|Description=There can be no mistaking this woman for who and what she is: one of Gotham City's most notorious cat burglars. Catwoman stands in the neighborhood of five and a half feet tall and is dressed for action in a catsuit that's black as night, hugging her athletic body in all the right places. The outfit holds a shine to it under the right light, but it has a textured pattern to it in places that suggests a composite of materials for the maximum in flexibility and protection.<br><br>Her head and face is mostly hidden behind a half-hood, a strap and buckle beneath the chin to keep it snug. Stylish cat ears sit atop her head, built into the hood itself, and she wears a pair of red-tinted goggles that turn up at the tips to hint at another pair of ears. This leaves just her nose, mouth, and cheeks visible, her own ears covered. Dark lipstick, a deep red that sometimes comes off as black, provides a contrast to skin that looks on the pale side. Based on what's seen of her expression - the goggles hide her eyes - she has the look of someone full of confidence about herself and her place in the world. Sometimes, a few strands of black hair poke out at her forehead from beneath the hood.<br><br>The catsuit covers the entirety of her body from the neck down, a ring for a pull zipper found at the throat, though at times it finds a spot closer to her bosom depending on how distracting she wants to be. Gloves sheathe her hands and fingers, built into extra coverage up to the forearms, and claws tip each digit. As for her feet, boots go about halfway up her shins, buckled in place with a textured sole to help her better grip whatever surface she's on. It's flat, no heel to it.<br><br>Last, but certainly not least, a dangerous-looking bullwhip is normally coiled about her waist, the handle to one side as it gives the idea of a tail when she's in motion. A belt buckle in the shape of a cat's head helps hold it in place. If that whip is in use, watch out. | |||
|History=Catwoman's history is not for the faint of heart. She was born in one of the worst parts of Gotham City. Her parents, Brian and Maria, came up well short of being ideal parents. Maria was often distant toward both Selina and her sister Maggie, focusing more of her attention on the cats they had instead. Brian was an alcoholic and treated Maria very poorly. Just to get away from the trouble at home, Selina took up gymnastics, but at one point she came home from school to find Maria dead in a pool of her own blood in the bathtub. Suicide by razor blade was accepted as the cause. If that wasn't enough, another day came where Brian also died, this due to overdrinking. Selina ran away from home after summoning the police.<br><br>With Maggie in an orphanage, Selina took to the streets to survive, starting out by stealing food from various supermarkets before she was busted and taken to an orphanage herself. This led to juvenile hall thanks to the trouble she consistently caused. Attempted murder followed when she was thirteen, sent to yet another orphanage different from the first one. When Selina learned the place was embezzling money, they stuffed her into a bag, leaving her to die in a river. Fortunately for her, she managed to get herself free. Revenge soon followed as she obtained proof of the money theft along with taking some of it for herself first, then she contacted the police and they took care of the rest.<br><br>Selina laid low for a spell, but the thrill of thieving was too great to ignore for very long. She spent time as a prostitute, but also ramped up her capers as a cat burglar, graduating to mostly pilfering valuable gems from museums and the rich. During one of these forays, a ninja made off with a totem she'd been after. Tracking him down, she came across a warehouse being used as a clandestine martial arts academy. The ninja, Kai, urged for her to be punished, but the Sensei saw how fast her reflexes were and invited her to join them to improve her knowledge and skill.<br><br>After accepting, some weeks passed and Selina showed real progress. By then, she'd gained the nickname of "Nehko-Chan" at the academy. This, along with the fact the Sensei showed favor to Selina over the rest, led to deepening jealousy and resentment from Kai, who often injured her on purpose while training. This resulted in her leaving before much more time went by, but she soon found a new target to focus on.<br><br>Selina was watching the news when Batman was sighted around Robinson Park. After hurrying over to see if she could spot him, she spotted him for just a couple seconds, leaving through the air as he often did. Inspired by what she'd seen, Selina had the idea of trying to be like him in the sense of coming up with a costume of her own, trying to get people to react one way or another like they tended to when he was around. After burning through the rest of what she had just to come up with the proper costume and equipment, she was in the midst of knocking off a convenience store only to be interrupted by a number of security guards. She fled, but not before one dubbed her "Catwoman." It stuck, the main reason being she liked it herself.<br><br>She soon developed a stronger tie to Batman, namely in the form of being a thorn in his side due to all the thievery she took part in. On some level, it was done to gain his attention and give her the chance to get closer to him. By doing what she did, it put her squarely in his sights as someone to stop, yet for some reason she never ended up in Arkham Asylum. She also didn't show the fear of him so many others in Gotham City did, and along the way she had no choice but to admit to herself she actually liked him on some level. It became a game of cat and bat, both of them trying to one-up each other from her point of view.<br><br>Selina also came to become somebody in Gotham City's social circles. Few people, if any, seemed to care enough to look into her past or how she came to be better off financially. She showed a penchant for cat-based charities, occasionally holding fundraising events. Other times, she simply stole to put much of her profits into said charities, keeping enough for herself to live comfortably, if modestly, with a few luxuries allowed.<br><br>At some of these events, Selina met Bruce Wayne and struck up a friendship with him, visiting Wayne Manor from time to time. However, she has no idea at this point that the billionaire playboy is, in fact, Batman himself. What will happen if and when she finds out the truth about him, or vice versa? | |||
|Personality=Upon first meeting her, one might assume Selina is a shallow woman, lacking anything much depth when it comes to her personality. In reality there are many layers to her, much of which remains hidden until she gets to where she can trust someone. Compassionate, she has a huge heart that holds a lot of love for those she cares about, especially her beloved big cats, and she is willing to go out of her way to offer aid when and where she can if she feels it's justified. She is also shrewd and cunning, not only when petitioning people for donations but also when she's on the job as Catwoman. Despite her warmth, there's also a side of her that is slow to trust, wary of people outside her inner circle. | |||
