She is an anthropomorphic bat and jewel thief that has worked as a part-time government spy for the President of the United Federation and in close association with the Guardian Units of Nations.

As a spy, Rouge is trained in combat, stealth and infiltration, and possesses both super-level kicking power and flight.
