Intelligence: Supergenius (Trained explorer shown capable of piloting an entire ship across solar systems by herself, has knowledge of the time pieces and how they work. Seems to have a morality of responsibility with the powers of it. Built and fixed her Rumbi by herself with seemingly no instructions. Made her spaceship. Which include things like alternate dimensional transporters. Was able to escape all the cats in New Metro City trying to catch her with a one million dollar bounty, all the while avoiding rocket launcher shots from The Empress)

Weaknesses: Has none of her hat abilities if her hats are removed. Though she's shown to fight through this. Snatcher's protection is only active when she's on a contract, so if she fulfills her contractual obligations he'll no longer revive her. Though this weakness seems to not matter since their current contract is being her best friend forever.

Feats: A Bow Kid respect thread can be found here.

Note: While there is a scene where she's initially affected by the time piece breaking it should be noted this is a one-off case asides from every other moment. It could be equally argued that this is just a trait of Reactive Evolution or Bow Kid being caught off guard.
