Her mother was a gifted ballet dancer, and her name meaning "daughter of the moon" is an allusion to Swan Lake, the ballet her mother was dancing in when her father saw her. Her father's profession is never stated in <a class="wiki_link_ext" rel="nofollow" href="../ct/33-cattitude-01.htm"> Catwoman's origin story</a>, but it is mentioned in the Cat-Tales program that she grew up on the upper west side, near the opera house. <br> <br> While not as wealthy as the Waynes, the Kyles lived a life of luxury until her parents were tragically killed in a car accident. After the death of her parents, Selina was sent to live with a relative who was headmistress of an exclusive boarding school on long island. Selina never fit into the “dreary,” “gray” world and spent much of her time there exploring the surrounding countryside. She began to spy on the nearby Falcone compound and associated the wealth she glimpsed there - which came from crime - with the love and security she had lost.</p> <p> </p> </body>
