Personality Profile:
We first meet Wanda with Pietro in neighboring cells, wrestling to manage their new powers. The twins are threadbare, part of Strucker’s project for a good deal of time, and have undergone intense physical, mental, and emotional stress. It is our first indicator of exactly how much pressure to which Wanda will submit in order to succeed – her strength of will and conviction.

Wanda is, above all, loyal to family. She will go to any lengths to protect and avenge that family, and to champion its freedoms.

Her first idea of family centers around Pietro and their grief over the violent loss of their parents. It is insular, with a ferocious skepticism of outsiders. Unlike Pietro, she does not express this distrust with shows of loud, intimidating bravado; instead, she is quiet and calculating, almost eerily so.

Wanda approaches the Avengers at first when they are isolated, identifies their weaknesses, and lets those weaknesses become their own undoing. Her style provides an insight into something insidious in her nature, and when combined with her ability to manipulate fear, we see how, left without guidance or support, her power can become monstrous.

Guidance and support is what the Avengers provide when she eventually joins them, and her ‘family’ now includes her team. Although her empathy can leave her raw and wounded — when she loses Pietro, the explosion in Lagos — it is also this empathy that connects her better with her new family and leaves her more vulnerable to exposing her own self-doubt.

Self-doubt drives many of her worst decisions — Wanda may isolate, blame herself for events touched by her hands but not fully within her control, and lose trust in others to help her. When she loses control, it can push her into hiding, or prompt an unintentional catastrophic event.

Character Details

Abilities, Powers, & Skills: Mods, I apologize in advance for this – post WandaVision her power list is just THE WORST and I definitely do not even want her to regain like, even half of what she can do because I like her to struggle with nerfs, but I didn’t want to be docked for leaving anything out. The fully expanded version is HERE if you need it!
I also have a VERY CLEAR powers permissions post and opt-out on my journal that game players will be allowed to use so we can avoid any confusion if/once certain powers are regained.

➢ Psionics: As a result of exposure to the cosmic energies from the Scepter, which contained the Mind Stone, Maximoff gained an array of psionic powers. These powers manifest as a luminescent mist or vapor of red hue emanating from her hands and body, resembling the natural Chaos Magic she was born with. When using her telepathic abilities, Maximoff's irises glow a dark red color. Her power signature is similar to that of the Mind Stone, as she gained her powers from it. Maximoff's powers are reliant on movement and focus, which means her enemies or opponents can stop her from using her powers by disrupting her concentration or restricting her movement.

• Psionic Energy Manipulation: Maximoff can project energy blasts, streams, waves and bolts of her own psionic and telekinetic energy, allowing her to strike, push, pull or blow away her targets, potentially exerting enough force to destroy them. This energy manifests in any shape or form, outlining her telekinetic spheres of influence, as the energy is visible in a reddish color. When her energy hits a target, she can use her telekinesis to inflict further damage. Significant emotional turmoil can both amplify Maximoff’s power and causes her to lose control over it.
• Telekinesis: Maximoff has the ability to move, levitate and otherwise manipulate objects using her psionic energy in a remote manner without the need for her energy to first be projected from her hands. Maximoff uses this energy to affect and control molecules and particles, allowing her to fully control matter and energy.
• Disintegration: Maximoff is capable of using her energy in such an acute telekinetic way that she is able to completely disintegrate objects, as she did with several Ultron Sentries after sensing her brother's death.
• Force-field Generation: Maximoff is able to create highly durable barriers of red energy that she can shape and manipulate as needed. She can use it to grab and break apart targets, protect others from enemy fire, contain a target or to cover and deflect attacks from enemies, such as Ultron's sentries. Like any physical barriers, the barrier could be broken with extreme brute force, as the Sentries were able to eventually break it.
• Flight: Maximoff is able to use this power to move through the air and simulate flight, in order to hover and safely float back to the ground. The use of this power manifests as a blast of psionic energy expelled from her hands onto the ground to propel herself up in the air, with a second blast used to slow her momentum as she approaches ground allowing her to land safely. It operates more like an enhanced leap similarly to Hulk, thanks to the force of gravity pushing her down. Maximoff's power grew over time to the point where she could project herself, along with Vision, far higher into the air and for much longer than before. After her resurrection and empowerment, she was able to effortlessly levitate several feet into the air while simultaneously lifting two massive pieces of rubble, no longer needing to actively project energy from her hands to levitate herself, and later flew through the air to intercept a Leviathan before it could attack Valkyrie. During her discussion with Vision, Maximoff was able to float merely by holding the psionic energy in her palms, and later showed the ability again upon leaving Westview, indicating growth in her ability to fly.

➢ Mental Manipulation: Maximoff was able to deploy a form of mental manipulation, often as a type of illusory hypnosis, using the same neuro-electric interface that is the basis of her telepathic powers. This power can be hypnotic in nature as shown when she used it against the Avengers in South Africa, placing them in a sort of trance while she viewed the Avengers' memories. When using her power, her irises sometimes glow a dark reddish color, especially when she concentrates it on specific targets.

• Emotional Manipulation: With her mental powers, Maximoff often used it in order to elicit fear or emotional pain in a person in the form of nightmarish hallucinations that could stun and weaken even an individual as powerful as Thor. These visions can depict things that a person fears, regrets, or general disturbances, though the nature of it is not up to Maximoff. She is able to know what her victim is seeing and be inside the vision with them, as demonstrated when she used the ability on Harkness.
• Telepathy: Due to her ability to interact mentally with others, Maximoff can read minds, communicate telepathically and experience the memories and thoughts of others. She also used this ability to temporarily see into Ultron's mind whilst he was uploading his consciousness into the android body of what would later become Vision and it was thanks to this that she was able to discover his genocidal intentions and rebel against him.

➢ Master Sorceress: As revealed by Harkness, in addition to the psionic abilities granted by the Mind Stone, Maximoff was born with latent magical abilities that were later unlocked and amplified through her exposure to the Stone.

• Chaos Magic Manipulation: Able to harness Chaos Magic, Maximoff was the realization of the myth of the Scarlet Witch, a being capable of spontaneous creation. She can shape and manipulate this magic for different effects, such as forming tangible constructs of energy or cast spells without incantation.
• Reality Manipulation: Maximoff can warp reality. She accomplishes this by manipulating molecular polarity, allowing her numerous other capabilities. Maximoff's reality warping abilities began initially on a small scale, however, as time progressed, her powers have grown exponentially. Maximoff can also create small zones where reality follows her wishes and rules. The areas are surrounded by a partially invisible force field and appear normal from the outside, as when she took control of Westview the town looked normal from the outside even though the reality had completely changed inside.
• Conjuration: With a wave of her finger she was able to create wedding rings for herself and Vision. During the magic show on Westview, Maximoff was able to conjure a small crane to cover up Vision's flight. Later on she was able to create a dog collar for Sparky. It was later revealed this was how she was able to conjure a copy of her deceased lover, Vision, within Westview with Chaos Magic, as well as creating an entire house for them to live in.
• Life Creation: Within the Hex, Maximoff could create living organisms, like her twin sons Billy and Tommy, though they would be destroyed if they left the Hex.
• Time Manipulation: Within the Hex, Wanda could control the passage of time for all of Westview, notably causing the time period within the town to change overnight and even accelerating the day and night cycle to fit the length of her sitcom episodes. Maximoff reverted a whole chicken into its egg form and later reversed the entire flow of time inside her reality by saying "no" in response to a S.W.O.R.D. agent crawling out of a sewer. While expanding the Hex to save Vision, Maximoff caused time in Westview to completely stop.
• Teleportation: During the talent show she instantly transported Geraldine from backstage into the magic box. In her battle with Harkness, Maximoff was also able to disappear and reappear behind her, leaving behind a trail of red smoke as she did, imitating Harkness's own teleportation.
• Transmutation: Maximoff was able to change her dress, transformed a real piano into a fake cardboard cutout, turned her and Vision's beds into a single bed, brought color to Westview and also brought fake butterflies on a mobile to life without meaning to. Maximoff was able to make herself four months pregnant inadvertently, and also caused her to give birth at a logarithmic rate. As her mental stability deteriorated, she further lost control of her surroundings, and began to inadvertently change objects in her home into versions from previous sitcom eras. While battling Agatha Harkness, Wanda used this ability to appear as if her life force had been drained by Agatha, including masking and hiding her psionic energy while flying in order to trick Harkness into thinking she had lost, when in actuality, she was preparing runes around the Hex to strip Harkness of her magic.
• Electricity Manipulation: Maximoff turned a light on and off with her hand and later, while experiencing contractions, Maximoff caused a power surge that intensified the light from a ceiling light and caused a power outage that affected the whole block.
• Weather Manipulation: When Maximoff's water broke she caused a rainstorm to erupt within the Vision Residence. After the rain stopped, she generated intense winds to pour in from outside in order to dry herself, Vision, and her house.
• Fire Manipulation: While experiencing contractions, Maximoff ignited a fire within the fireplace and caused it to intensify before dying down.
• Water Manipulation: While experiencing contractions, Maximoff caused a faucet to spew water and a washing machine to overflow with water.
• Protection Spell: Learned from Harkness, Maximoff used a protection spell via magic runes on the walls of the Hex that neutralized Harkness's magic, and revitalized Maximoff's own magic, even after having been drained of it.
• Energy Absorption: Maximoff displayed the ability to absorb Agatha Harkness' Dark Magic and transform it into Chaos Magic, amplifying her own magic to an even greater extent. Unlike Harkness, who also needs to absorb life force in order to absorb magic from others, Maximoff is capable of absorbing magic and energy without killing her target.
• Astral Projection: Unlike traditional astral projection, Maximoff was able to project her astral form without losing consciousness of her physical self. She accomplished this by manifesting the Scarlet Witch outside of her own body, as demonstrated when she studied the Darkhold in her astral form, whilst also brewing a cup of tea in her physical form.

➢ Gifted Intellect: Maximoff was able to learn and replicate Agatha Harkness' Teleportation and Protection Spell Casting just by seeing it once.
➢ Expert Combatant: Maximoff was originally a poor fighter, having no combat skills or formal training. However, with years of experience, she developed a fighting style in which she would infuse her psionic energy into her hands to greatly enhance her hand-to-hand combat skills and allow her to parry attacks from bladed weapons without suffering any harm due to her psionic energy protecting her hands from damage.
➢ Spy: Given that she was on the run from the government like her teammates, Maximoff was taught strategies to hide in plain sight by Black Widow, such as masking her thick Eastern European accent with an American one.
➢ Musician: Maximoff plays the acoustic guitar, as evidenced by the presence of one in her room at the New Avengers Facility. As evidenced by the ukulele in the Vision Residence, Maximoff also plays the ukulele.
➢ Singer: Maximoff was able to sing a Sokovian lullaby to Tommy and Billy Maximoff.
➢ Multilingualism: Maximoff is fluent in her native Sokovian (and Serbian) and English. She initially spoke English with a heavy Sokovian accent, and although it had slightly faded by the time of the attack on the IFID Headquarters, Black Widow taught her how to speak with a convincing American accent by the time of the Attack on Vision.

Inventory:
- Her black hoodie/cape (the clothes she is seen wearing as she exits Westview in WandaVision) – these aren't just your regular "clothes on her back" but the items she has chosen to transmutate into her new Scarlet Witch armor, cape, and face shield; if/when she regains her psionic powers she will be able to do this in game. Until then, it's just a caped hoodie for a stressed goth chick.
- If possible, the The Darkhold (the book we see her with at the end of WandaVision that she uses as a guide for her chaos magic) – if not, perhaps it can be earned through missions/regains in future chapters? We know she won’t be able to use the spells from it in the first chapter for sure, as her powers will be likely fully nerfed.
- A journal she's kept since she was still alone with Pietro in Sokovia; it contains personal musings, dissections of trauma and relationships, song lyrics (both original and copied and not particularly organized), messy sketched portraits of loved ones and even messier self-portraits, and extensive notes on the nature of psionics, telepathic enhancement, and her initial forays into chaos magic. Some of it is objective, coherent, scientific. Other parts are pure emotional bedlam.
