Buzz buzz Kate Kane s'est réveillée au bas de son téléphone vibrant. Ses yeux s'ouvrirent à un plafond inconnu et à un penthouse inconnu. Il lui a fallu une demi-seconde pour se rappeler comment elle est arrivée là-bas. À côté d'elle sous les draps, une blonde s'est réveillée pour trouver une position confortable alors que Kate se levait aller répondre à son téléphone.
"Katherine, où es-tu? Tu vas être en retard pour le mariage."
"Grande-mère, la cérémonie ne commence pas pendant des heures... bâillement"
"Tu viens de te réveiller? Que faisiez-vous hier soir?"
"Je commençais juste à connaître Natasha..."
"Qui ça?"
"Natascha Yeshevsky, la ballerine Prima pour le Ballet de Moscou." Elle a regardé en arrière pour s'assurer qu'elle ne dérangeait pas le sommeil de la ballerine.
"Oui, eh bien, je suis heureux de voir que vous êtes plus social. Dépêche-toi, il y a des gens avec qui tu dois te mêler. Vous avez quelque chose de bien à porter, n'est-ce pas? »
"Oui grand-mère, à bientôt."
Kate chuchotait le matin à la beauté à moitié endormie avant de retourner chez elle où elle se préparait à passer le reste de la journée à serrer la main et à faire de petits discours avec le plus riche et le plus réussi de Gotham. Il allait être soit très intéressant, très ennuyeux, ou une combinaison des deux. Une chose à propos d'être un justicier masqué: vous prenez l'habitude de s'adapter rapidement. Elle n'a pas mis beaucoup de temps à se préparer. La plupart du temps a été passé à manger le petit déjeuner et prendre une douche.
Wayne Manoir-le jour du mariage
Quand Kate est arrivée au mariage, elle a senti qu'elle était arrivée inutilement tôt, mais elle pouvait le nu si cela rendait sa grand-mère heureuse. Le valet était assez gentil pour garer sa Porsche décapotable rouge, qui ne se distinguait pas tant parmi les limousines et les Lamborghini. Et donc elle est allée saluer ses grands-parents, la fatigue et l'épuisement en quelque sorte essuyés magiquement.
"Katherine Rebecca Kane! Qu'est-ce que vous portez?" Sa grand-mère a dit avec une bouffée.
"C'est un costume grand-mère, tu ne penses pas que j'ai l'air fou?" Kate n'a pas pu s'empêcher de sourire. Le costume qu'elle portait était tout sauf bon marché. Tout jusqu'aux chaussures a été importé ou fait sur mesure. Il a parfaitement serré ses courbes, et a accentué son cadre puissant mais élégant. Le rouge à lèvres rouge a ajouté une belle petite touche qui a souligné ses yeux émeraudes.



"Je pense que tu es très beau, haha" son grand-père riait de tout cœur alors qu'il faisait un câlin à sa petite-fille.
-- Essayez-vous d'attirer l'attention sur vous-même?
"Non, je m'assure de ne pas rester caché."
Après un petit retour en arrière, le grand-père de Kate a pu calmer sa grand-mère. Ce n'était pas qu'elle n'aimait pas les robes, en fait elle en avait beaucoup dans sa garde-robe. Elle était d'humeur smoking aujourd'hui. Et il y avait juste quelque chose de satisfaisant à briser les attentes des gens. Elle continua donc à se mêler aux petits hors-d'œuvre que les serveurs portaient sur des assiettes argentées brillantes. Jusqu'à ce que sa grand-mère l'appelle inévitablement pour la présenter à un autre jeune célibataire riche.
"Katherine chérie, permettez-moi de vous présenter Tim Drake, le PDG de Wayne Enterprises. Tim, voici ma charmante petite-fille Katherine. Ne vous inquiétez pas de son choix audacieux de garde-robe, elle est toujours célibataire que vous voyez, et n'a personne pour apprivoiser son côté rebelle."
Kate a roulé les yeux et s'est battue contre l'envie de rétorquer l'introduction de sa grand-mère. Au lieu de ça, elle l'accompagnait juste assez pour satisfaire sa grand-mère.
"Salut, juste Kate va bien" a-t-elle dit, en étendant une main à Tim. "Et je suis confortablement célibataire, si je puis ajouter."

**Personality and History**
**Twice Born Daughter: **
Jacob and Gabi Kane had twins, Beth and Kate. Although, Kate would claim she's older albeit only by a few seconds. The two were identical in appearance, even their parents having a hard time telling them apart sometimes. But their personalities couldn't be more different. Beth was sweet and shy, while Kate was intense and hyper. The two always stuck together, inseparable since birth. Kate would often act as Beth's protector, since her meekness made her an easy target for bullies. In fact it seemed like Kate was always getting in a fight for one reason or another. But on their 6th birthday Kate failed to protect her sister. Her family was kidnapped by an unknown organization and held hostage. It is believed terrorists were after her father for military secrets. Kate's mother and sister were killed during the incident.
**Dishonorably Discharged: **
When she became of age Kate enlisted in the military like her parents. Unfortunately she never got to serve. She was discharged after it came to light that she had a relationship with another woman. When questioned she didn't deny anything, she refused to lie. She spent the next few months of her life lost in a daze. Her whole life she thought she would enlist and fight for something worth fighting for. Suddenly her clear vision of the future was engulfed in shadows. And it didn't help that her father wasn't so accepting of the situation. It wasn't all bad tho, her "uncles" (her dad's army buddies who helped raise her ever since her mother died) all offered her comfort and acceptance.
**Donning the Uniform: **
During her dark days, Kate spent too much time and money on booze and in clubs. But one night in particular she decided to check out a club located in the dirtier side of Gotham, the side she rarely if ever visited. Before she even reached the club she saw someone getting mugged. The loser wannabe criminal with a knife didn't last long against her fashionable boots. She ended up stopping 3 attacks that night. It opened her eyes to the chaos and fear that has razed Gotham. Using her numerous military contacts, notably her "uncles", she spent the next two years traveling abroad and training. When she returned she was ready for war. She took on the symbol of the bat because she saw it as a uniform, to let people know she was one of the good guys. Kate never asked for permission from Batman, and she didn't care if she had it. Getting funds wasn't difficult since the Kane family owned the half of Gotham that the Waynes didn't.
**The Batwoman: **
Batwoman is the black sheep of the Bat-family, if you can even consider her a member. She is really only a bat in name and mask. Unlike other Bat-family members Batwoman wasn't inspired by Batman. The uniform was chosen so the cops knew not to shoot her and so the people knew they could trust her. Kate isn't in the loop with the rest of the Bat-family either. She doesn't have access to the cave, she doesn't know any of their identities, she's only met a few of them in person. All her gear and equipment are her own, she's a completely independent agent. Batman and her have an understanding. They're on the same side but try to stay out of each others' way, which can be difficult sometimes considering Batwoman's extreme methods. Kate is a soldier, and sometimes in war lives are lost. Her time spent as Batwoman has been hard and lonely. Being estranged from her father, her only immediate family, hasn't been easy. She had no one to rely on but herself, both in crime fighting and in life.

- Catwoman: _meowwwww!_
**Story Arc**
The war on crime has been wearing Kate down. There's only so much she can do alone. For once in her life she is reconsidering her own stubbornness. Maybe she should be nicer to the Bat-family whose name she stole. And maybe she should set Batwoman aside and work on Kate and all her perfect relationships. She never did call that cute waitress she met the other night. Maybe go back to college perhaps? But little does she know there are people out there more interested in Kate than Batwoman.
**Extra**
- Favorite drink is red wine.
- She wears a wig as part of her disguise. Even the World's Greatest Detective fell for it the first time.
