Catwoman: Moon<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Daughter of the moon, that\u2019s what my name means.  I knew that long before the Sensei told me.  Selene is the moon goddess of ancient mythology.  \u2013ina is \u2018little one\u2019 in Italian, the -a makes it feminine, a daughter, -o would be masculine, a son. <\/p>\n

Only in moonlight can the enchanted swans of Swan Lake resume their true forms.  That\u2019s how my father first saw my mother: on stage as one of the swan maidens bathed in moonlight.  He was as thunderstruck, he said, as Prince Siegfried confronted by Odette.  He got tickets for the next performance, and the next, and the next.  It was seven nights total before he arranged to meet her, through one of the ushers, I think.  When he did, she recognized him at once:  \u201cThe gentleman from the third box that is so fond of the ballet?\u201d  This with a sly smile that let him know she understood: it was really her he came back to see. <\/p>\n

Hm\u2026 I\u2019ve never let Bruce know.  I can sense him that way when he\u2019s watching me, but I\u2019ve never let him know. <\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
