# general .

  OO   ...... this is an original rewrite of Selina β€˜Catwoman’ kyle based off of The Batman 2022 adaptation, the arkhamverse, batman year one, DCAU and various media with tidbits of information from her comic wikis along with my personal headcanons.  OO   ...... This portrayal is non-canon compliant and will not be following any timelines in the comics. though will make heavy references to the 2022 movie.  OO   ...... this is a multiversal compatible variation of Catwoman and on all occasions will be exploring beyond its franchise.  OO   ...... Not exclusively associated with the DC Verse.  OO   ...... plot focused / neo noir centric.  OO   ...... renders & graphics are mine unless stated otherwise. you are prohibited from reusing and copying my original pieces in tweets, edits or your profile. media used if not personally made will be credited rightfully & accordingly. if wished to be taken down please DM me and I will delete / replace it with my own work immediately.  OO   ...... the materials I use are official β€” unofficial / fan illustrations and photos I’ve generated myself. some gifs are made by me. I sculpted my model of Selina using Mirka Andolfo’s art in Catwoman #14 (2018) as inspiration.  OO   ...... I write on my own time, and will only write when I wish to or am available to. length depends on fluctuating muse or how invested I am in the thread. dropping interactions with me due to my inactivity will not be faulted for. I am easily exhausted and most often busy, so do expect that I disappear without a word.  OO   ...... catwoman in this portrayal will be quite demented, contradictory to her more level headed qualities inspired by michelle pfeiffer's performance. she likes to indulge in someone's agony, but not just anyone's. ultimately, she's not devoid of integrity. selina only steals and hurts wealthy individuals or criminals β€” people who in her eyes deserve it. bear in mind the capacities of savagery she may carry out.  OO   ...... her morals aren't solid, selina is capable of changing her mind on a whim, which means she can help you or drop you at any time she wishes to.

# interaction .

I improvise a lot in roleplay to create a natural flow for conversations and dynamic. if whatever I mention while in writing clashes with your headcanons or generally just something that you do not like, do not be afraid to approach and discuss the matter with me in private.  OO   ...... no dm roleplays, let’s write on tl only please.  OO   ...... no metagaming or godmodding.  OO   ...... no shipping with minors ( faceclaims, muses or muns ). minors DO NOT INTERACT. I am a grown adult, so let’s set boundaries.  OO   ...... not interested in terms of writing smut for a ship with no build up. see here for more info.  OO   ...... muse is incredibly flirtatious and will make numerous suggestive innuendos but that is not an open invitation for lewd.  OO   ...... has no established relationship with the batman yet !  OO   ...... this catwoman is prone to being standoffish, insulting and just plainly rude. she's distrustful and her actions often cross the line of being completely heinous. essentially ; she will be cruel and will unapologetically use any advantage she can get.

personality*

ornery, scandalous and evil.

Selina Kyle is an adrenaline junkie, finding thrill in theft, speed and the chase, but what she finds more tasteful are the reaction of those she’d stolen from and the pain she inflicts upon them. She’s got a streak for being sadistic and cruel according to those who had stood to oppose her ventures.Although with a penchant for shedding blood and painting bruises, Selina is a flirtatious, sweet and playful woman while being morally ambiguous, thriving in the shadows of Gotham working only by her personal agenda. In her upbringing, she stored a lot of desires in her heart coming from a place with nothing and no one to depend on that would then feed into her greed. Her abilities to adopt multiple identities and evade capture by virtue of her tenacious acrobatics are factors quintessential to the perfect cat burglar she had epitomized, Selina has little to no qualms lying and manipulating people to reap benefits for her self interests.Her guarded nature comes from an experience that had forced her to apply doubt towards everything. Underneath the attitude full of bite and spite however, is a protective empathetic soul more at home in her solitude within the dark among the city strays.

β€’ she's emotionally intelligent, as a former sex worker selina knows how to study someone's pysche to come up what approach to make alongside how to keep them engaged.β€’ when selina left salem brights and had joined the alleytown kids, MAMA FORTUNA never fed them. one time, selina was so hungry she had unknowingly eaten her finger nails off.β€’ selina and maggie kyle are sisters with two different fathers, selina's older than maggie by only a year. they're both distinguishable by their heights and appearances, accentuating who's the eldest and youngest between them, maggie is relatively smaller and has a more brighter red hair and brown eyes whereas selina has black hair and green eyes.β€’ she learned how to write cursive from forging signatures for an inordinate length of time.β€’ has a major sweet tooth because she never got to enjoy any candies as a child. on that account, she always carries lollipops in a secret pocket.β€’ the pseudo identity she assumes in a high societal gathering is mostly generally known to make big donations to animal wildlife and orphanages, she uses her status to raise funds for these projects by playing niceties with the rich in events. half of the wealth she steals goes straight to donations under anonymous accounts.β€’ during her seniors, selina actually would sneak back to gotham to participate in illegal street bike racing using a bike she'd stolen back in metropolis and had used the alias AGRA to compete. she would make bets with her competitors that if she wins she’ll have their vehicles instead of cash. since then, selina has collected 7 bikes she cached in an abandoned warehouse in east end, a few of the bikes were worn down so selina wrenched apart the salvageable pieces and put together a modified BMW R nineT.β€’ as an inexperienced engineer, selina made an error on her beloved customized motorbike assembled from scratch using segments of 7 alternate bikes. The vehicle would make a haunting screech on every occasion she would go past 140. thus later on, this earned the name BANSHEE.

main

the batman

the main au used for interacting with everyone. this is influenced by matt reeves' story but with two characters altered as one, backstory completely overhauled and the secondary plot between selina and falcone changed. selina replaces a portion of dex starling's role in the original novel while also possessing some of her personality.in present time of the au catwoman sidelines as a private investigator, often hired under the table by gcpd commissioner, james gordon to gather intel that only a person of her connections and skill set is able to acquire. she lays out some ground rules for him, that upon being employed, she will only work alongside them if they won't arrest her while they are her clients, they don't use her services as a ploy to ambush her, don't try to expose her real identity and lastly she'll agree to cooperate and comply as long as they're paying her.6 years before this and the advent of the batman, 24 year old selina created a lasting impression on the criminal underworld as a cunning thief having stolen from many syndicate leaders and important figures. selina builds and preserves this reputation as discreetly as she can without drawing too much attention to her personal life, her efforts would prove to be convenient later in her career as she uses it to obtain things like a blueprint for a museum robbery she's planning or forge licenses and procure equipment.some time ago selina's target was hosting a party during one of her heists when she unintentionally leaned on a weak skyscraper and fell from the ceiling, revealing her appearance to everyone in attendance. she was clad in all-black, wearing a wool mask with two pointed ends resembling ears, dragging a bike chain lock with taped sections behind her appearing like a tail, she let them ogle for a bit before unleashing hell as the guards arrived armed with guns. since then, word spread fast that the hellcat who clawed 'cooky' kassy's security has come to be known as CATWOMAN by the locals.shortly after another rogue of gotham has been identified, catseye private investigations is then founded. she uses her links to access personal information down to the very bone, though among other things, she'll go just about to any length to further her research. despite being classified as a fugitive, catwoman is sought after by the public for her investigatory work by those desperate enough to associate with a criminal. it serves to highlight how unreliable the authority has become that some gothamites would willingly reach out to a felon for help instead.
