I just realized something about Penelope. This isn't character assassination. This is character development. Looking back at the third game, I now see that there were subtle hints that she might not be the kind of woman that we thought that she was.

1. She had RC cars and helicopters with weapons attached to them. Not only that, but she also was a champion fighter-pilot. All of these facts showed that she loved combat and was very destructive, albeit not in a villainous way as of yet.

2. It is said in-game that she had gotten used to being the Black Baron. Mind you, she didn't want to be the BB for long, but the fact that she eventually caved in and stayed as the BB shows that she would rather keep power than lose it.

3. While she was on the team for awhile, it clearly wasn't long enough for her to learn about the whole "honorable thief" thing. There was very little honor in trying to get into the Cooper Vault, so obviously she wouldn't have had a tough time comprehending the fact that Sly and co. would go after what was inside of it. When she stayed on the team long enough, she must've gotten annoyed and realized that she wasn't getting what she wanted with Bentley.

Seeing as I haven't played the game yet, this is all I have going for me so far. But the fact remains that what were once subtle, trival and dismissible traits of Penelope have surfaced, becoming something far from friendly.
