Biography
Origin
Holly Robinson
She was 13 years old at the time when she was out on the streets and approached by a cop who was attempting to sexually abuse her. Holly was saved by Selina Kyle who was 4 years older than her and who punched the cop allowing the two to flee the scene. The encounter made her realise for the first time that she could fight back rather than just accept her circumstances. Selina came to take Holly under her ring and show her how to survive on the cruel streets. (Catwoman Secret Files and Origins v1 #1)
Holly was with Selina as the two began to work under an abusive pimp named Stan in the East End. (Catwoman v1 #1)
Catwoman
Post-Flashpoint
Following the Flashpoint, a new version of reality was created with a different history of events. She was an orphan that grew up in the same orphanage as Selina Kyle with the two becoming friends. Kyle saw anger in Holly and sought to get her to control her rage by training her. Around five yeas ago, she fled from Wayne House and was picked up in the East End four years ago. She was later handed over to the GCS and disappeared from files into sealed records where she took the name of Catherine Ann Turley. After their orphanage was attacked by terrorists, an angry Holly responded by using the skills taught to her by Selina to murder the perpetrators. However, she became horrified at her actions and turned to Catwoman who knew that her friend would get the death penalty for her actions. As a result, she took the blame and took responsibility for the deaths leading to her getting the sentence instead. Batman tracked Holly Robinson down as he was searching for the missing Catwoman but she slashed him with a blade and escaped with her going on a flight to Kahndaq. (Batman v3 #15) She later sought shelter with Talia al Ghul with Catwoman and Batman seeking her out as Selina intended to marry the Dark Knight but wanted to meet with Holly one more time. (Batman v3 #35)
