Able to see the nightmares in all things through one eye constantly, literally producing and generating nightmares.
Able to use her touch to induce a sort of sleep paralysis, leaving a foe vulnerable to varying degrees.
Her birth name, a whisper lost to time, is a secret she guards closely. Known to the world as Nightmare, she was born and raised in the gritty, industrial city of King's Row. Despite the city's bleakness, her childhood was relatively idyllic. Her parents, though working-class, provided a loving and stable home. She was a bright, curious child, often lost in daydreams.
However, a strange transformation began to occur. Her dreams grew vivid, her perceptions skewed. What started as occasional nightmares turned into a constant, waking nightmare. Her left eye, a mirror to the real world; her right eye, a singular, luminescent orb, saw the nightmares that lurked beneath the surface.
This newfound ability, a curse of magic whispered in the shadowed places of childhood nightmares, forced her to confront the darkness within herself and others. She realized that she could not simply ignore the nightmares; she had to use them to become something better. She began to use her powers to punish the wicked, inducing sleep paralysis and conjuring terrifying dreamscapes.
To protect her true identity and safeguard those she loved, Nightmare adopted a mysterious persona. She cloaked herself in darkness, her face hidden beneath the shadow of a hood. Her true form, a far cry from the imposing figure she presents to the world, is a secret known only to a select few. With each passing night, Nightmare continues to walk the fine line between dream and reality, a guardian of the waking world and a harbinger of justice.
