Biography

Relationship With Nite Owl

Twilight Lady and Nite Owl II did have a relationship both in and out of costume, something which Hollis Mason was against as Nite Owl II being involved with her would ruin the image for the children. She later helps Rorschach and Nite Owl find out who has been kidnapping the working girls which later turned out to be the minister. Despite Rorschach obvious dislike for her, he saves her from the minister and offers his hand to pull her up. She later breaks up with Dreiberg after this incident as she fears that she will be vulnerable if she falls in love. Despite Dreiberg's pleas she still leaves him, hoping he will find someone better.

Legacy

Laurie Juspeczyk, while staying with Dan Dreiberg, found Twilight Lady's photograph in his cabinet. Dreiberg felt uneasy and misremembered her name as "Dusk Woman or something" and commented that she was a sick woman.

That night, he saw her in a symbolic dream, indicating that he was also attracted to her. She waited for him in a desert and he ran towards her in agony. They embraced and undressed, and she ripped Dreiberg's skin to uncover the Nite Owl II underneath. Then he did the same to her, and uncovered Silk Spectre II. The two kissed and perished in a nuclear explosion.
