Personality: Trisha is a complicated woman who has had her previous personality overwhelmed by her addiction to fear.
Once an empathic young woman who saw herself as a champion of the truth she was transformed after exposure to two types of fear toxin which had been altered by age an poor storage conditions into something not even their creator Dr. Crane would have recognized. As a result of her exposure and survival Trisha became a creature who feeds on the fears of others and has little regard for her victims viewing them with the same sympathy as a cat does a mouse.
Some who've seen her in the company of the Phantom believe she experiences love for the madman and those people would be wrong for Nightmare sees Phantom as interesting because he shows no fear of her or anything. Should the Phantom's self control ever slip she will feed off of him with the same lack of remorse she feels for anyone else. .
Background: Trisha Beavers was once a respected journalist who's lack of fear and ability to get her story made her the most watched News woman of Second City.
Some would think her troubles all began hen she was kidnapped by the Phantom, humiliated, tortured and held prisoner for several days but they would be wrong.
Trisha had been a fear junkie since she was a little girl performing stunts that awed her friends and terrorized her parents .
It was Her need to experience fear that led her to enter the world of investigative reporting and that same need that made her the best.
It happened that during the Phantom's reign of terror that an independent journalist found and brought to her office books and materials once used by Dr. Crane as the villain Scarecrow. An accident happened and her office was flooded with fear toxin that killed the independent journalist by heart attack but awoke something in Trisha that had lay dormant her entire life and on that day she became Nightmare.
Other: In her form as Trisha Nightmare must touch a victim to cause them fear or feed of the same and all her enhancements are none active
