One VILE Trio

This is a birthday present for

A group pic of the founding members of VILE in the TUFF universe: Carmen Sandiego, Ariel Phantom, and Eric Wolfman. They formed VILE with minor villains that Team Katswell has faced in the past that have no affiliation to any other major baddie. Their goal is not to rule the world, or get rid of Kitty in any way, shape, or form. They just simply want to steal major world treasures just for the fun of it. They don't care if they get caught or not.

They're basically teaching the crooks they brought on board that they're more to crime than just getting revenge on the world for rejecting them. They believe that they should embrace their criminal endeavors, and have fun committing crimes.

Ariel is basically Carmen's left-hand woman, and Eric is her right-hand man. Ariel was essentially abandoned as a child by her own mother seconds after birth because it seemed that she was actually born with essence of a demon from the tenth level of Heck. She was dumped on the doorstep of an opera house in Paris, France after her parents rejected her, and she spent her entire childhood living in the cellar because she was afraid that anyone could try and expose her demon side. When she turned 18, she left the opera house after it was abandoned, and covered herself with a white sheet to keep her demon side hidden. Everyone was convinced that she would turn into something horrible or try to curse them. But, Carmen eventually found her, and took her under her wing as her big sister. She told her that even though people were afraid of her demon-half, she should embrace her true self, and become who she wants to be.

Eric, however, was born in Chicago, Illinois to a duo of master thieves. His parents were never malicious nor considered themselves true villains. Like Carmen, they just committed crimes just for the thrill of the heist, and they wanted Eric to carry on the legacy. Eric's wardrobe was inspired by the King of Pop's "Smooth Criminal" music video, and yes, he considers himself smooth with the ladies as well. As he got older, he eventually learned about Carmen Sandiego, and decided to go work for her. She agreed to hiring him, and brought him on board as her right-hand man. After being introduced to her left-hand woman Ariel, the two of them began dating, although Ariel seems to have gotten her eye on a certain blue feline in Team Iron Hoof over time.

Interesting to note that in "The Qittaswell Sisters," Eric is actually John's new assistant and serves the same purpose of being a love interest to Ariel, and to Shine as well. ^^

Happy Birthday, ! Hope you like it!
