Codename: Scarlet Witch
Real Name: Wanda Lensherr
Age: 20
Height: 5'7
Weight: 130 Lbs
Eyes: Blue
Hair: Auburn
Distinguishing Features: Remarkable Resemblance to Magda (Mother)
Known Relatives: Erik Magnus Lensherr (Father), Pietro Lensherr (Twin Brother)
Powers: Ability to affect probability fields to cause occurrence of various
unlikely phenomena, including spontaneous combustion of flammable objects, rapid
rust or decay of organic or inorganic materials, deflection of objects in
flight, disruption of energy transmissions of fields. Hexing is rather
unreliable however, and has a 20% chance of going awry. The probability is
also affected by Wanda's physical condition.
Skills/Talents: Wanda has learned the basic training of combat skills and
tactical strategies from her father. She also happens to be a natural leader,
which in turn makes her an excellent mentor.
History: The daughter of Magneto has had quite an unpleasant childhood
already. Magda had fled from Erik's side when she saw his mutant powers
manifest, and eventually found herself giving birth to twins, on the slopes of
Mount Wundagore. After giving birth, she left the twins in the care of
Bova and fled once again into the wilderness, where she died, leaving newborns
Wanda and Pietro orphaned. A pair of gypsies took the children as their own,
and raised them as best they could. Wanda and Pietro were inseparable. Years
passed, and they had grown up somewhat happily. In 1980, Erik Lensherr resurfaced into their lives. Shortly beforehand, Wanda and Pietro each had manifested their mutant abilities, cause their parents to become concerned over this issue. At first, the twins were rather dubious of this strange man who stepped into their lives, and claimed to be their real father. However, with Erik's persuasion, their "father" admitted to this revelation. Erik was almost fascinated at Wanda's resemblance to his lost Magda also, as well as Pietro's similar appearance to his own. Spending time with the twin enlightened them to the issues they, as mutants, would soon deal with. Particularly Wanda. She felt Erik's great sadness, and his determination, at the same time. As his faithful daughter, Wanda accepted Erik's proposal to attend his conceptual school for mutants. In the meantime, he would work with the children, teaching them to control their own powers, as well as defend themselves. Wanda's hex powers proved to be a concern of Erik's, but the young girl held her own as best she could, while the overprotective Pietro assisted her, unaware to her knowledge. Wanda found herself intrigued by Erik's beliefs of mutant-kind, and with time had wholeheartedly accepted them, just as she has him into her heart. A few years pass, while the trio continues to train, and investigate, and Erik advances his plans to open the new school and begin gathering mutants. |
Personality: Wanda is a rather cheerful young woman. She maintains an idealistic attitude, and her fierce determination to see her father's dream come true is evident upon first meeting her. Wanda seems to be the den mother of her fellow mutants, caring, and willing to make sacrifices to ensure their safety. The bond she shares with her twin has become unbreakable, and Wanda is willing to do most anything to protect her brother, although primarily hers is the being in danger. In combat, she echoes her father's iron will and quick wits. |
