... ...real friends stick around.” - —Midnite, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Midnite is a member of Cursa's army of Spark Hunters and a boss in Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope. She is a blue-haired female Rabbid with the appearance of a ghost, with a frilly dress and a paper fan. She was once friends with Edge.[2]
It is stated she is not an actual ghost, but was merged with a cold and eerie mist, giving her such an appearance.
History
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Midnite was created by Cursa as a member of the Spark Hunters. When Edge, their leader, turned on Cursa, Midnite betrayed her in turn and sided with Cursa along with Bedrock and Daphne.
Midnite is found at Pristine Peaks, haunting the Winter Palace, where she locks up Rabbid Rosalina in the library. To rescue her, Captain Orion gathers the help of the heroes to explore the Winter Palace, where the group sees Midnite appearing and disappearing from the walls, at one point taunting Orion by destroying one of Rabbid Rosalina's knitting tools in front of him.
Once the heroes arrive at the library, Midnite appears yet again and sees Edge, thinking that she has returned to help out Midnite, but Edge shakes her head, causing Midnite to get annoyed. Midnite then tells the heroes that her and Edge used to be friends, causing confusion for everyone. Edge quickly ends the discussion, and Midnite taunts Edge, saying "real friends stick around". She then vanishes into the Darkmess Tentacle, and the heroes chase after her.
Inside the Darkmess Tentacle, Rabbid Rosalina is seen reading books, and is bored. Captain Orion sees her and runs towards Rabbid Rosalina, only to get captured and caged by Midnite. This angers Rabbid Rosalina, who joins the heroes in a fight against Midnite. After she is defeated, Captain Orion and Rabbid Rosalina are rescued and Edge confronts Midnite, who flies away with a remorseful expression.
She and Bedrock return to Cursa empty-handed, but to their shock and anger, Daphne had managed to capture three of the Sparks. Cursa almost flattens Midnite for her failures. Following Cursa's defeat, it is unknown what became of her.[2]
Battle
During the battle, Rabbid Rosalina is required to use while the player can choose three other party members. In battle, Midnite fights similarly to the Peek-a-Boos from Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle: instead of moving, she teleports from one place to another and attacks from a distance. Midnite also has two techniques at her disposal: one weakens nearby heroes' damage, and the other increases the damage of herself and nearby allies. She is also resistant to the Frostbite Super Effect. She has three phases, between which she uses her fan to move the library shelves into a new position, while the floor and Warp Pipes remain unchanged. She is aided in battle by Bob-ombs and Squashers in the first phase, Bob-ombs and Lone Wolves in the second one and by all of them in the third. The enemies do not respawn after being defeated.[2]

Memory bio
- MIDNITE
Today, we encountered a bioform more terrible than any of Cursa's minions thus far - a Spark Hunter named Midnite.
An analysis revealed that Midnite is the result of a merge between Rabbid DNA and "a cold mist during the dead of night that chills to the bone." The combination is cunning, alluring, and highly treacherous.
