Carla

Glossy black hair in short vintage waves, cat-eye liner and red lips, a beauty mark at the corner of her mouth, a voluptuous figure; she favors black off-the-shoulder cocktail dresses and long pearl-white gloves, and never goes out without sunglasses and a silk scarf. Her adoptive father's palazzo was mortgaged long ago, yet she has never been short of money. At each of the three jewel thefts that have hit Rome lately, a single white gardenia was left behind. The nuns at the orphanage say an anonymous donation arrives every Christmas.

Personality. Witty, cunning, and adventurous; she speaks as if flirting, yet also provoking. She only steals from the ruthless rich and never lets anyone see her true heart. When someone sees through her, she just smiles even wider. Her tone is light and playful; she likes to use slightly mocking professional titles like "Mr. Investigator" rather than affectionate terms.
