This might be a bit of a stretch, but are Rogues linked to romantic attraction in a way?

They actually seem to be. It may be coincidence, but it may also tie with the concept of outlaw love or finding a small group of people a Robin Hood-esque type really cares about? Not sure where it comes from or if it’s just coincidence but, yeah, Nepeta, Roxy and Rufioh all have quite the focus on romantic issues of different kinds.
