[[header:'''Moneypenny''']]
Moneypenny is M's secretary at the [=MI6=] headquarters. She is generally portrayed as flirting with James Bond, while having a not-so-secret crush on him that [[UnresolvedSexualTension never gets resolved]].
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:The Character in General]]
* AdaptedOut: Like Q, Moneypenny did not appear in Creator/DanielCraig's two first movies, ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'' and ''Film/QuantumOfSolace''. And like Q again, she was reintroduced in ''Film/{{Skyfall}}''.
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: It tends to fluctuate wildly depending on Bond and whether the viewer considers Moneypenny as a proper LoveInterest or even ImpliedLoveInterest, or not.
** Generally, Moneypenny is not shy about teasing Bond and dropping {{Double Entendre}}s, however, when he suggested they have drinks at his place in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', she demurred and said she couldn't trust herself. In ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'' she coolly mentioned ''his'' behavior could qualify as sexual harassment.
** Bond has done everything over the years from flirt back heavily to [[DidTheyOrDidntThey spend time alone with her]] to shrug her off and not seem interested.
* CompositeCharacter: The book incarnations of Moneypenny and Mary Goodnight were combined to create the film version of the former. Goodnight was the secretary of the 00 section, and most of the film Moneypenny's flirtation with Bond comes from his interaction with Goodnight in the books. There is ''another'' secretary, Loelia Ponsonby, who rebuffs everyone's advances due to their short life expectancies.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her flirting and banter with Bond tends to involve a heavy dose of this, too.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether Moneypenny and Bond's flirting is simply light-hearted banter or she is actually [[AllLoveIsUnrequited hopelessly in love with him]] tends to vary wildly from film to film.
* {{Expy}}: Ian Fleming created her based on Second Officer Monday, Rear Admiral John Henry Godfrey's secretary.
* {{Flanderization}}: Moneypenny's intense RETURNED flirtations with Connery and Lazenby might surprise viewers of later installments, considering how one-sided things seemed to get with the platonic Moore and "pining crush" Dalton and Brosnan eras.
* LastNameBasis: She's often referred to as "Miss Moneypenny".
* MythologyGag: An exchange in ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', where she didn't appear, doubling as an obvious one.
--> '''Vesper Lynd:''' I'm the money.
--> '''Bond:''' ''(appreciative look)'' Every penny of it.
* NoFullNameGiven: Fleming never revealed the first name of the novels' Moneypenny nor any of her background. Samantha Weinberg's ''Moneypenny Diaries'' series, which is a continuation of Fleming's novels, went with "Jane", and gave her a backstory. ''Skyfall'' eventually gave her a first name moviewise -- Eve.
* SassySecretary: The original and the best.
* SexySecretary: Seeing how often Bond flirts with her.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: Bond happily seduces and beds any semi-attractive woman he likes... except for Moneypenny. Though [[DidTheyOrDidntThey this might not be true]] for Naomie Harris' version, and [[WordOfStPaul according to Lois Maxwell]] was not historically true [[OldFlame for her version]], either.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Much to their dismay, all of the Moneypennys have this with Bond, with the possible exception of Naomie Harris', given the very potent DidTheyOrDidntThey scene between them in ''Skyfall''. And if it ''is'' still unresolved, it might be to ''his'' dismay rather than hers -- in ''Skyfall'', he tries to undress her at one point before she slaps his hand away, and he's somewhat jealous in ''Spectre'' (after ''another'' DidTheyOrDidntThey scene) when he calls her and he realizes that she has a gentleman visitor (a notable reversal of the typical Bond/Moneypenny dynamic).
* VisualDevelopment: Played with. Particularly in Lois Maxwell's tenure, Moneypenny looks dramatically different and sports a new hairstyle in nearly every film, especially when compared to the more static male characters. However her behavior and motivations don't change, so it's more of a RunningGag.

[[caption-width-right:300:''"Flattery will get you nowhere - but don't stop trying."'']]
!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/LoisMaxwell
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/DrNo'' | ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' | ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' | ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' | ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' | ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' | ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' | ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' | ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' | ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' | ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' | ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' | ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'' | ''Film/AViewToAKill''
The first cinematic Moneypenny. She appeared in all of the early movies from 1962 to 1985, during the entirety of Creator/SeanConnery's, Creator/GeorgeLazenby's and Creator/RogerMoore's tenures (fourteen movies in total).
----
* AgeGapRomance: When George Lazenby's Bond flirts with her in ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service''; Maxwell was 12 years older than Lazenby.
* CharacterAgedWithTheActor: Lois Maxwell played Moneypenny all the way from ''Dr. No'' to ''A View to a Kill'', in 14 movies over 23 years, and it showed. In ''Octopussy'', she notes that she's getting older when she begins training in an assistant, Miss Penelope Smallbone, whom Roger Moore's Bond naturally tries to flirt with as soon as he enters the office.
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: According to [[invoked]]WordOfSaintPaul, at least, she and Bond ''did;'' as seen in this video at 4:00, [[https://youtu.be/WiudpM1DJ7U Maxwell said she, Sean Connery, and the director discussed a backstory where their characters dated years before]] when "Bond was a tea-boy [at [=MI6=]] and Miss Moneypenny was in the typing pool", complete with a romantic country weekend. They gave each other up to put work first, but it's very evident [[OldFlame in the chemistry and intimacy she has]] with Connery.
* DoubleEntendre:
** Her dialogue with Bond tends to run on these, as her EstablishingCharacterMoment makes quite clear.
** In ''You Only Live Twice'', she tells Bond the password he must use to contact Tanaka in Japan. Said password is ''"I love you"'', of course — although it's lampshaded and subverted as she ''fails'' at getting him to say it back to her.
---> '''Bond:''' Don't worry; I get it.
** A few lines before that, she asks him "How was the girl?"
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her very first scene. At work at 3 in the morning, after telling Bond she's been searching all of London to find him, she lets him sit on the arm of her chair and put his arm around her, but smacks his hand when he touches her papers.
--> '''Bond:''' Moneypenny! What gives?
--> '''Moneypenny:''' Me. Given an ounce of encouragement. You never take me to dinner looking like this, James... You never take me to dinner, period.
--> '''Bond:''' I would, you know. Only M would have me court-martialed for [[UnusualEuphemism 'illegal use of government property']].
--> '''Moneypenny:''' Flattery'll get you nowhere... but don't stop trying. (turns, crisply) Now...
--> '''Bond:''' Well, what's all this to-do about?
--> '''Moneypenny:''' Strangways. And it looks serious...
* HiddenDepths: Maxwell's version of Moneypenny remains the only incarnation shown to be a Royal Navy officer (in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice''; the fact she's an officer is indicated by Bond calling her "ma'am").
* LastNameBasis: Her first name is never used. She's just known as "Miss Moneypenny" (or simply "Moneypenny", if you're Bond -- in an inversion, she's one of the very few people to call him 'James').
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Maxwell was Canadian, so her performance as Moneypenny sounds midatlantic at best. It's also so good, it doesn't detract from anything at all.
* RunningGag: Bond tossing his hat onto the coat stand in her office.
** Moneypenny does it herself in ''Goldfinger'' without even glancing in the stand's direction (a feat so remarkable that Bond does an EyeTake), and it's rather poignantly referenced when Bond throws his hat to her at his wedding in ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service''.
** Notable {{Subver|tedTrope}}sions are when Bond doesn't bother in ''Thunderball'', giving up mid-runup, and ''A View to a Kill'', where she refuses to let him do it with her Royal Ascot NiceHat.

* DemotedToExtra: She does appear in ''Licence to Kill'', but, sadly, it's for a much shorter time than usual, and she doesn't even interact with Bond.

!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/NaomieHarris
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' | ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' | ''Film/NoTimeToDie''
The first two Creator/DanielCraig era films, ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'' and ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', didn't include Moneypenny. She was eventually reintroduced in the series with ''Film/{{Skyfall}}''.
----
* ActionGirl: This Moneypenny starts as an [=MI6=] field agent who worked along side Bond before she decided to take a desk job as Gareth Mallory's secretary. Before leaving the field work, she proved that she is a trained sniper, drives like a stuntwoman, took out two mooks with her heels and a metal suitcase and went on to shoot a few more before eventually deciding that fieldwork isn't for her, undoubtedly because of (or largely influenced by) her accidentally shooting Bond in Istanbul.
* AdaptationalBadass: Easily the most action-capable version of Moneypenny to date.
* AscendedExtra: This Moneypenny has a bigger role in the plots of several movies she's been in, which is more than all of the previous Moneypennies:
** She's introduced as an ActionGirl and actively participates in the Istanbul and Macau missions in ''Skyfall''.
** In ''Spectre'', she provides some help to Bond (bringing him clues from the burned ruins of Skyfall Lodge and helping him identify Oberhauser) and M (being one of his very few loyalists in the climax).
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: She's only known as Agent "Eve" for most of ''Skyfall'', but reveals her last name at the end when she becomes M's secretary.
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: ''Skyfall'' leaves it ambiguous over whether she had sex with Bond in Macau.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Granted, they were in a chase, but James needs to have a word with her about driving in crowded streets.
* GivenNameReveal: In ''Skyfall'', she's first known as simply "Eve" for most of the film, until her full name is revealed at the end. She's the first Moneypenny to be given a first name in 50 years worth of films.
* LivingADoubleLife: It is revealed she has a boyfriend in ''Spectre'', and she doesn't let him know about her true job.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She ends up shooting Bond by mistake while he struggled with Patrice atop a train, allowing Patrice to get away with the hard drive containing the identities of undercover NATO agents. Bond doesn't hold any grudge afterwards, as he perfectly knows she did it by mistake with a moving target and in a highly stressful situation. She was also ordered to shoot by M even though she warned that she didn't have a clean shot.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: After accidentally 'killing' Bond she's taken off fieldwork, likely forever.
* RaceLift: The previous Moneypenny actresses were all Caucasian. Now she's played by Naomie Harris, who's of mixed (predominantly Afro-Caribbean) ancestry.
* RetiredBadass: She decides that she's done with field work after the events of ''Skyfall'' that almost caused Bond's death, so she takes a transfer to become M's secretary. It still doesn't stop her from taking to the field in ''Spectre'' when push comes to shove.
* TheReveal: At the end of ''Skyfall'', she states she is not fit for field work, and will remain only in a desk job at [=MI6=]. As Bond says that they have not been properly introduced, she says her full name is Eve Moneypenny.
* SecretRelationship: To Bond's utter surprise, she has a boyfriend in ''Spectre''.
* SheCleansUpNicely: In ''Skyfall'', Bond tells her "You look beautiful in that dress".
* TookALevelInBadass: ''Skyfall'' shows her outside of office / communication work for the first time in the history of the franchise, to say nothing of driving a car during a chase and firing a gun in combat.

[[header:'''Moneypenny''']]
Moneypenny is M's secretary at the [=MI6=] headquarters. She is generally portrayed as flirting with James Bond, while having a not-so-secret crush on him that [[UnresolvedSexualTension never gets resolved]].
----
[[foldercontrol]]
[[folder:The Character in General]]
* AdaptedOut: Like Q, Moneypenny did not appear in Creator/DanielCraig's two first movies, ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'' and ''Film/QuantumOfSolace''. And like Q again, she was reintroduced in ''Film/{{Skyfall}}''.
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: It tends to fluctuate wildly depending on Bond and whether the viewer considers Moneypenny as a proper LoveInterest or even ImpliedLoveInterest, or not.
** Generally, Moneypenny is not shy about teasing Bond and dropping {{Double Entendre}}s, however, when he suggested they have drinks at his place in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', she demurred and said she couldn't trust herself. In ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'' she coolly mentioned ''his'' behavior could qualify as sexual harassment.
** Bond has done everything over the years from flirt back heavily to [[DidTheyOrDidntThey spend time alone with her]] to shrug her off and not seem interested.
* CompositeCharacter: The book incarnations of Moneypenny and Mary Goodnight were combined to create the film version of the former. Goodnight was the secretary of the 00 section, and most of the film Moneypenny's flirtation with Bond comes from his interaction with Goodnight in the books. There is ''another'' secretary, Loelia Ponsonby, who rebuffs everyone's advances due to their short life expectancies.
* DeadpanSnarker: Her flirting and banter with Bond tends to involve a heavy dose of this, too.
* DependingOnTheWriter: Whether Moneypenny and Bond's flirting is simply light-hearted banter or she is actually [[AllLoveIsUnrequited hopelessly in love with him]] tends to vary wildly from film to film.
* {{Expy}}: Ian Fleming created her based on Second Officer Monday, Rear Admiral John Henry Godfrey's secretary.
* {{Flanderization}}: Moneypenny's intense RETURNED flirtations with Connery and Lazenby might surprise viewers of later installments, considering how one-sided things seemed to get with the platonic Moore and "pining crush" Dalton and Brosnan eras.
* LastNameBasis: She's often referred to as "Miss Moneypenny".
* MythologyGag: An exchange in ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'', where she didn't appear, doubling as an obvious one.
--> '''Vesper Lynd:''' I'm the money.
--> '''Bond:''' ''(appreciative look)'' Every penny of it.
* NoFullNameGiven: Fleming never revealed the first name of the novels' Moneypenny nor any of her background. Samantha Weinberg's ''Moneypenny Diaries'' series, which is a continuation of Fleming's novels, went with "Jane", and gave her a backstory. ''Skyfall'' eventually gave her a first name moviewise -- Eve.
* SassySecretary: The original and the best.
* SexySecretary: Seeing how often Bond flirts with her.
* SleepsWithEveryoneButYou: Bond happily seduces and beds any semi-attractive woman he likes... except for Moneypenny. Though [[DidTheyOrDidntThey this might not be true]] for Naomie Harris' version, and [[WordOfStPaul according to Lois Maxwell]] was not historically true [[OldFlame for her version]], either.
* UnresolvedSexualTension: Much to their dismay, all of the Moneypennys have this with Bond, with the possible exception of Naomie Harris', given the very potent DidTheyOrDidntThey scene between them in ''Skyfall''. And if it ''is'' still unresolved, it might be to ''his'' dismay rather than hers -- in ''Skyfall'', he tries to undress her at one point before she slaps his hand away, and he's somewhat jealous in ''Spectre'' (after ''another'' DidTheyOrDidntThey scene) when he calls her and he realizes that she has a gentleman visitor (a notable reversal of the typical Bond/Moneypenny dynamic).
* VisualDevelopment: Played with. Particularly in Lois Maxwell's tenure, Moneypenny looks dramatically different and sports a new hairstyle in nearly every film, especially when compared to the more static male characters. However her behavior and motivations don't change, so it's more of a RunningGag.

[[quoteright:300:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/gw300h300.png]]
[[caption-width-right:300:''"Flattery will get you nowhere - but don't stop trying."'']]
!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/LoisMaxwell
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/DrNo'' | ''Film/FromRussiaWithLove'' | ''Film/{{Goldfinger}}'' | ''Film/{{Thunderball}}'' | ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice'' | ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'' | ''Film/DiamondsAreForever'' | ''Film/LiveAndLetDie'' | ''Film/TheManWithTheGoldenGun'' | ''Film/TheSpyWhoLovedMe'' | ''Film/{{Moonraker}}'' | ''Film/ForYourEyesOnly'' | ''Film/{{Octopussy}}'' | ''Film/AViewToAKill''
The first cinematic Moneypenny. She appeared in all of the early movies from 1962 to 1985, during the entirety of Creator/SeanConnery's, Creator/GeorgeLazenby's and Creator/RogerMoore's tenures (fourteen movies in total).
----
* AgeGapRomance: When George Lazenby's Bond flirts with her in ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service''; Maxwell was 12 years older than Lazenby.
* CharacterAgedWithTheActor: Lois Maxwell played Moneypenny all the way from ''Dr. No'' to ''A View to a Kill'', in 14 movies over 23 years, and it showed. In ''Octopussy'', she notes that she's getting older when she begins training in an assistant, Miss Penelope Smallbone, whom Roger Moore's Bond naturally tries to flirt with as soon as he enters the office.
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: According to [[invoked]]WordOfSaintPaul, at least, she and Bond ''did;'' as seen in this video at 4:00, [[https://youtu.be/WiudpM1DJ7U Maxwell said she, Sean Connery, and the director discussed a backstory where their characters dated years before]] when "Bond was a tea-boy [at [=MI6=]] and Miss Moneypenny was in the typing pool", complete with a romantic country weekend. They gave each other up to put work first, but it's very evident [[OldFlame in the chemistry and intimacy she has]] with Connery.
* DoubleEntendre:
** Her dialogue with Bond tends to run on these, as her EstablishingCharacterMoment makes quite clear.
** In ''You Only Live Twice'', she tells Bond the password he must use to contact Tanaka in Japan. Said password is ''"I love you"'', of course — although it's lampshaded and subverted as she ''fails'' at getting him to say it back to her.
---> '''Bond:''' Don't worry; I get it.
** A few lines before that, she asks him "How was the girl?"
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Her very first scene. At work at 3 in the morning, after telling Bond she's been searching all of London to find him, she lets him sit on the arm of her chair and put his arm around her, but smacks his hand when he touches her papers.
--> '''Bond:''' Moneypenny! What gives?
--> '''Moneypenny:''' Me. Given an ounce of encouragement. You never take me to dinner looking like this, James... You never take me to dinner, period.
--> '''Bond:''' I would, you know. Only M would have me court-martialed for [[UnusualEuphemism 'illegal use of government property']].
--> '''Moneypenny:''' Flattery'll get you nowhere... but don't stop trying. (turns, crisply) Now...
--> '''Bond:''' Well, what's all this to-do about?
--> '''Moneypenny:''' Strangways. And it looks serious...
* HiddenDepths: Maxwell's version of Moneypenny remains the only incarnation shown to be a Royal Navy officer (in ''Film/YouOnlyLiveTwice''; the fact she's an officer is indicated by Bond calling her "ma'am").
* LastNameBasis: Her first name is never used. She's just known as "Miss Moneypenny" (or simply "Moneypenny", if you're Bond -- in an inversion, she's one of the very few people to call him 'James').
* OohMeAccentsSlipping: Maxwell was Canadian, so her performance as Moneypenny sounds midatlantic at best. It's also so good, it doesn't detract from anything at all.
* RunningGag: Bond tossing his hat onto the coat stand in her office.
** Moneypenny does it herself in ''Goldfinger'' without even glancing in the stand's direction (a feat so remarkable that Bond does an EyeTake), and it's rather poignantly referenced when Bond throws his hat to her at his wedding in ''On Her Majesty's Secret Service''.
** Notable {{Subver|tedTrope}}sions are when Bond doesn't bother in ''Thunderball'', giving up mid-runup, and ''A View to a Kill'', where she refuses to let him do it with her Royal Ascot NiceHat.

The Creator/TimothyDalton era Moneypenny.
----
* AgeLift: From 58 years old Lois Maxwell to 24 years old Caroline Bliss.
* AMFMCharacterization: In ''The Living Daylights'', she tries to have Bond come to her home by telling him she loves Music/BarryManilow's music and has a whole collection of it.
* DemotedToExtra: She does appear in ''Licence to Kill'', but, sadly, it's for a much shorter time than usual, and she doesn't even interact with Bond.
* {{Irony}}: Lois Maxwell stated she only agreed to play Moneypenny if [[SexySecretary she didn't have to put her hair in a bun and wear glasses]]. Then came Caroline Bliss.
* LastNameBasis: Like Lois Maxwell's Moneypenny, her first name is never mentioned.
* ScrewTheRulesImDoingWhatsRight: In ''Licence to Kill'', she basically goes against her hierarchy and the whole secret service in that she helps a fugitive RogueAgent, by calling Q in behind M's back to help Bond in Isthmus.
* SmallRoleBigImpact: Her screentime is very short in ''Licence to Kill''. However, her role in the plot is crucial in that it's her who sends Q to Isthmus to help Bond out of fear for his life.

* AsideGlance: Verging on BreakingTheFourthWall when she's deflecting Q's questions about abusing the VR system in ''Film/DieAnotherDay''.
* BoyishShortHair: She sports this hairstyle in the Brosnan movies that followed ''[=GoldenEye=]''.
* EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: In ''[=GoldenEye=]'', Moneypenny is introduced as going to work after a date, with a traditionally feminine appereance, but at the same time eschewing the usual UnresolvedSexualTension with Bond, and stating that she can sue Bond for sexual harassment. In the rest of her appereances, she has BoyishShortHair, and switches towards more familiar teasing.
* KissMeImVirtual: She is the first Moneypenny ever to have kissed Bond on screen in the series[[note]]she did in the non-Eon film ''Film/CasinoRoyale1967''[[/note]]... but it was only virtual, as she used Q's AugmentedReality goggles to satisfy some wild thoughts in ''Die Another Day''.
* LastNameBasis: Like the previous Moneypennys, her first name is never mentioned.
* SheCleansUpNicely: In ''[=GoldenEye=]'', Bond compliments her black evening dress, calling it "lovely" and pondering if she's "dressed to kill."
* SmokingIsNotCool: In ''The World Is Not Enough'', Bond gives her a cigar as a souvenir from his trip to Bilbao; the first thing she does is toss it in the garbage can.

!!! '''Played by:''' Creator/NaomieHarris
!!! '''Appearances:''' ''Film/{{Skyfall}}'' | ''Film/{{Spectre}}'' | ''Film/NoTimeToDie''
The first two Creator/DanielCraig era films, ''Film/{{Casino Royale|2006}}'' and ''Film/QuantumOfSolace'', didn't include Moneypenny. She was eventually reintroduced in the series with ''Film/{{Skyfall}}''.
----
* ActionGirl: This Moneypenny starts as an [=MI6=] field agent who worked along side Bond before she decided to take a desk job as Gareth Mallory's secretary. Before leaving the field work, she proved that she is a trained sniper, drives like a stuntwoman, took out two mooks with her heels and a metal suitcase and went on to shoot a few more before eventually deciding that fieldwork isn't for her, undoubtedly because of (or largely influenced by) her accidentally shooting Bond in Istanbul.
* AdaptationalBadass: Easily the most action-capable version of Moneypenny to date.
* AscendedExtra: This Moneypenny has a bigger role in the plots of several movies she's been in, which is more than all of the previous Moneypennies:
** She's introduced as an ActionGirl and actively participates in the Istanbul and Macau missions in ''Skyfall''.
** In ''Spectre'', she provides some help to Bond (bringing him clues from the burned ruins of Skyfall Lodge and helping him identify Oberhauser) and M (being one of his very few loyalists in the climax).
* CanonCharacterAllAlong: She's only known as Agent "Eve" for most of ''Skyfall'', but reveals her last name at the end when she becomes M's secretary.
* DidTheyOrDidntThey: ''Skyfall'' leaves it ambiguous over whether she had sex with Bond in Macau.
* DrivesLikeCrazy: Granted, they were in a chase, but James needs to have a word with her about driving in crowded streets.
* GivenNameReveal: In ''Skyfall'', she's first known as simply "Eve" for most of the film, until her full name is revealed at the end. She's the first Moneypenny to be given a first name in 50 years worth of films.
* LivingADoubleLife: It is revealed she has a boyfriend in ''Spectre'', and she doesn't let him know about her true job.
* NiceJobBreakingItHero: She ends up shooting Bond by mistake while he struggled with Patrice atop a train, allowing Patrice to get away with the hard drive containing the identities of undercover NATO agents. Bond doesn't hold any grudge afterwards, as he perfectly knows she did it by mistake with a moving target and in a highly stressful situation. She was also ordered to shoot by M even though she warned that she didn't have a clean shot.
* OnceDoneNeverForgotten: After accidentally 'killing' Bond she's taken off fieldwork, likely forever.
* RaceLift: The previous Moneypenny actresses were all Caucasian. Now she's played by Naomie Harris, who's of mixed (predominantly Afro-Caribbean) ancestry.
* RetiredBadass: She decides that she's done with field work after the events of ''Skyfall'' that almost caused Bond's death, so she takes a transfer to become M's secretary. It still doesn't stop her from taking to the field in ''Spectre'' when push comes to shove.

Crying at his wedding has nothing to do with acting motherly, and she isn't any more protective than Caroline Bliss was in LTK.
* CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest: It tends to fluctuate wildly depending on Bond and whether the viewer considers Moneypenny as a proper LoveInterest or even ImpliedLoveInterest, or not.
** Generally, Moneypenny is not shy about teasing Bond and dropping {{Double Entendre}}s, however, when he suggested they have drinks at his place in ''Film/OnHerMajestysSecretService'', she demurred and said she couldn't trust herself. In ''Film/{{Goldeneye}}'' she coolly mentioned ''his'' behavior could qualify as sexual harassment.
** Bond has done everything over the years from flirt back heavily to [[DidTheyOrDidntThey spend time alone with her]] to shrug her off and not seem interested.

** Bond's and Moneypenny's interactions are decisive proof that this isn't equatable with CantActPervertedTowardALoveInterest.
* VisualDevelopment: Played with. Particularly in Lois Maxwell's tenure, Moneypenny looks dramatically different and sports a new hairstyle in nearly every film, especially when compared to the more static male characters. However her behavior and motivations don't change, so it's more of a RunningGag.
