Character Name: Selina Kyle aka Catwoman Character Series: DC Universe, specifically taking her from the Gotham City Sirens series Character Age: Somewhereeee in her thirties Background:Everything you ever wanted to know and then some.
Personality:Selina spent her childhood in squalor and poverty, and from there built herself into a woman who can do whatever she wants whenever she wants, answers to no one and is held back by nothing. She will never be caught or controlled, and certainly not ever dependent on or prohibited from doing something. When she sets her sights on something she wants, it's as good as hers.
Her need for freedom coincides with the fact that she trusts very little and very few, and in turn is often not to be trusted herself. Being reliant on someone else is seen as a weakness to her, as it makes her less free and more vunerable.. She has a bit of a safe zone with some friends who cannot hurt her and whom she can thus trust to an atypical extent. But this may change if Selina ever feels that might get some sort of hold on her, and she's not above hurting others just to show she shouldn't be trusted - since the trust of another is a denial of her freedom.
Catwoman is also very private, hard to read and unpredictable, and it's difficult for even close friends to tell what's on her mind. She's mysterious and has an aloofness when it comes to her privacy. Privacy is something she was denied a lot as a kid, and is invaluable to protect both her freedom and her safety. For the most part, Selina has spent her life as a loner. She doesn't crave company and functions well living alone, though can make exceptions for friendships within certain limits and on her own terms.
When pushed - and it may not take that much - Selina can be remarkably devious, manipulative and brutal. Her plans are crafty and cunning, and employ the strengths and weaknesses of her opponents against them. They rely on careful casing, preparation and anticipation, since she's originally a thief specializing in high-ticket items -- and, sometimes, on frantic but generally graceful improvisation when things go thoroughly off-script.
Selina's goals for the East Side are focused around, figuratively speaking, establishing herself as a one woman mob. She understands better than anyone that crime and exploitation will not go away, but establishing her authority as a 'clean' kingpin is the best way to keep the area working while doing damage control. And knowing that she's feared, respected and seen as a positive influence is something that she can appreciate. Her devotion to the East End can sometimes lead to trouble, as she is on her own and can only do so much as one woman.
The vast majority of Selina's interactions with men are deceitful, as she relies on her beauty and her mighty charm and wit to manipulate them and get what she actually wants - material things like money or jewels. She has mixed feelings on the subject of love, which blends her love of freedom into her fear of attachment. While she has plenty of fly by night relations, actual love is rare, and more than that, ill-fated. As with most things, Selina wants the very best when it comes to men, but relationships are much more complicated than diamonds and rare cat statues.
