Natalia Knight (born 1992 or 1993)[1], also known as Nocturna, is a criminal in Gotham City, who kills her victims by draining their blood and letting them bleed to death.
Biography
Early life
In 1992 or 1993, Natalia Knight was born with a unique type of porphyria, which means she can't be exposed to sunlight and her kidneys have trouble cleaning her blood. She was adopted by Charles Knight.[1]
Birth of Nocturna
After her adoptive father, the man who would often provide Natalia supplies of fresh blood, died of a heart attack, Natalia needed fresh blood because of her disease and started to kill people by seducing them, draining their blood and then leaving them for dead. After she killed two club-goers in Gotham City, she was dubbed by the media as "Nocturna".[1]
Fighting Batwoman
When Nocturna tried to kill another person, she was confronted by Batwoman. Whom she got into a fight with. Nocturna bit her in the neck, injecting ketamine in her blood to subdue her. She then hung Batwoman up, but before she could drain her blood, she had to flee from Crows Security.[1]
When she saw Alice outside of the Hold Up, she followed her to her hideout were she subdued her. After tying Alice up, she was seduced by Alice to attack Mary Hamilton instead of draining her. She wanted the blood from the desert rose-cure Alice gave to Mary. Nocturna attacked Mary and took her to the Gotham Cathedral Church. When Batwoman came here to free Mary, Nocturna pinned her down but was scared away by Alice who punched her in the face. As she tried to run away, she was confronted by Batwoman again, who beat her by recreating sunlight and cuffing her to the cathedral. She was then picked up by the Crows and brought to Arkham.[1]
