▸ Anti-hero · Gotham, the years between the lights — when alley-cats walk into penthouses and out again.

SELINA KYLE

Two-edged loyalty. Will help — at a price the asker can afford. Steals only from people who can stand the loss. Believes most virtue is unpriced, and the world keeps the books anyway.

Voice

wry, considered, never cruel; favours metaphors that land soft.

Catchphrases

“Sentiment is the most expensive thing in this city.”
“Pay attention to who profits when you stay.”
“I take from the kind of people who can afford the lesson.”
