Newcomer Ashley Scott lands her first series regular role on The WB’s new action-adventure series "Birds of Prey." Scott plays Helena Kyle (and her alter-ego, Huntress), the beautiful daughter of Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle, better known as Batman and Catwoman.
Born in Metairie, La., and raised in Charleston, S.C., Scott’s first taste of the spotlight was as a child model. By the time she was a teenager, Scott had moved to New York and was modeling internationally, gracing the runways at fashion shows in Miami, Paris and London.
Scott currently resides in Los Angeles with her two pet Australian tree frogs, Azul and Chunk. When not working, she enjoys horseback riding, cooking and hanging out with her friends.
Character: Helena Kyle / Huntress
Helena Kyle is the daughter of two legends -- Gotham’s mightiest hero and the majesty of its criminal underworld. Together, Bruce Wayne and Selena Kyle shared a forbidden love, and an even darker secret. After watching her mother gunned down by the Joker’s men and the subsequent abandonment by her father, Helena was taken in by Barbara Gordon. She began to train under Barbara to help fight crime, combining her father’s strength and her mother’s feralness to kick ass.

Although she is just 17 years old, Rachel Skarsten is already an accomplished actress, musician and athlete. Skarsten stars as Dinah, a beautiful but troubled teenage runaway who comes to New Gotham in the new action-adventure series "Birds of Prey."
Born and raised in Toronto, Ont., Skarsten is of Norwegian descent and is fluent in Norwegian. She is an avid dancer and studied ballet with Toronto’s Royal Academy of Dance where she performed in productions of such classic ballets as "Peter Pan" and "Romeo and Juliet."

She still plays the cello almost every day and is also a pianist and a singer.
A natural athlete who loves to ski, skate, swim and ride horses, Skarsten also plays goalie for a hockey team that won the Toronto City championships. When she has free time, Skarsten enjoys sketching, painting and hanging out with her friends.

From the time she was young, Dinah Lance has had the trademark nightmares that haunted her mother, though the elder Lance denies this past. One fateful night, Dinah had a dream of two women injured, unaware that she had psychically witnessed the shooting of Barbara Gordon and the stabbing of Selena Kyle. Years later, she is drawn to New Gotham, running from the family who cannot accept her and seeking the women she knows hold the keys to her future.

Name: Dina Meyer
Hometown: Queens, New York
Birthdate: December 22, 1968
|
Already a favorite among science-fiction fans, Dina Meyer comes to The WB as Barbara Gordon and her alter-ego, Oracle, in the new action-adventure series "Birds of Prey."
Born and raised in Queens, N.Y., Meyer studied dance throughout her childhood and loved performing on stage in dance recitals. She knew she wanted to act from an early age and was even accepted into New York’s High School of Performing Arts, but her parents convinced her to follow a more traditional academic path. She majored in Business Administration and minored in French at Long Island University and attended the Sorbonne in Paris. After graduation, however, she decided to pursue her acting again and studied under Ron Stetson.
Meyer currently resides in Santa Monica. A fitness enthusiast, she enjoys rollerblading, snowboarding and doing Pilates.
Character: Barbara Gordon / Oracle
For years, Barbara Gordon fought crime in a cape and mask as Batgirl, sidekick to Gotham City’s caped crusader. After a bullet from the Joker’s gun left her paralyzed, she now fights from behind a computer desk, having focused on becoming a master of cybernetics and weaponry. The technological guru, now self-dubbed ‘Oracle’, has pushed even harder than before for motivation to be a heroine in the dark city, and has taken up residence in the Clocktower to help train her young protogees, Helena Kyle and Dinah Lance.
