Given Name: Wanda Maximoff
Codename: Scarlet Witch
Age: 23
Detailed Description of Powers: Scarlet Witch can create "Hex-spheres". Obtained through gestures, perhaps words, and mental concentration, these pockets of shifted probability give her the ability to warp natural events into the supernatural.
Spontaneous combustion, rusting of metals, stopping objects in flight, bending, cracking, psychokinetic like movement, disappearance, energy, loss of gravity, and any limitless number of things could happen. Truly it ends up with the worst possibility for her enemies, if all works as planned.
She has a fair amount of control over it, but that is not stemming from her mutation itself. The control comes from her training with the forces of magic. That is where the training ends though.
She has no sorcery like skills, her magic only lets her control her mutation. With this training she can concentrate and produce a specific effect, but it is this kind of strain that can also bring about the downfall of her powers.
When she is stressed or has overused her powers there is a chance that the power will backfire. This could perhaps end with nothing, or something that undoes a previous "Hex", maybe even resulting in something negative to Scarlet Witch herself.
When well rested and able to concentrate she can create several spheres in succession and the effects can last for several hours before the true reality seeps back in and repair whatever can be. This leaves her with great potential but at a price and at an equally great risk. Also her powers are limited to her line of sight.
Originally from: The Mountain Wundagore, Transia, Europe.
Known Family: Magnus, father. Magda, mother. Pietro Maximoff (Quicksilver), brother. Django Maximoff, adoptive father. Marya Maximoff, adoptive mother.
Physical Description: She is 5 ft. 7in. and 130 pounds as well as with brown, auburn colored hair. Blue eyes. Basically, average for a woman her age. Ironic, no?
What she wears as a costume, is all scarlet, hence the name. She has a flared collar to her leather jacket whose sleeves come down to a point that rests snuggly on the back of her palms.
Under that is a dress which is made of a corset that covers her breasts but the strings are left open slightly, mostly to help her still be able to breath. Below that is a dress that is made of a flowing silky material.
Her outfit is form fitting about the middle and arms but below her chest and the back of her jacket all flow incredibly well. It all adds to her dramatic, sorceress like appearance.
She also has an M-Shaped frame for her face. It acts to keep her slightly curly hair from getting in her way but also is a unique feature to her look.
Other: Has an affinity towards magical tools. She employs mystic techniques of true witches due to her training. So that means she has an affinity towards, herbs, candles, alchemical devices, the elements, etc. She feels these things give her an extra advantage when casting hexes for specific events. She is calm and sly but at times can be vicious and cruel. Like her powers and her life, it can change in an instant.
Bio: Wanda was born of Magnus who is also know as Magneto, and Magda. Magda fled from Magnus, fearful of his powers and power hungry nature. She fled before either of them knew she was pregnant with the set of twins to become the Maximoff children. From there Magda sought safety in the citadel of Wundagore in the mountains of Transia. At this time she knew of the budding powers in her womb and she sought the aid of Bova as a midwife. This Bova had been evolved from a cow by the High Evolutionary, one Herbert Wyndham who had the secrets of evolution. This kind woman Bova indeed helped give birth to Wanda and Pietro. Yet, Magda was fearful of Magneto still. She fled from Bova, leaving her children in their care as she ended her life by disappearing into the cold abyss of the tundra. Bova was left alone and, though attempting to give the children a home she was unsuccessful. She gave them to the High Evolutionary who was responsible for their adoption into the Maximoff family, where their life began. The Maximoff family was truly part of a gypsy camp. In this life Pietro and Wanda grew to discover their powers. Pietro stole with his talents until the villagers of the nearby town grew wise to his burglary. The attacked the small gypsy camp. Pietro fled with his sister and knowing what their parents faced, the two suppressed the memories of their childhood. In one event Scarlet Witch accidentally set a house on fire with her powers. It was in this instance that she met Magneto for the first time as he saved her from the superstitious townsfolk that assaulted her and her brother for the damage. Magneto saved them from the mob and it was Magneto's first taste of both their powers, though they were unaware of the family ties. Into their adult years they lived off the land while scouring Europe, until finally they parted to go and seek their own ways through life.
