Pamela

Pamela is a former gambler and a member of the robber trio Vanishing Bunny, along with Lana and Sonia Bake. In December 1931, she and her partners plan to rob the Flying Pussyfoot during its journey from Chicago to New York City, but instead decide to hold Carzelio Runorata for ransom after they find him in their truck. In the end, they receive a ransom payment of fifty cents from Gabriel and Juliano. Following the kidnapping incident, she and her friends rescue Spike from the railroad tracks. In the ensuing months, she and Lana become maids for Manfred Beriam. In February 1935, Pamela attends the Runorata Family's casino party at Ra's Lance as a gambler, worried about what plans Manfred and Spike have for Sonia there. Pamela is a practical and cautious woman, unlike her companion Lana, who is more impractical and loose-tongued—something that often leads to bouts of verbal sparring between the two (usually involving Pamela chastising Lana over one of her hare-brained ideas). She is an extremely talented cheater when it comes to gambling, a skill that she would prefer not to fall back on now that she's gainfully employed. Though her group Vanishing Bunny aspires (or once aspired) to be like the outlaw Myra Starr, she has no illusions about being some sort of grand outlaw hero—no, she firmly considers herself to be a no-good lowlife, and feels guilt over having involved Sonia in a life of crime. She cares for Sonia (and Lana) deeply, and is highly concerned over protecting Sonia from her situation in 1935.
