motherwarnedme[Character Name] Selina Kyle
[Canon] The Dark Knight Rises
[Point Taken from Canon] Post Bane breaking Batman's back, around when she is running from him (or trying to).
[Age] 25-29ish
[Gender] Female
[Sexual Orientation] Mostly Hetero.
[Eye Color] Brown
[Hair Color] Brown (medium length)
[Height] 5'8"
[Other] Normal looking girl.
[Clothing] Mostly dark colors, and she has a sophisticated sense of style. Wouldn't be caught dead in hipster clothes.
[Background]
Only info on how she grew up is relative in this link. Any comic storylines (such as losing her heart, etc.) have no relevance.
[Personality]
To put it quite simply, Selina Kyle is a femme fetale, and also an anti-heroine. She is a thief with morals. Essentially, she is a thief with a conscious. She detests the rich because they have left nothing for people like herself. She is poor and grew up on the streets of Gotham. She is an enigma, a wily and witty con artist as well as a high society grifter. While she generally doesn’t kill people, you can bet that if someone is shooting at her, she’ll shoot right back.
Selina is a tough girl. It’s not an act; she actually can back up that attitude. She has a hard edge to herself, most likely due to the fact that her parents died when she was young and she grew up on the streets of Gotham. She received no handouts and refused to stay in an orphanage. This has helped her to be smart about her decisions. She holds no sympathy for the wealthy, and almost detests all of them except for Bruce Wayne. Even though Bruce is wealthy, she can see that he is a good man that tries his best to help the less fortunate as Bruce Wayne and Batman.
A weakness that Selina has is that she lacks sincerity. Due to how she grew up, she isn’t open or trusting of anyone. Initially her only concern is for herself and those like her (anyone that is growing up on the streets like she did). She is independent and doesn’t have to rely on others to help her out. While she isn’t evil or considered a villain, she has a very ambiguous moral code. Her need to help those who have similar situations like when she was growing up can sometimes lead to dangerous situations for herself.
What Selina has managed to do since she was a child is survive. She will do anything to get ahead. She grew up on the streets and did what she had to do to make sure that she (and sometimes, others like herself) is able to take care of herself. She would steal and sometimes be a prostitute to get what she needed to survive. As she says in the film, she’s adaptable. She is also very independent and headstrong. After Bane breaks Batman’s back, she knows that she is a loose end that may need to be handled. She doesn’t go to anyone for help, but in stead gets her ass out of there and stay off the radar.
Her whole goal in the movie is to do what she can to earn that fresh start. She wants her record clean. That shows that she has made decisions in the past that she regrets. She wants to make a name for herself but not just as a con artist or a thief. Deep down, she probably wishes she could be someone else besides a thief. When she sees that her dream of having a fresh start is not attainable, that is the one point where we see that she is wounded. Her spirits are crushed and it hindered her usual wit and her ability of staying ahead by her desperation to try and obtain the thing she wanted most.
She doesn’t let her weaknesses show; instead she keeps a tough façade. She can slip in and out of personalities quite easily. She can play a helpless damsel in distress, or an educated socialite. She is witty and has sexy appeal and knows how to use her looks to get what she wants (usually for the purpose of stealing).
She doesn’t have a heart of gold, and isn’t exactly gentle with others (even children) but she does feel guilt for some of her actions, like when she takes Batman/Bruce to Bane and Bane breaks his back.
[Specialties/Abilities]
Abilities & Equipment.
[Affection]
She is a flirtatious character, usually when she has an hidden motive. She uses any advances as a distraction for her real objective. She won't shy away from any contact with others. Unless it's genuine comforting in which she'd be hesitant/anxious because she is not used to that type of emotion.
[Fighting]
She can fight. In stilettos. Enough said. She is pretty BAMF.
[Other Permissions]
Telepaths could probably pick up on her thoughts, it's not like she's had practice on trying to block them.
[Other Facts]
She is a thief so uhhh...may be stealing from you. I'd ask permission before I do it though so just a heads up :3
