Abilities/Skills: Selina is a graceful woman, due to her studies of ballet and gymnastics, as well as several martial arts. She is skilled with her whip, and in acrobatics. A talented thief, she employs several high-tech, as well as low-tech gadgets to get her in where she shouldn't be. Selina is also highly knowledgeable in Art History, something which she had pursued a degree in, and is a great performer, something she utilizes in her day-to-day interactions to get her what she wants.
Weaknesses: Shiny things, tall men with dark hair, mischief that can be caused, and pushing herself to the point of exhaustion in both work, and play. If a thrill can be had, or found, or a button to be pushed, you can find Selina on the other end more than likely.
Appearance: Selina Kyle is a curvy, fit woman with dark hair prone to curl and green eyes. Clad usually in high-end designers, her taste is impeccable. As Catwoman, she utilizes either a black, or deep purple kid-skin leather bodysuit, coupled with claw-tipped gloves, a belt, boots, and a cowl.
Personality: Ms. Kyle is a confidant, coy, and sassy businesswoman. Playing by her own rules, she tends to march to the beat of her own drummer. A lover of couture clothing and jewelry, her curvy body is prone to being decked out in Gucci, Chanel, and other fashion and jewelry houses. A former ballet student, she carries herself with a certain poise and grace gained from the dancing discipline. Ms. Kyle gained an Art history degree at the Sorbonne in France, which has influenced her attire and lifestyle choices. Witty, as well as passionate, she currently lives with her cat Jasper near Robinson Park.
While the above encapsulates Selina Kyle in one brief, concise bit of information, the actual woman is as mercurial as her namesake. In one moment Selina is a shy, sweet thing, in another, she is the cunning, sly seductress, intent on her prey of the evening. Prone to disliking sunlight, she is most alive at night, but tolerates the daytime to do consultations for her firm, as well as to appear somewhat of a normal Gotham citizen. A woman fiercely loyal to her freedom, Selina has been known to travel on a whim, and keep even some of her closest friends at arm's distance at times.
Background: Selina Kyle's early life was defined by tragedy. When she was just a girl, her brutalized mother Maria committed suicide and her violent father Brian drank himself to death not long after. Separated from her younger sister Magdalena and remanded to the Sprang Hall Juvenile Detention Center, an abusive state home for orphaned or delinquent girls, she opted instead to take her chances on the streets of Gotham City. Amid the crime and corruption of the poverty-stricken East End district, she survived through petty theft. Sharp wits and an amazing natural skill as a gymnast led to her becoming the slickest cat burglar the Gotham City Police Department had ever dealt with.
To protect herself, she studied martial arts. Later ex-heavyweight champ Ted Grant (Wildcat) taught her boxing. For a time, she was the most accomplished thief nobody knew. She was also one of the most generous, spreading her ill-gotten gains among the downtrodden and destitute of the East End. She would have continued to rob with impunity if not for the Batman. Spying the Caped Crusader from her window on one of his first outings, she watched him in action and was suitably inspired to take up her own costume when prowling the Gotham night.
Using her newfound money, Selina chose to open her own Security Firm, most of the time utilized as a front for her own personal break-in opportunities, as well as shutting out her other thieving competition.

Origin
Finding that black was too...simple, Selina was able to find a place to make her a custom fit leather bodysuit, along with boots and gloves. And thus she claimed the title 'Catwoman,' starting to hit jewelry stores and expensive high rises for their baubles. Here and there she would etch whiskers and a tail, to leave her mark in a rather feminine carving. Catwoman was making a name for herself; even if the whispers of a curvy, purple clad woman weren't quite reaching the proper ears yet.
Current Life
Ms. Kyle current is running a small security consulting firm. A relative newcomer to the Upper Crust of Gotham, she has shown not only a business savvy for her firm and it's endeavors, but a philanthropic side as well. Funding a wild cat sanctuary upstate is one of her passions, as well as contributing to various charities and non-profit organizations...*
*if this is not adequate, I have a much more in-depth background I can utilize as well.
Current Associates: Olivia, her personal assistant. Alec Morganson-IT/Security, former SAS. A-something, her secretary
Current Enemies: Ra's al Ghul, Batman, of course, the "Harpies" of Gotham's upper crust.
Other Relationships:ex-husband, Batman, Harvey Bullock [and his sisters] Rogue's Gallery (TBD) Edward Nigma/Riddler, Summer Gleeson (Friend), Elise Noble (Friend), Charlotte Geier. An 'Uncle' in Italy.
RP Sample:
Selina rolled her eyes. As much as she did love these little soirees, they bored her to death. Especially when they started running past her internal clock, and she started itching to be on the rooftops. At least this little shin-dig had some benefit to it; the women had been draped in baubles, and in both of her professions, she had gained pointers. A few of her elegant business cards had been slipped from her clutch to waiting fingertips.
After several apologetic goodbyes, Selina finally excused herself from the party, heading out to her sleek little car. Yes, she had driven herself. But how could she not have taken advantage of the location tonight. Removing a soft-leather bag from her passenger seat, she easily slipped out of the long-sleeved from she had worn. Long-sleeved was not her standard go-to, but hell. It easily had disguised her supple kid-skin leather bodysuit, the boots easily swapped on from her heels. All she needed was her cowl, her belt, the gloves, and Catwoman was awake for the night. Once fully prepared, she slunk out of her vehicle, locking it, and slinging the soft leather bag over her head to let it settle at her hip.
After a gruelling week's work, she was ready to tackle the MoMa's new security system that had been put in place for their newest exhibit; something that the papers, gossip rags, and tv had been promoting for the past 3 weeks. It wasn't only the delicate jewels that drew her to the task, but the risk, and of course, the challenge. Scaling the nearest fire escape, Selina could feel her muscles loosening as she eased into her more welcome skin as Catwoman...
