Princess Nyxlygsptlnz, also known as Nyxly, was a former princess in the Fifth Dimension and later a prisoner in the Phantom Zone.
Biography
Early Life
Nyxly was born to the Mad King Brpxz and the younger sister of an unnamed man. At some point, Nyxly also met Mxyzptlk, whom she considered as a "wild card"[1]
Banished to the Phantom Zone
| “ | Not all fathers send you away to save your life. Some do it because they're...paranoid narcissists, threatened by anyone who might take their power. | ” |
— Nyxly on her father[src]

Nyxly was later banished to the Phantom Zone in the early 1700s after attempting to unseat her father with a pair of magic shackles that nullifies her powers after Mxyzptlk's trial against her. She then spent years in the Phantom Zone fighting Phantoms and studied the zone.[1][2]
After the Phantom Zone was fractured, Nyxly started having fake memory flashes of her past.[1]
Meeting Supergirl
Months later, Nyxly witnessed Kara Zor-El and Zor-El's capture by Scar. She then lied about the Phantoms approaching and how they fought the White Martians, scaring Scar's group to flee. She then took Kara to her cave and told her about how the bandits are going to sacrifice Zor-El to a creature in Shadow Lake. Kara then revealed her story with Nyxly.[1]
Later, Kara attempted to go to save her father alone. However, her leg injury stopped her and Nyxly told her about her own story, and how her brother was killed by his father, resulting in her banishment. They then decided to go to rescue together.[1]

When Kara was asleep and resting, Nyxly repeated Kara's encouragement in her head and broke the "shackles" with her orb, allowing her powers to return. She then restarted the fire and healed Kara's leg injury. Soon, they teleported to the Shadow Lake and sent the bandits to a distant location, saving Zor from the "sacrifice".[1]
