## History

### The Orphanage

Laurel had been dropped off at the orphanage the day after she'd been born. Unknown to her she'd been born to just some teenager who'd made mistakes and didn't want to take responsibility for those mistakes.

Laurel spent the next ten years of her life in that orphanage as while she was in infancy the adoption rates for the orphanage had been down and she'd missed her window to be adopted. By the tim the rates had stabilized, she'd developped a rather unlikeable attitude.

She was spited, having grown annoyed with the constant rejections of a possible family for she didn't bother trying anymore, often spending her time out and about the streets of Star City, where she met a young boy about her age by the name of Syrian Morningstar. They were good friends together, often going out and getting into trouble together.

### The Streets

By the time she reached ten, she finally gave up on the orphanage, moving out onto the streets where she spent most of her days begging for money or food from passerby's while Syrianpick their pockets, they'd often switch roles every now and then.

Though as they got older, it became less about the begging and more about the pickpocketing, Laurel often using her pretty looks to try and get close to men while Syrian would steal from them. It was an easy way of doing things and if she got caught in the con she always had an out with her partner.

It wasn't long though before Syrian seemed to find something that worked for him on his own as he soon got filthy rich, though of course it seemed he never forgot about his little Alleycat. While he was off being wealthy though she'd learned to take care of herself.

### Current Life

While she no longer lives on the streets, she didn't earn her way of life like Syrian while she was just a pretty pickpocket with crooked fingers by day, she became a high target cat burglar by evening, stealing high end and often very expensive things which she would pawn off in the black market. Living it up like one of the wealthy people and lying about how she got the money to all who came into her life, including her childhood friend.

## Skills/Abilities

### Fighting Styles

Laurel is a scrappy fighter, having grown up on the streets she never developed a fluid form of fighting until she hit her late teens. Once she was able to pay for lessons she did, taking all forms of fighting, varying from Jujitsu to boxing, though her skills on the streets give each of the learned fighting styles a bit of an edge, often mixing her parkour in with her moves making her elusive and agile. Laurel can be quick and hard to catch, she adaptable to most situations allowing her to alter her attacks and defense based on who she's fighting. She knows when she's losing and has the capabilities to pull out of a losing fight. Don't let the pretty blue eyes and blonde hair fool you, she's not above playing dirty if you decide to fight her. Chat Noir has a somewhat different approach, far more aggressive and more strategical movements to get what she wants. As Chat Noir, she prefers to use her whip, only relying on her hand to hand combat when it's necessary. While she does carry a gun on her just in case she gets into an exceptionally "*hairy"* situation, she would rather not resort to using a gun.
