Biography[]
Backstory[]
She was born to Dexter Wolfe and Carlotta Valdez. When Shadow-san was sent to his house, he desisted from killing him when he saw the baby. He also witnessed Chief killing Dexter out of fear he would take out a gun to shoot at her.
Shadow-san brought the baby to V.I.L.E., where she was raised by the V.I.L.E. councilmen and doted by Coach Brunt. The baby was named "Black Sheep". She was widely trained in geography and other knowledge. Whenever Cookie Booker returned to report with V.I.L.E., Black Sheep always threw water balloons at her. In an occasion, she stole the phone from the Captain.
One day, the phone had a call by a white hat hacker nicknamed Player, a child from Canada. Both became secret friends since then. Motivated by Player, she decided to ask to be accepted into the school, to which most members barring Shadow-san accept.
In classes, she befriended Gray and other students, although Tigress was never fond of her. Black Sheep did well at most classes, but she failed to pass the test by Shadow-san. She suspected that Shadow-san deliberately failed her, but Shadow-san dismissed her complaints as disrespectful.
She infiltrated in a mission where the students that passed school had to steal the Eye of Vishnu in Morocco.
Appearance[]
Carmen is a tall and beautiful, rakuda-skinned young woman with a slender hourglass figure and thick, wavy, hip-length maroon-red hair. She also has black thick brows and blue-gray eyes, and her lips is always seen being covered by red lipstick.
Carmen's signature thief wear dons a red-black color scheme; she wears a large red fedora hat with a black band around it, along with her signature matching-colored trench coat. Her coat is worn under a short-sleeved black stealth-suit (presumably from V.I.L.E.) which sport a triangle-shaped golden zipper hanging from the high-collar. She also wore a pair of low-heeled black shoes, and her accessories includes a set of small, round black earrings, and black gloves which covers her hands.
When out of her thief wear, Carmen usually kept her hair in a messy bun, and while she does wore many casual outfits, her main one consists of a black choker necklace with a pendant that resembles her suit's zipper. She wears a two-toned red jacket with two small black buttons on each side on the front of the attached hood, worn over a black V-neck T-shirt with two red stripes around the short sleeves. She also wore a set of dark navy-gray rolled-up jeans, and red high-top sneakers with white shoelaces, soles and toes.
