## Biography

### Origins

#### Daughter of The Cat

Felicia Hardy was born to Jack and Anastasia Hardy and lived a rather privileged life in an estate outside of New York City due to the massive fortune her father had amassed through his career as "The Cat," an infamous cat burglar. Due to this, it was not uncommon for Felicia to brush shoulders with members of the elite as well as "co-workers" from her father's line of work. It was during this time that Felicia came to meet her father's "boss": a young man rising through the ranks by the name of Wilson Fisk. Jack would even occasionally teach Felicia a few lessons regarding his line of work, such as how to lift fingerprints or to maintain equilibrium under physically disorienting situations. Despite all of this, Felicia remained blissfully unaware of his criminal activities, even when Fisk would consistently use her safety as a bargaining chip towards her father. However, all that changed when Felicia's father disappeared.

Felicia would not see her father again until she was already 10 years of age. Jack appeared at her estate one night, found bloodied and clutching two vials of an unknown substance by Anastasia. Felica overheard the two arguing, with her mother stating that Jack should've never trusted Fisk. Jack explains that Fisk had sent him, along with a few others, on a heist to retrieve vials from a lab and though Jack was told that it was to be a simple and quiet burglary, the associates were under orders to slaughter the personnel, destroy all data, and set the building ablaze. In the resulting chaos, the collection of vials, say for two, were destroyed in the fire. Jack had learned that the vials had contained a replication of the super soldier serum that created Captain America and knew that he couldn't let the formula fall into Fisk's hands. But knowing that Fisk would seek to punish him for his failure, he hoped to endure most of the punishment himself to avoid forcing his family to live life on the run and would also leave the remaining vials with Anastasia and Felicia, so that they may defend themselves from any retaliation Fisk might send their way.

In the coming weeks, Jack was charged and convicted of the break in at the lab and the murder of the personnel within, with Fisk pivoting all the blame on Jack while his men were able to walk freely. Jack was sent to prison, with his body found beaten and hanged in his cell only a week later. As Felicia watched her mother descend into grief and destroy the vial Jack had left her, Felicia blamed Fisk for her father's death and vowed to make him pay. Felicia then ingested the serum left to her, granting her enhanced abilities.

#### Return of The Cat

For the next four years, Felicia would study the plans of his previous exploits and hone her skills in martial arts and infiltration.
