cuts. Le Chèvre even calls her psychotic.
* ShadowArchetype: Paper Star is what Carmen would've been had she fully embraced V.I.L.E.'s ideals.
* SkipOfInnocence: Her usual walk. Though she’s not really innocent.
* SoftSpokenSadist: Speaks in a very soft pleasant voice and, as Le Chèvre can tell you, is certainly sadistic.
* TeethClenchedTeamwork: With Tigress in the episode "The Haunted Bayou Caper", even to the point of being completely uncoordinated in combat against Carmen herself while she's able to defeat them both individually while almost losing to them both in the episode. When they first interact with each other in the episode itself, they snark on each other.
* TheUnfettered: Paper Star has no absolutely scruples in doing anything, no mater how immoral.
* WildCard: Carmen describes her as such. And she's not wrong. Paper Star does whatever she want whenever she wants, even if it goes against V.I.L.E. protocol.

Created by Dr. Saira Bellum to steal for VILE in her effort to eliminate human error.
