Carmen Sandiego

Carmen Sandiego is a fictional character featured in a long-running edutainment series of the same name.

As a criminal mastermind and the elusive nemesis of the ACME Detective Agency, Sandiego is the principal villain of the series and head of ACME's rival organization V.I.L.E.

She is an important part of the series, which originally focused on teaching geography and history (although the series later extended to mathematics and English).

The character later appeared in a series of books and many other licensed products.

Most of her crimes involve spectacular and often impossible cases of theft.

Her full name, according to Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego? Treasures of Knowledge, is Carmen Isabella Sandiego.

Carmen Sandiego is almost always portrayed as a woman with a red trench coat, a matching fedora and long brown hair, although her hair color was given to be "auburn" or "black" in some of the earliest games.

Her fedora is often shown leaving her face in shadow and obscuring her eyes.

When her eyes are visible, they are usually brown, although they were blue in Where on Earth is Carmen Sandiego? and in Carmen Sandiego Math Detective.

In many appearances she also wears gray or black leather gloves.

In the original Brøderbund games and in all the TV shows, she wore a yellow or orange dress under her trench coat, with a matching stripe on her fedora, and red high-heeled shoes (best recognized in this outfit).

She also seemed to have a flair for elegance, often wearing jewelry.

However, in the games created under The Learning Company, her appearance was retooled so that she wore a grayish black catsuit under her trench coat, with the stripe on her fedora changed to match, and more practical footwear.
