Nightwing is a black she-cat.

In Dawn, Nightwing is a ShadowClan warrior during the time that Twolegs are destroying the forest. She, along with her Clanmates and the other Clans, depart for their new territories, following the path that Brambleclaw and his group took.

During their journey to the mountains, one of her Clanmates, Smokepaw, slips while they are traveling along a narrow precipice. The ShadowClan deputy, Russetfur, tries to grab him before he falls, but she misses, and he plummets to his death. Nightwing is distraught, and does not want to leave the place where he fell. Blackstar, trying to comfort her, says that they will never forget Smokepaw, but they needed to keep moving. Blackstar mews that they could not risk losing more lives to go look for Smokepaw or his body, and there was no way that he could have survived the fall.

Nightwing was described as a black she-cat with green eyes, and as an apprentice, Nightpaw was mentored by Russetfur. Nightwing and Cedarheart had two sons, Smokepaw and Talonpaw. After Smokepaw's death, she joined Mudclaw's rebellion on the side of Mudclaw, but was killed in battle in Starlight when she fell into ThunderClan's camp.
