General Appearance: Wanda has always looked slightly different than the Romany family she believed

to be her own. She had a paler skin tone than the ruddy complexions around her. Her eyes are a vibrant blue

and her hair is dark auburn. Not quite a red head, but close. Her face is delicate featured and she has a

slight over bite. She stands at five feet seven inches tall, not too tall but not short. Her figure is, in

her mind, oddly proportioned. Her legs longer than her torso and not quite an hourglass figure. Her hands

are delicate with long fingers that speak to playing the violin or piano.

Personal

Known relatives: Erik Lehnsher, her father. Pietro Maximoff, her other half, her twin. Lorna

Dane, half sister.
Group affiliation: 616 team, currently Avengers
Mutant Powers: The easiest way to explain Wanda's powers would be that she can tap into magic, including the magical field around all reality. What that breaks down into is much more complicated. She has had some magical training but is no where near the sorceress. Her most used ability would be what she calls Hex Bolts. It's a smaller kind of disruption in the magical field that alters reality slightly.

Usually targeted towards a person or small group, it changes the probability of things. Typically to her benefit. She is able to warp reality on larger scales but it takes so very much out of her and the results are never exactly what she wants them to be. In truth, she feels her abilities are more like that of the ancient stories of the djinn. Your wish will be granted, against all probability, but not in the way you want.

AU Strengths and Weaknesses:In her time period she has only learned the magic of her powers, she has delved into reality warping in such small amounts and has no clue the extent possible should she be pushed.

History: Wanda's parentage was very much a secret. Her father, a man going by Magnus, had believed his wife dead and left the country for the States. Magda, however was far from deceased. In fact she was pregnant with twins. Unsure how to handle parenthood she took off for Wundagore mountain where a nursemaid helped her through the pregnancy. Once the twins were born she named them. Wanda and Pietro, then left, never to be seen again. The nursemaid was not capable of caring for the twins and so found a family to take them in.

Django Maximoff and his wife Marya were without children and more than willing to take the infants in. They were raised in the Romany family traditions. Learning the basic soothsaying that their mother used to bring in coin and music from their father. The two were always close, Wanda and Pietro were nearly inseparable. One day as teenagers, Wanda's power came about during a visit to a village. It accidentally set fire to a cottage. The townsfolk did not need much in the reason to blame the gypsy family and went to attack the caravan. Django, worried for his children, had Pietro take Wanda and run.

They survived for months on their own, using the small talents they had learned from their Romany family. They traveled much of the Mongolian countries until alone in a village, Wanda had some problems with local boys. Pietro was off getting food for the night and she panicked. Her brother was very much her security blanket and she tossed off hex bolts at the boys. The village came after her and Pietro fought to get to her side. Like a bad nightmare, they were again fighting to escape when they were rescued. A man they had never met who went by the name Magneto. He saved them and invited them to join his Brotherhood.

Pietro had a strong sense of honor and believed that they owed this man their life, having no idea that he was their father, so they joined the Brotherhood and left the country. They were close, and while they still felt as though they still owed a debt to Magneto, it was not their goal, their fight. So it was not long that they abandoned their terrorist activities and found refuge with the Avengers. Their work, was much more in line with what Wanda wanted out of life and so after petitioning to join the team, she and her brother were made officially, Avengers. They were not sent on all missions but as they earned their place, they found themselves a larger part of the team. There was a point when, their parentage revealed, Wanda doubted her place but was able to come to terms with the differences in view of the man that was her father and herself.

(Totally hand waving much of the Avenger history. Would rather avoid the details not needed, but more than willing to add in more to get connections going with other Avengers!)
