Thief (Animi Avatar)

"Born and raised in a world of poverty, the Thief was taught how to steal, run and climb to survive, alongside her brother. Always together, acting as a team, they once split a pair of scissors to make a weapon, swearing to protect each other. It's been 10 years now... and she's never forgotten the day she broke her promise."

- Ubisoft description

The Thief (real name: Faustina Collari) is an unlockable multiplayer character in Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, available after the player has reached level 25. Her weapon is a Scissor Blade.

Unique Moves
Ankle Grabber (Low Profile, Back)
 * The Thief walks up behind her target and drops her weapon next to their foot, before reaching down to retrieve it. After tugging on her victim's ankle slightly to attract their attention, she quickly stands up as they turn around, before using the momentum to stab her target in the head with her scissor blade.

Heart Attack (Low Profile, Front)
 * The Thief approaches her target from the front and makes a deadly blow to her target's heart. Getting her blade stuck in their torso, she wiggles the blade from side to side and yanks her weapon out her target's chest, before pushing her victim away and stashing her scissor blade up her sleeve.

Joy Ride (High Profile, Back)
 * The Thief runs upto her target and jumps onto their back. As she holds onto them while they stagger forward, giving herself a piggyback ride, she stabs her target in their chest twice. She then hops off their body as it falls to the ground and conceals her weapon.

'Go For the Eyes! (High Profile, Front)'
 * The Thief engages her target by pushing them forward, causing them to stagger back slightly. As her victim attempts to walk forward and retaliate, the Thief wins the scuffle by seizing the opportunity to stab her target in the eye with her scissor blade, subsequently piercing their brain and sending them slumping to the floor.

Pickpocket's Revenge (Bench Kill) 
 * The Thief approaches her seated target, purposely dropping her weapon next to her victim's foot by mistake and crouching down slightly, in order to get a better look and identify them. Confirming her suspicions, the Thief grabs her scissor blade from the floor, before her victim can react, and plunges her weapon in the side of their head, killing them instantly. With her target freshly dispatched, she pulls their dead body from their seat and throws them to the floor.

'Tag! You're It! (Aerial Kill) '
 * The Thief leaps from a rooftop, scissor blade in hand, before landing on her target. She then stabs downwards into her victim's neck, piercing the jugular and causing them to bleed to death.
