OOC INFO: PLAYER NAME: Erin AGE: 24 GENDER: F TIMEZONE: CST OTHER CHARACTERS: Charlie, Clint, Kyle, Baldr, Iimlaunim, Morgan, Tony. This is my last. [/PTab][PTab=PERSONNEL ASSESSMENT] PERSONALITY ASSESSMENT: LIKES: Pietro: Her brother is most of what matters to her in the world and without him Wanda is not sure what she would do. When they're separated she spends most of her time worrying about him instead of herself. Homemade Food: She still remembers her mother's cooking fondly and hopes to one day be able to make the old family recipes herself, but her mother's cookbook was lost in the bombing. Children: Wanda loves children and assists them when she can. She always has a kind word and a smile for children and hopes to one day become a mother herself. Romance: Somewhat of a romantic, Wanda loves hearing the stories and imagining her own fairytale romance coming to pass. Travel: Wanda got a taste for travel when her and Pietro were forced to do so in order to protect themselves, but she has found that she loves discovering new places and meeting the people that inhabit them. She enjoys learning local traditions and sampling their food and wants to eventually see the world. DISLIKES: HYDRA: After learning that HYDRA was the organization behind her home's war-torn state and the people experimenting on them and lying about what they wanted she has developed a hatred for them. She wishes to get them out of her home and perhaps off the planet completely. Stark: Knowing that Stark made the weapons that tore her home apart and killed her parents, Wanda cannot bring herself to like the man, even if he's now pretending to be a superhero and sworn off making weapons. The Brotherhood: While grateful to Magneto for saving their lives, Wanda and Pietro left the Brotherhood when it became apparent that their goals did not quite line up. In addition his attempt to use his possible relation to them to control them left a bad taste in her mouth. She doesn't like that the Brotherhood's actions tend to only make relations between mutants and humans worse, as she's seen how devastating that can become. The State of the World: It seems as if the world is being torn apart by in-fighting and people with powers, and on top of all that the occasional alien invasion. Wanda knows that something has to be done to change this and bring the world back to a better place, but she doesn't know where to start except that she wants to save her home. The Avengers: She sees the Avengers as part of the problem rather than the solution. They only fight violence with more violence and they seem to make the city they claim to protect more of a target instead of less of one. STRENGTHS: HYDRA's Experiments: While her mutant powers were formidable in the first place, HYDRA's experiments on her unlocked the devastating mental aspects of her powers which allow her to effect others mentally in addition to physically. Strength of Character: Despite some of the groups Wanda has become attached to over the years, she has the drive and will necessary to create change in the world. She simply needs to find the cause she wants to fight for and people that believe in the same things. Survival Instincts: Wanda's whole life has been about survival and as such she has developed the skills to survive in any situation. She is used to scrounging for food and reading intentions at the drop of a hat and the need to hide herself from those that could harm her. WEAKNESSES: Mental Instability: The trauma she has been through has left her slightly unstable in its wake and Wanda can have trouble with reality on occasion. These breaks are rare, but they can be devastating. Emotional Responses: Her powers, specifically her Hex Energy and Telekinesis, are closely tied to her mental and emotional state. This means that she can lose control of them when these states are compromised. Pietro: Wanda's care for her brother is greater than most else in her life and as such, him being in danger will put her in danger as well as she will do anything to help him, to the detriment of herself. GOALS: Wanda wants, more than anything, to have a family of her own one day. Her own was taken from her when she was young and she has never stopped missing them. In addition she wants to stop HYDRA, who have been causing disruption in her home country for years. She hopes to get them out of Sokovia and stop them from destroying any more families. FEARS: Losing her brother, the only family she has left, is Wanda's greatest fear. She would do anything for her brother. OVERALL PERSONALITY: Wanda is a driven woman, hardened by the devastation in her life and wanting nothing more than to save her homeland. With everything that she has been through, she is very slow to trust, often consulting Pietro before throwing her chips in with anyone, although she will often be the deciding vote in what they ultimately do. She is willing to go through a lot in order to get the power to fix her country, even volunteering for painful experiments, although she later regretted signing on with that organization. Very motherly in nature, Wanda is incredibly protective of the young and many others. Voluntarily caring for people that are in pain in any way is one thing that she does wherever she goes, although she has a special soft spot for children and those of similar heritage to her own, be they mutants or Romani. Wanda is hopeful that one day the world she wishes to exist can come to light and that there will not be so much death and destruction wreaked upon the world. She believes that she can and should be part of this change and that it is her duty to assist others with her powers, especially as they are partially from an organization that has assisted in the world's destruction up to this point. She carries a lot of guilt from her time with the Brotherhood and HYDRA and wants to do anything she can to make up for the trouble she created while under their control. HISTORICAL OVERVIEW: BIRTHPLACE: Sokovia RESIDENCE: On the run but hiding in New York. PARENTS: Django and Marya Maximoff raised Wanda and her brother Pietro and are their parents in all the ways that count in that regard, however their biological parents are Erik and Magda Lensherr, formerly Eisenhardt. SIBLINGS: Her twin brother (older by twelve minutes) Pietro Maximoff. Their elder sister Anya Lensherr died before they were born. They have a younger sister they are not yet aware of named Lorna Dane. IMPORTANT RELATIVES: Most of those important the her outside of Pietro are dead. IMPORTANT PERSON: Wanda hasn't had time to think on such things as of yet, but she hopes to find someone. OVERALL HISTORY: Wanda and her twin brother Pietro were conceived to Max Eisenhardt and his wife Magda. However, early in the couple's pregnancy Magda learned of her husband's mutation when their home was attacked, ending in the death of their first child, and fled from the man who would become Magneto, terrified of him now that she knew him to be a mutant. She settled on Wundagore Mountain in Transia, near where others from her Roma heritage had settled. Upon the birth of the twins, she became paranoid that Magneto would find them through her and fled yet again, this time into a blizzard where she died of exposure, leaving the twins behind. They were soon given into the care of Django and Marya Maximoff, a Roma couple who had lost their own twin children. Unfortunately, because of their heritage and the prejudices against the Roma people in war-torn Sokovia, the Maximoffs were quite poor and eventually their father had to resort to stealing food to keep them from starving. This made the members of the Roma settlement even more disliked by the town and they faced even more discrimination, but it was still home. When the twins were ten, a mortar shell hit their home and killed their parents, collapsing the building around them and trapping the twins. When the second shell hit but did not explode, Wanda and Pietro were trapped and terrified. This was when their powers manifested, and Wanda's reality warping upset the mortar shell, causing it to finally blow and destroy the rest of their home. Pietro's powers manifested in time for him to speed himself and his sister to safety, but their adoptive parents, the only ones they'd ever known, were now dead and they were effectively orphans. The twins traveled through Europe together afterwards, leaving their destroyed city even though they were still too young to really be on their own and living off the land and trying to make it on their own, though it was difficult with the prejudices against their people. Their relative peace did not last for too long, however, and one day Wanda's powers manifested unexpectedly again, causing nearby townspeople to attack them out of fear. Despite their powers, the twins were overpowered until Magneto appeared and rescued them, convincing them to join his cause in repayment for saving them. Still teens, they were easily pressed into the Brotherhood and fought alongside the members for a couple years, feeling uncomfortable with some of the organization's actions, but knowing that they were safer with the group of mutants than they were on their own. It was when Magneto began to plan his war on the Mutant 'Cure' that they decided they had had enough. Only fifteen, the twins didn't want to be a part of something like that. In a last ditch effort to keep them around, Magneto revealed himself to be their father, but it only served to alienate the twins further and they took off, confused and betrayed. On their own again, the twins had to readjust to life on the run, however they caught the attention of HYDRA when they returned to their homeland. A HYDRA scientist called List approached the twins after seeing them help fight back against a raid started by HYDRA soldiers. Telling the twins that he could help them become powerful enough to fight back against the people tearing their country apart, he convinced them to join HYDRA's experiments. In order to greater understand mutants, HYDRA ran a great many tests on the twins, in addition to utilizing alien technology to unlock even greater potential in their abilities. The captivity had an adverse effect on both their minds and bodies, but they believed that they would be able to help their people and stayed. Eventually the twins discovered the truth; that the people 'helping' them with their abilities were in fact the same people that were tearing their country apart. Betrayed yet again, the twins fought back, using their given abilities to destroy the lab they had been kept in and escaping back into their homeland. During the battle they were separated and Wanda made her way back over to the States. She didn't know where it was that she fit in, and with the Brotherhood's dispersal she did not even have that any longer. Lost and feeling alone without her brother by her side, Wanda traveled to the center of the superhuman activity, New York City, hoping that her brother would find her there and that they would be able to find a new cause, one that would actually be able to save their homeland one day.

SIBLINGS:
Anya Lensherr - Older Sister
Pietro Maximoff - Twin Brother
Lorna Dane-Lensherr - Younger Half-Sister
IMPORTANT RELATIVES: none
IMPORTANT PERSON: She enjoys the company of the Avenger Vision when she can.
HISTORY:
When Magda and Erik’s home was attacked, the couple was separated. While Erik escaped with Anya, Magda and the twins escaped elsewhere. She was terrified upon learning of Erik’s mutation and took the twins to Wundagore, where some of her Roma heritage had settled. She became very sick that winter and died and the twins were adopted by the Maximoffs, a Roma couple that had lost their own children.
Growing up with the extreme prejudices against the Romani from the surrounding people was difficult, and on one unfortunate night when Wanda’s powers suddenly manifested while they were in a neighboring city, the prejudice became worse. The small destruction her abilities caused terrified the locals, who decided to attack their home. Their home burned for a second time in their short lives and the still-young twins were left parentless.
While they were wandering the countryside, trying to find a new home, they were picked up by Hydra scientists, who were intrigued by their mutations and began running experiments on them. While these experiments were painful, they increased the twins’ natural mutations, giving them more power. Still, they could not discover a way to escape.
Their true father had been searching for the twins ever since he’d lost them, and upon hearing rumor of mutant twins in Hydra, he mounted a strike team to rescue the now-teens. They were terrified, at first, due to the extreme shows of power Magneto and his team utilized to rescue the twins, but upon realizing that he was their Father, this fear edged away and they followed him back to Genosha.
Now reunited with their family, the twins slowly acclimated to their new lives. Wanda’s care for others has become widely-known in Genosha, where she is often seen helping the poorer members of their community. It has been eight years since her and Pietro have come to live there.
