Cat Grant

**Cat Grant** is the current assistant to Perry White at the Daily Planet who has dreams of becoming a gossip columnist and, eventually, running her own media empire. She is a friend of Lois Lane and Clark Kent, having a crush on the latter.

## History

### Early Life

Cat was born to a single mother in Metropolis, never knowing her father. Her mother raised her all on her own and worked hard to keep their family afloat. A cutthroat businesswoman, she rose through the ranks of her job unto the very top, not just breaking the glass ceiling, but absolutely shattering it into tiny pieces. She also put pressure on Cat to be the best at any field she went into, never wanting her daughter to have to depend on someone else.

After attending Metropolis University, Cat got a job at the Daily Planet as the personal assistant of Perry White, seeing it as an opportunity to follow him and learn the ins and outs of running the place, having dreams to one day launch her own media empire. Cat eventually met and befriended Clark Kent, an intern at the Planet whom she developed a crush on.

### Man of Tomorrow

Cat's present for the introduction of Lois Lane to the Daily Planet, and unlike most of the other staff, she doesn't see Lois as a threat. Cat almost admires for how successful she's been out of the gate, whereas Cat is making a slow climb to the top. She sees a kindred spirit in Lois, two strong and independent women trying to make it in a man's world and the two become fast friends.

After talking with Lois, Cat decides to make a move on Clark and ask him on a date. During the date, she tells him about her childhood and her dreams, but she realizes during the date that Clark's heart lays elsewhere. At the end of the night, she tells him she knows he's into Lois and believes that even if Lois doesn't see what Cat sees in Clark already, she will one day.

## Characteristics

### Personality

Cat can be a very sweet and charming individual, being one of the few (if not being the only one) Perry White doesn't yell at. She uses this to her advantage to learn secrets of the trade from Perry. She can also be flirtatious, as seen with Clark, but once she realized his heart wasn't into she stepped back and gave him advice about Lois. Cat also has big dreams and aspirations, hoping to one day become the 'queen of all media'.

### Abilities

Cat is a very driven individual and knows how to get one what she wants. She's extremely intelligent, able to wrap Perry White around her finger, and knows how to use her appearance to her advantage. She uses her position as Perry's assistant to learn all she can about the Daily Planet and about every piece of paper that slides across his desk and every email that is sent to his inbox.

### Appearance

Cat Grant is known for extremely beautiful appearance, something that she's completely aware of (and uses). She has long blonde hair, big brown eyes and a slender figure.
