Character Timeline
Selina Kyle is a self-made woman. She started life with next to no assets, and emerged from awful squalor and misery to claw her way toward freedom. She and her sister Magdalene are from Gotham’s East End, where they mostly grew up on the street. Their mother committed suicide shortly after Magdalene’s birth, and their father was an abusive alcoholic.
[Younger Years]
She spent several of her younger years in institutions between orphanages and Juvenile Halls, becoming a petty thief to survive. After discovering one of the institutions was embezzling money, she boasted about her findings and was tossed into the Ocean, only to survive. All records of her were destroyed. Back on the streets, she joined a street gang, run by Mama Fortuna where she further honed her skills, but then buckled under the sheer ruthlessness of Fortuna. Eventually leaving.
[The Cat Suit]
At 15 - she resorted to prostitution for survival. It was during this time her Father died and her sister, Maggie went to a convent to become a nun. She fell in love with her Pimp, but he was violently abusive toward her, often leaving her in back alleys. Upon being discovered one night by nuns, she was taken in by Police, who tried to pry information from the girl. Not giving anything away, the Detective was left with little choice but gave her the name of someone who could teach her self-defense. Refusing the Cop at first, her Pimp gave her a ‘kinky cat suit to service a John. After suspecting the John was some freak, she decided to followed up with the Cop’s advice, leading her to meet Ted Grant - undefeated heavyweight boxing champion, world class martial artist, and former hero “Wildcat”. She proved to be one of the best students he ever had, taking an instant liking to her defiance. When a John gave her a Cat-o-nine-tails, she demanded that Ted teach her how to use it, after being humiliated by meeting the then unnamed Batman who had knocked her out with a punch.
[Becoming the Cat]
After a run in with her sister, who was a Nun by now, she fled. Only to have her sister captured by her pimp, Stan even though she’d left him for dead after a beating. Had it not been for Batman’s intervention, Stan and her sister would have fallen to their death. Though shaken by meeting her sister, having killed Stan, and the sheer ferocity she demonstrated while wearing the cat costume, Selina fled again, vowing never to wear the catsuit again for the way it made her feel ‘unhinged’. Another run in with Batman had the caped crusader convincing Selina not to kill a cop Captain who had beaten a younger prostitute Holly, whom Selina had taken under her wing. Sensing chemistry between herself and the Bat, it was here she began to wonder if she could trust him.
[Cat Power]
At 18, she embarked on a Solo career, preying on the East end Criminal bosses. Now called “Catwoman”, she attempted to steal from Gotham’s biggest Crime Lord, Roman. Only one again, due to the intervention of Batman did she survive.
[Cat-lization]
There were numerous swindles, thefts and relationships that failed, including one with a criminal named Stark that left her deeply hurt, and several flings with Batman that was an on again off again relationship of wits and wiles. She was successful in many of her thefts, large sums of money, diamonds and more. But she realized that the life as a master criminal only provided her with empty thrills while killing off those for whom she cared. Although she professed not to know the meaning of the word “love”, she clung to Stark’s corpse during the whole night before slowly letting it slide into the river as the dawn came. She formed the project to go back to her roots in the East End. Stark’s death marked the end of the Thrill of Adventure motivation for Selina Kyle.
[Cat-Reinvention]
Despite her pride, she took to asking Batman for help and was referred to Dr. Leslie Thompkins who alluded to her problems being all psychological. With a yearning need to fix her roots, her relationship with her sister, Catwoman reinvented herself as a vigilante for the still-squalid and decaying East End of Gotham City. This resulted in the War of the East end, fighting Black Mask and ultimately proving herself “Queen and Kingpin of the East End”. Though not without it’s losses. Magdalene Kyle was left catatonic and traumatised by torture, and her husband murdered. It was just prior to this time she’d partnered up with Harley-Quinn and Poison Ivy as Gotham City Sirens after believing Batman dead. His death impacted her greatly.

Audition post
Night pervaded the City with an unrelenting grip. Fog oozed around Gotham like a maniacal specter of mist, convoluting the refined thoroughfare on the whole, while adding an eerie sense of danger which seemed ever present, looming constantly like a black shadow. For some, it invoked fear while for others, Enlightement with a the thrill of the hunt that riddled through veins. The Cat, as she was stood hidden among the shadows like a ninja of darkness atop an iconic building that gave the feline femme fetale a gripping view of what lay below. Though it wasn’t so much the view that inspired as it was one particular location where in which she could retrieve papers from one given Crime Lord who was attempting to take control of the East End. A particular safe within a rather location was much upon the Cat’s mind - further indications that Criminals were trying to take what remained of the East End and the Hell unleashed by Earthquake so long ago. Regardless, whip procured in hand she readily used her agility and flexibility to swing with perfect aim toward the locale of her choosing.
Atop a restaurant she came to land with grace and fluidity - silence issued as booted feet hit the ground, gloved hands landed upon the roof across the way. Claws elongated from their vessels, the bullwhip was slipped into one hand while she moved in silent momentum across the roof, before using a series of picks to open up the roof door that would lead within. The scent of food wafted through her olfactory senses, though the feline was hardly put of by such a notion - it took little to sway her from her track when a goal was set upon and this was something she verily wished to succeed. It wasn’t until she lowered the staircase did she come across several bouncers, dressed to the nines in their fancy suits with arms crossed standing guard of the entrance she needed to get within. “Hello Boys..” A sultry tone purred with delicious fashion as she came to stop before him, head canting under the confines of the cowl, jade hues near hidden behind the lenses on the upper portion of her face. Though plush red lips parted in a delightful smile as the men were caught of guard by her sudden appearance with no warning to give them a heads up. “Care to play? I’ve been so bored as of late..” Before her sentence was finished the whip was sent with a vicious fashion toward one male where it leashed around his neck to drag him forward while at the same time she spun to the right, leg aimed outward to kick another fellow right in the gut that had him bending forward. The Whip wasn’t meant to strangle but merely by her movement and action to asphyxiate the male to the point of passing out. It was deftly unhinged from such a neck as the male fell only to be cracked once more in the direction of the third fellow while the forth had pulled his gun.
“Oh.. Look. Finally a challenge.” The lint of a purr was delicious as she reached toward the belt around the smooth curvature of her hips, thanks to the revealing quality of her suit and releasing from it with a swift motion a Caltrop toward the gun-yielding male, knocking the weapon out of hands and having it go of so that the very bullet shot through his knee. Using the momentum of the whip, she leapt upward and over the last man standing in a display of lightening reflexes to land behind him, only to then knock out the back of his leg with her boot-blade as it pierced his Achilles tendon. Sending him too to the ground in a spurt of blood, she watched him suffer momentarily. “And here I thought you’d be far more entertaining..“ The wound itself would not kill. Only maim. Freedom procured she kicked open the door to the room where in which lay the safe. As typical, she was fully aware of the layout, the room and it’s furnishings long before she’d arrived on scene. She’d been there before, in disguise to scope the place out. It didn’t take a genius, despite her intellect to figure out where the safe was kept. After all, she was a cat burglar with a desire to do good. For the most part. This was just the beginning of her reign in the East End. The night had only just begun… and she was confident to know she’d be successful in this venture, if not the next one she found herself in too.
