Hum. I would say Bonnie was cute, which is probably why she got away with so much, my goodness though she was really skinny. Clyde looked like a dandy, however.

I saw some documentary about them or the era.

One account by a LEO on cornering them someplace and encountering Bonnie went something like "...and then this little redheaded thing came out, wielding a [cut-down] BAR. The rounds impacted the tree next to me, and the concussions sent me tumbling backwards. Probably saved my life..."

Trivia: She was 4’10 or 11” and weighed roughly 90 lbs. She was largely crippled in a car crash two years before her death:

“What is certain is that Parker sustained serious third degree burns to her right leg. The burn was so severe, the muscles contracted and caused the leg to “draw up”; near the end of her life, Parker could hardly walk and would either hop on her good leg or be carried by Clyde.” - Wiki
