In The Comics
Misty Knight was an esteemed police officer who was good friends with Colleen Wing and lost her arm in a freak explosion. She was given a replacement bionic arm by Tony Stark, but was relegated to desk duty nonetheless. Her and Colleen would later ally themselves with Iron Fist and Spider-Man in a bid to take down Steel Serpent, during which time the two were given the name Daughters of the Dragon.
The two would then go on to join the reformed Heroes for Hire group, with Knight donning a red superhero outfit (that still pays homage to her time as a cop.)
In The Show
Once again, Misty is a successful police officer in who is a key figure in Luke Cage's fight against crime in Harlem. In The Defenders, she attempts to keep things somewhat under control during the war in New York and, like in the comics, loses her arm (this time via sword), as well as develops a bond with Colleen. They haven't quite gone full Daughters of the Dragon just yet, however. (Although, promotional material for Luke Cage season two does show her sporting the bionic arm.)
