Description:
Fifteen years is a long time for change, and in Wanda's case she has matured quite a bit. Compared to her teen years, Wanda has become more inclined to wear clothes that are much more casual and somewhat formal, usually button ups, blouses, long sleeve shirts, and neck-high sleeveless shirts with black slacks, jeans, and capris along with leather boots from ankle high to knee high. Though she does throw in sneakers and regular t-shirts or shorts once in a while. More often now, she also wears dresses and skirts, with the occasional leather attire thrown in. Physically, she stands at 5' 7" and has since become a bit more fit and lean, slightly tanned, and has long since let her hair grow out revealing her naturally auburn coloring and curls. However, Wanda strongly leans into signature colors of red and black, which make her deep green eyes pop all the more but has come to favor more red with black as an accent.
Personality:
Just as Wanda has matured in terms of physically and her powers, so too has she matured in her personality. As a teenager, Wanda was once filled with anger, rage, and hatred, largely from the way her father treated her and abandoned her in an asylum. Uncontrollable and seemingly unstable, Wanda struggled with her intense emotions, rarely showing any other emotion other than anger and angst, being solemn, a loner, and harsh in tone and biting in her words. Due to her legendary temper, she really had no friends or got along with anyone, and generally was cold, cruel, and strained in her connections, strangely enough somewhat mirroring her father's attitude early on.
But, with years comes change, and Wanda spent much of her later years trying to come to terms with who she was and the experiences in her life. Though for a few years her memories and attitude were rewritten by Mastermind, these effects slowly were undone during her training with Agatha allowing her to confront her past in a more constructive way. Now, Wanda is much more calmer in attitude and mind, having a more warm, welcoming air about her and being much more approachable, modest, and level headed. She is much more responsible, out-going, and cautious, generally trying to approach life with a more careful, watchful outlook while trying to maintain her own personal peace and serenity for the sake of her own sanity and chaotic abilities. In a sense, she seems to have taken a route quite similar to Storm in finding a balance within herself.
That said though, Wanda is not without some sass and attitude. While she is calmer, she can still be blunt and honest, still being quite forward in her thoughts and still occasionally gets annoyed. Her temper also still remains, but she tries to maintain a more cool, neutral response if she can help it. But, it will flare from time to time and still rivals that of her father's. But, she is far from being as cold as Erik and a stark contrast to her brother's more brash, forward nature. Though, Wanda can still be forward and isn't afraid to make herself heard. She can likewise be calculating and strategic in her thoughts, trying to be more of an open minded, team player when she can. Though, she does often like to keep to herself still if she can.
Powers:
Wanda's dominant ability is probability manipulation, or affecting how likely an event is to happen or come true. By manipulating energy fields and matter, Wanda can trigger likely and unlikely events in varying degrees and potencies, essentially causing "chaotic luck" or "good luck" events to happen to both organic and inorganic things. Generally labeled as her "hexes", manipulating these energies and matter give off a reddish hue where they were previously a dark blue, being used through sight, gestures, and focus. With years of focus and meditation as well as teachings from Agatha Harkness, Wanda has gained a finer control over her chaotic abilities, being able to better control the type of events she wants to happen as well as an expanded radius of 40 feet and triggering more than one event. These events can range in a number of possibilities such as:
By extent, Wanda's manipulation of energies and matter extend to her having limited manipulation over various energy forms, though nothing to the extent of say Havok or her own father. Wanda is capable of perceiving and sensing different energy sources and signatures, as well as drawing and/of transferring energy from one source to another or to herself. Defensively, Wanda can create forcefields or barriers in various shapes and sizes, while offensively she can create concussive blasts, beams, discharges, explosions, and energy blades easily capable of destroying or damaging steel. It is the manipulation of these energies that her original dark blue energy visible around her hands returns.
Through further training after reconnecting with Agatha, Wanda tapped into latent psionic abilities of which she had only shown brief instances of in her youth. Though compared to those like Jean Grey or Charles Xavier, her psychic abilities are relatively minor in power. Wanda's telepathy allows her to read the surface thoughts of others, speak with them telepathically, and make mental links with multiple people. Wanda has shown some skill in telekinesis in her teen years but has since developed them more, being able to move objects around with her mind that are roughly equal to or slightly above her own weight. She can likewise bind the movements of others, simulate flight, and concussive blasts. Finally, Wanda also has minor empathic abilities, allowing her to perceive and read the emotions of others. When using her psychic abilities, these energies tend to take on a much darker red hue than her Probability power.
Weaknesses:
Though Wanda has improved greatly in control of her powers and her emotions, they are deeply tied together. Should Wanda become angered, upset, or feel any sort of intense emotions, her powers can become uncontrollable and result in random, chaotic events that spiral out of her control resulting in sometimes catastrophic outcomes. Likewise, the events Wanda conjures are largely tied to her intention and focus, she must have some positive or negative intent to trigger certain outcomes as well as losing any form of concentration can undo what she has done. But, these events also must be within her sight and radius, meaning despite how powerful Wanda can be, without her sight or being outside the 40 feet, her powers cannot affect that area nor can she use her powers while her hands are restrained in some way.
Likewise, Wanda's abilities cannot be used in tandem with one another. All her mutations require focus, direction, and intent while her energy manipulation less so. Yet, her manipulation of these energies is not nearly as strong and more often used for short, quick instances of supplement certain situations. Plus her use of Energy Manipulation is much more basic in its form and makes her easily overpowered by stronger, more experienced Energy users.
When it comes to her psionics, Wanda is likewise on the weaker side of psychic users as she is among energy users. She can achieve the basics of these abilities but more advanced abilities are out of her reach. With her telepathy, she cannot break into the minds of others, control them, attack the mind, possess others, and can only reach out to a limited number of people mentally, at least 5 or 6 at a time. Her telekinesis is slightly stronger, but Wanda cannot manipulate objects heavier than 220 lbs, limited control of astral energy only in the form of concussive blasts, and mental focus as with her main mutation. Her empathy is also at its basic, being unable to affect or control the emotions of others.
Skills/Hobbies:
Over the years, Wanda has explored finding who she is after years of being locked away and dealing with the X-men, gradually finding things she loves. For the most part, Wanda partakes in dancing, meditation, and yoga, increasing her mental focus, flexibility, agility, balance, and coordination, largely to help with her mental health and power control. Occasionally, Wanda enjoys swimming, cooking, dealing with natural herbal remedies, botany, and teas. Over the years Wanda has earned her piloting license, and went to school abroad to study Psychology and Behavior of which she has up to a Master's in. In her many years of traveling, Wanda has become multilingual, speaking English, French, German, some Greek, Serbian, Russian, and some Romani dialects.
History:
Compared to most, Wanda started life quite rough.
From a young age, Wanda only recalls ever living with her father, Erik Lensherr, and her twin brother, Pietro Maximoff. What happened to her mother she never found out, but assumed she lost her mother when she was too young to remember her and for sometime lived in New York City with her family. But, Wanda's mutant abilities manifested earlier than most when she was still quite young, perhaps between the ages of 6 to 7 and were quite out of control for even Magneto himself to control. Concerned to how destructive his daughter would become, Erik seemingly abandoned her to a maximum security asylum where he felt she would be better controlled.
Despite her pleas, Wanda never saw her father after that, instead living a rough life within the confines of the asylum and being treated poorly by the nurses and guards. This caused Wanda to become extremely introverted, angered, and seething, only ever having a form of kindness from her father's old friend in the form of Charles Xavier, one of the few who genuinely tried to help her to prepare her to join the Xavier Institute. With little progress however, Wanda remained until the day came that Mystique disguised herself as a doctor and broke Wanda out, putting her in the care of Agatha Harkness to train her to better control her chaotic powers in the hopes the blue shapeshifter could use her in revenge against Magneto. From that day on, Wanda struggled to harness her power and maintain her relationship with the rest of the Brotherhood.
Given her attitude and loner nature, Wanda didn't jive with the team, even more so when she seemed to show greater compassion for her actions and often conflicted with the plans Mystique held. But, nevertheless Wanda became a staple of the Brotherhood even when she began attempting to kill her father and brother many times over until Magneto had Mastermind rewrite her memories and personality to make Wanda much easier to control. Years down the line though, Wanda eventually followed her fellow Brotherhood members to joining SHIELD in their Freedom Force for a couple years, her attitude gradually changing but always feeling she was missing something. That something didn't get realized until the disappearance of Xavier and her father, causing Wanda to become concerned to what had happened to the Master of Magnetism despite all he had put them through. So, she bid farewell to her teammates and went in searching of her father.
Months down the line, Wanda reconnected with Agatha in Serbia, the two women sharing a much needed and welcomed reunion, and the young woman deciding to take up tutelage under Harkness at her own volition. In the thirteen years since, Wanda grew exceptionally under the old witch's guidance, having her original memories and personality restored to properly begin healing on a mental and emotional level, and discovering more about herself and her powers. In so doing, Wanda finally came to realize what that missing "piece" in her life was, coming to fully embrace the individual she was as she likewise began trying new things throughout her downtime in training, trying to find what she liked rather than listening to those attempting to control her. With no luck in discovering the whereabouts of her father and Agatha deeming Wanda trained well enough to maintain her abilities on her own, the two women parted ways in England.
After this, Wanda decided it was time to return to more familiar grounds, recently having returned to Bayville and opened her own little shop known as Emporium as well as buying her own apartment. She has also likewise taken up a job at Bayville, becoming the new guidance counselor.
First Appearance Scene: I'm thinking perhaps a run-in with a familiar face as Wanda is moving things into her new shop. Or her being out and about buying supplies and groceries for her home and little shop. Or Wanda getting settled into the new job as the guidance counselor. Something along those lines!
