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
Natalia was born in 1992 or 1993 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 convinced 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 there to free Mary, Nocturna engaged her in combat with a candle holder. After a short struggle, Natalia pinned her down and was about to bite her but was knocked away by Alice who kicked her in the face. As she tried to run away, she was confronted by Batwoman again. Batwoman confronted her about her killings to which Natalia said she did not deserve to die and justified her deeds by telling her victims partied their lives away while she suffered. Nocturna fought Batwoman again with a wooden shelf but Batwoman beat her by recreating sunlight with blacklight and burning her face before cuffing her to the cathedral. She was then picked up by the Crows and brought to Arkham.[1]
Personality
Suffering from terrible health problems her entire life Natalia was fostered by her adoptive father her entire life. After he died she needed fresh blood in order to combat her disease. She began to seduce partygoers for fresh blood. She justified her killings by stating that she suffered health problems while they were healthy but choose to ruin their bodies with booze and drugs. Natalia seemed to take some joy out of her killings as she mocked a captured Batwoman repeatedly while defeating her and as she was about to drain her.
Abilities
- Skilled at deception: As a means of getting close enough to drug and kill them, Natalia was able to charm and seduce her victims while meeting them at night clubs.
- Medical knowledge: Natalia possesses some medical knowledge as she was able to properly drain her victims of their blood and likely knew how to perform a blood transfusion on herself.
- Master hand-to-hand combatant: Natalia is a highly skilled hand-to-hand combatant; as she was able to go head-on against Kate Kane (under the persona of Batwoman) a master hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist in her own right.[1] Natalia bested her in their first two altercations and only lost the third as Batwoman burned her with blacklight. She was shown to be highly skilled in creating moments to get her teeth in Batwoman despite her armor.
- Master stick-fighter: Natalia was shown to be highly skilled with the use of a tonfa and used a candle holder and a wooden shelf as improvised weapons.
- Stealth: Natalia was able to sneak up on her victims without them being aware. She was also able to surprise Alice in her own hideout despite the latter's sharp senses and situational awareness.
Weaknesses
- Porphyria: Natalia is born with a unique type of this disease, which makes her exhibit similar characteristics with a vampire.[1]
- Sunlight: Because of Natalia's disease, her skin is extremely sensitive to sunlight, just like a vampire, burning it. This can also be artificial sunlight as seen when Batwoman used technology to recreate it.[1]
- Blood hunger: Because of Natalia's disease, her kidneys have trouble cleaning her blood, giving her a need for fresh blood. Without fresh blood, she'd most likely die.[1]
Equipment
- Nocturna costume: While on the prowl Natalia wore a dark veil that covered her face, hiding her identity.
- Ketamine teeth: Natalia used special teeth allowing her to inject ketamine into her victims which paralyzed them and rendered them helpless. She could do this while kissing them during seduction as well as blindsiding them with a suprise attack and even during fights if she got close enough to grapple them.
- Tonfa: During her first fight against Batwoman she used a tonfa with great expertise.
