Hawkgirl is a prominent DC Comics superheroine known for her connection to ancient Egypt and her avian abilities derived from Nth metal.

While several characters have held the Hawkgirl mantle, the most recognized is Shayera Hol (or sometimes Shayera Thal) from the planet Thanagar. She is typically depicted as a Thanagarian police officer who arrives on Earth with her partner, Katar Hol, (Hawkman) to capture criminals.

Upon integrating into Earth society, Shayera and Katar adopt the identities of Shayera Sanders and Carter Hall, working as curators at the Midway City Museum. They secretly operate as Hawkgirl and Hawkman, using their Nth metal wings for flight and wielding ancient Thanagarian weapons.

Hawkgirl possesses exceptional strength, durability, and healing abilities due to the Nth metal. She's a skilled warrior and tactician. Her history is often complex, involving reincarnation, alien invasion, and her enduring partnership with Hawkman. Her connection to Hawkman is a key part of her character, frequently depicted as a romantic and combative relationship across lifetimes.
