I picked Catwoman because I love her to death and I always wanted to change Catwoman around a bit. I also wanted to bring back Red Claw for the animated series and make her more of a threat to Catwoman than ever before. This version's Catwoman had a tough life, like the original Catwoman. However, her parents would die because of drugs and alcohol. The detention center, combined with the abuse back home, made her life more tougher to live in. It wasn't until she found the carnival that life began to treat her good, but good things don't last long. She was forced to live on the streets working with Stan the Pimp. She made several friends, but she knew that she couldn't let the abuse keep on happening. So she fought back and killed him. Normally, Selina would of been fine with it. However, my version was fine with it [b]at first.[/b] Years after thinking of the possibilities (thanks to the Batman's influence), she would come to regret killing Stan. Batman's influence and their 'relationship' would impact her for her remaining life. She knew about this and left him behind, trying to turn back into the 'old' Catwoman. It never went away. However, she would be challenged by Red Claw after not finishing a job for the Claw. It took years for Catwoman to hide; despite her best efforts, Gotham suffers a terrible earthquake and Selina races back home. Now that Red Claw most likely knows that Catwoman will be in Gotham, it's only a matter of time before she's gets attack. Normally, she would ask Batman's help; however, she can't bring herself to go to him with every problem. So, she tries to capture Red Claw on her own. Both Catwoman's and Selina Kyle's morals and ethics will be conflicted during this plotline.[/i][/indent][/indent] [COLOR=dimgray][INDENT][B][SUP][SUB][H3]N O T E S[/H3][/SUB][/SUP][/B][/INDENT][hr][/COLOR][INDENT][i]If your character would accepted the bounty and/or spent time with Catwoman during 2007-2012, then give me a headsup and we could come up with some sort of fun plot together. [hider=Timeline][color=dimgray]๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿณ๐Ÿฑ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] Selina Kyle was born. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿณ๐Ÿณ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] Her mother, Maria Kyle, killed herself by overdosing on cocaine to get away from her abusive husband. Afterwards, her fatherโ€”Brian Kyleโ€”drank himself to death and she was sent to Sprang Hall Juvenile Detention Center. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿญ๐Ÿต๐Ÿด๐Ÿด [b]โ‡[/b][/color] Selina had enough of abuse for the detention center and ran away, heading far away from the place. She eventually found herself a carnival and tried her luck pickpocketing the crowd. Soon enough, she was caught by the owner and offered a place in the carnival than juvenile hall. She accepted. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] During Kyle's time at the carnival, she learned the art of contortionism, gymnastics, magic and trickery. She also improved her pickpocketing skills on new crowds while performing. The original owner died later in the year and replaced by a younger owner. Kyle decided to live life on the streets becoming a prostitute in the East End of Gotham. A few months later, she met with an underage girl named Holly Robinson while working for their abusive pimp Stan. After taking a couple beatings, she decided to go to the local boxing gym to teach herself some fighting skills. That was when she met Juliรกn Magrina, a boxer, and he taught her some new fighting moves. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] It wasn't until the cold month of March that she finally got the guts to defend herself against Stan. Luck was at herself for the first few hits, but she eventually lost and toss outside. Feeling ashamed of herself, she took a long walk around East End thinking about her future. That was when she heard some shouting and gunshots coming from a construction site nearby. Curious about the noise, she went further to investigate and encountered a figure that used the shadows to attack. One by one, the thugs were taken into the darkness while yelling for help. She kept behind the trash cans for a few minutes until the police arrived. With her catsuit that Stan got her, she lied to him about being stabbed in the leg outside an alleyway. He soon left his place and arrived at Kyle's location, realizing that no-one was there. Selina Kyle pounced on him and started scratching his face up. After five minutes of clawing at his face, she realized that he had lost too much blood. She was overjoyed at the fact that her abuser was dead, but wished that he lived long enough to suffer like she had. With her catsuit covered in blood, she went back home to tell Holly of the news. Holly didn't know what to do with the news, the majority of her life was spent on the streets. Selina hooked her up with Juliรกn Magrina to help her start a new life while she stayed at East End, starting a new chapter in her life. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฐ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] After that night, Selina quickly brought a new, upgradeable cat suit and became a thief. For three years, she was fine with being a 'horrible person' since it paid for the weapons and her homeโ€”The Tin Roof Club. That was changed when she met the Batman for the first time since that faithful night. Some won't believe her when she says that Batman fell onto the club's fire escape, which happened to be near her home. After fighting Deadshot, Batman was shot in the chest and fell towards the fire escape. Selina was shocked to discover that the Batman had been landed near her home and discovered the wound. She brought him into her home and fixed him up, spent the whole night with him before going to sleep. The stitches weren't done by any doctor, but she did her best with the supplies that she had. When morning came, she was the first up and discovered that the Batman was still in her bed. Being nosy, she took off the mask to discover that Bruce Wayne was the Batman. It made sense to Selina on how he was able to afford all of his gadgets. She planned on putting the mask back on him, but he woke too early. He was rightfully upset at her and left to stop Deadshot, stating that he would deal with her 'later.' As soon as he left, she was knew that this Deadshot person was going to get Batman. She got dressed as Catwoman and tried to pin down his location in a twelve hour search all over Gotham. It was all hopeless until she heard gunshots and found Batman and Deadshot. That was how she helped Batman fought off Deadshot. After the fight, Batman knew that Catwoman was Selina right away and called her out about earlier. Using her looks and charm, she managed to calm him down a bit before they kissed. That was how their 'relationship' started. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿณ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] Catwoman decided to end her 'relationship' with Batman and move out of Gotham to travel all over the world as a way of getting over Bruce. She handed over the club to Magrina and left Gotham, but not before saying goodbye to Batman. After her leave, she did what she told her and traveled all over doing jobs for people. She stole for heroes and villains, fought some of them, teamed up with a few of them, and helped out a couple individuals. During her time away from Gotham, she met Red Claw. At first, it was just a simple job that the Red Claw needed. Steal something off of a train headed for Berlin. Something then happened aboard the train that made Red Claw angry enough to put out a bounty. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿญ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] After years spent on the run, Selina heard about the earthquake in Gotham and returned home. East End suffered deaths and destruction that were brought by the earthquake and it's aftermath. Catwoman discovered that the Tin Roof Club had been destroyed and killed several people, including Juliรกn Magrina. Feeling terrible for her friend's death, she decided to stay in Gotham and rebuild the club. However, she always kept an eye out for Red Claw or anyone that took her offer. [color=dimgray]๐Ÿฎ๐Ÿฌ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿฎ [b]โ‡[/b][/color] When she heard the problems that Batman faced while she was gone, Catwoman wanted to meet him. She stopped by Wayne Manor to check up on Bruce and the rest of the family. As she entered, Alfred welcomed her and walked her towards the hidden pathway. However, he stopped and explained the entire situation from the earthquakes to the Joker. He's worried about how guilt that Bruce developed since meeting with the freak. It cost him Dick as he got tired of Bruce being more strict. Alfred was feeling terrible for not addressing it sooner, but he's grateful for her arrival and suggests that she could talk to him about getting help. She agrees and heads for the Batcave to see her friend again. Catwoman greeted the Batman and talked for a bit about the situation with Gotham since she left before talking about the Joker. When she mentioned Joker, Bruce got upset with her and demanded to stop talking about him. Selina refused and tried to make him see reason. In order to do that, she had to admit that she regretted killing Stan and it changed her life. She suggested to him about getting help before it's too late, using herself as an example of not getting help. 'If you don't address your guilt, you could end up like me.' she said to him. It wasn't clear whether or not he agreed, but things ended rather positivity between them. Selina told Alfred that it's up to him to make sure that he gets the help and asks for him to update her as soon as possible. Then she left.
