Description
Background

Knightmare had a tumultuous past that shaped her into the powerful and enigmatic figure she is today. Born into a family of influential politicians, Evelyn was expected to follow a path of privilege and conformity. However, a series of traumatic events altered the trajectory of her life, leading her down a darker path. As a teenager, Natasha developed a fascination with the power of dreams and illusions. She studied psychology, delving into the intricacies of the human mind, and experimented with lucid dreaming and hypnosis. Eventually, she discovered she had an extraordinary ability to manipulate and create illusions and dreams, allowing her to bend reality and influence the perceptions of those around her. But tragedy struck when her family's corruption came to light. Confronted with their deceit and betrayal, Natasha's world crumbled, leaving her broken and disillusioned. Feeling abandoned by society, she embraced her powers, vowing to use them to expose and dismantle the corrupt systems that had ruined her life.

Powers

Illusion Manipulation: Knightmare possesses the ability to create and manipulate illusions, weaving intricate and convincing hallucinations that can deceive all five senses. She can make herself or others appear invisible, alter the perception of time and space, and create illusions so vivid and realistic that they become almost indistinguishable from reality. Her illusions can be intense enough to shape a person's mentality, to the point of a target going into cardiac arrest or even contemplating suicide.

Dream Manipulation: Knightmare can enter and manipulate the dreams of others. She can guide the course of dreams, shape their content, and influence the emotions and experiences within the dream world. Her mastery over dreams allows her to subtly influence the waking lives of those she targets, planting suggestions or manipulating their subconscious. Like her illusions, her manipulations are powerful enough that the dreamer would not be able to detect Knightmare's presence, and their dreams can have both short-term and long-lasting effects.

Weaknesses

Mental Resilience: Knightmare's powers heavily rely on her target's susceptibility to illusions and their state of mind. If someone possesses strong mental resilience, is aware of her abilities, or has undergone rigorous mental conditioning, they may be more resistant to her illusions and thus able to see through them.

Detection: Knightmare's illusions are useless against superhuman detection. It is also notable that if her victim is aware of her presence, it is possible to overcome her illusions and manipulations.

Psychic Protection: People with psychic shields or psychic immunity are highly resistant or impervious to her dream manipulation.

Self-Doubt: Knightmare's own self-doubt and internal conflicts can hinder her abilities. If she is in a vulnerable mental state or second-guessing herself, it can weaken the potency and control of her illusions, making them easier to break free from or see through.

Vulnerability to Psychic Shields: Psychic individuals with strong psychic shields or protective barriers can significantly impede Knightmare's illusion and dream manipulation abilities. These shields can block or neutralize her influence over the mind, forcing her to rely on alternative strategies or direct confrontation.

Notes

She and Stealthshift used to date, but his interests in superhero-related activity and his status as an active vigilante would usually cause a rift between them.
