Favourite Tropes Meme:The Gentleman Thief
The Gentleman Thief has roguish good looks coupled with a breeding and style that manifests as a suave and debonair manner, a real charmer. He steals for the challenge/pleasure of the job and generally avoids violence while restricting his targets to those who can afford the loss. Murdering your target or stealing from them at gun point is not very gentlemanly. It’s not uncommon for the GT to give at least a part of the goods he steals to the poor, often while very cynically commenting on social injustice and how the rich surely got their wealth with dirty methods.

Favourite Tropes Meme:The Classy Cat Burglar
Walking, talking, purring class. She doesn’t steal; she liberates. She doesn’t lie; she fibs. She steals from the rich and gives to… herself, but she’s so graceful and easy on the eyes that you’ll want to let it slide.

Books: Gabrielle (Heist Society)
