CHARACTER INTERPRETATION
» Appearance: Wanda is about 5'8", with a curvy but muscle-toned build, the result of years of exercise and hand-to-hand combat training. Her appearance can vary depending on story arc and artist, but what remains constant throughout is her long, dark hair, dark brown eyes, and pale skin.
» Suitability: N/A
» Orientation: Heterosexual. Wanda is shown flirting with and kissing Scott Summers (and even mentioned to another her intention to seduce him.) Based on two brief scenes in which Wanda is shown conversing with Pym's robot, one could also make an argument for certain robosexual leanings, especially when questioned by her brother as to whether or not she was flirting with one and during another scene is seen attempting to arrange a time to meet up with it when her over-protective brother isn't around, but all that is proven for sure is that she finds the machines fascinating.
» Personality: Characters of the Marvel 1610 universe are very much a product of their environment, and Wanda Lehnsherr is no exception.
She was raised by a man with his own motives closer at heart than his children. To seek his approval and affection, both she and Pietro bent over backwards to please him. Erik, being the Father of the Year that he is, had absolutely no qualms manipulating both of his children toward his ends. As a result, Wanda honed her mutant skills and unquestioningly supported his vision for a world of mutant-supremacy. Having grown up in an isolated community of mutants who believed in everything Magneto said and did, it was no wonder that there was never any outside influence to make her question anything her father did. No, instead she became Daddy's Little Terrorist to the best of her ability.
At times she emulated her father's unadulterated rage and behaved as a zealot as much as he, but Wanda never entirely acquired the same violent ruthlessness that her father possessed. That isn't to say that she's never had blood on her hands, but her motives were based in supporting her father and gaining his approval rather than being violent for the enjoyment of it.
With the initial goal to not only please her father but survive in the environment of the Brotherhood of Mutants, Wanda adapted and changed as she grew up. Gone went the little girl who used to run through the hallways playing with her brother, and in her place came a much altered young woman. Seemingly colder and harder, Wanda had pulled around her a sort of aloofness and unimpressed air she used to both deflect and set down those deemed lesser. And, as what amounted to a princess in her father's kingdom, everyone was lesser than she but Pietro, her equal, and their father who reigned over all.
Of course, there was always more to Wanda than that. In addition to a passion for poetry (her own written and recited in the mutant language Epsilon-Omega), and a lack of shame when it comes to sex, the most notable thing about Wanda Lehnsherr is her relationship with her brother. Throughout their changing circumstances and even her own eventually evolved personality, her love and support of her brother remains constant and unshaken.
It is through her interactions with Pietro that we get a glimpse of Wanda as how she might have been if left out of her father's fanatical schemes to take over the world. With him, she smiles, she is physically affectionate, and indeed shows a closeness to her twin that is constantly questioned (not just behind their backs but at times to their face) by those around them. Wanda and Pietro have seemingly gotten used to ignoring the looks and probing jibes, at times responding with a few quick words to imply that the accusations are tired and indeed, none of anyone's business.
These glimpses into Wanda's personality and who she is at her core only continue the longer she and Pietro remain with the Ultimates. Rather than keeping to themselves as often as they used to, both Wanda and Pietro interact more with their teammates out of the office, so to speak. They help Natasha shop for a wedding dress, attend dinner parties at the Bartons' house, and by Wanda's canon point she leaves the team discussing with Pietro her desire to get everyone Christmas gifts that year.
Not only that, but in the comics it's shown that Wanda is more likely to admit to being uncertain or having doubts in her own abilities during emotional or high-pressure situations. In Ultimates second story arc, Wanda is asked to stop several missiles from launching from the Middle East. In such a high-pressure situation with so much at stake and so many things that could go wrong, she stated aloud that she was freaking out and wasn’t sure she could complete her task without mistakes.
When off-duty, Wanda is not someone who talks just to feel included. She has no problem with giving her input or an opinion, however this is provided that Pietro doesn’t speak up first, and that what he says does not cover points she would have made herself. The siblings are at times of the same opinion and Wanda has no issues letting him speak for them both during those times.
Wanda’s working relationship with the Ultimates has become stronger than that with the Brotherhood, and she responds well to Tony’s encouragement during a rare moment of uncertainty, as well as Nick Fury’s direction in the field. She communicates well, clearly and succinctly, even when her concern is divided between the battle at hand and instances in which Pietro has been seriously hurt. It’s with the Ultimates that Wanda is shown acting as an actual team member, capable not just of leading but taking orders from and working with those who are not family and not even mutants.
With those she develops more than a passing acquaintance with, Wanda’s personality can shift more noticeably. Where once she might have been withdrawn and quiet, even judgmental, she might become more coy and outgoing. In a few instances Wanda has been shown to be exceedingly friendly with those who catch her interest.
Still, these new connections do not come easily. Having believed herself to be superior to most everyone for a great deal of her life, she can be more aloof and slow to warm up to others. After all, not only is she a mutant with incredible powers, but she is also well-educated, clever, and fairly cultured as well. Her aloofness, built originally as a defense mechanism against other Brotherhood mutants, remains in place in light of the poor public image she and her brother have. After all, they had not only been willing members of their father's terrorist organization, but led it themselves for a time.
Having gotten close to someone doesn't mean that she's not above manipulating them if the ends justify the means. In one instance, the Ultimates were pit against Thor and their only hope of winning regaining the upper hand was for Pietro to get close enough to steal Thor’s belt. After many failed attempts that left Pietro electrocuted and injured, Wanda played on his protective nature and quick temper to goad him into to one more attempt by telling him that Thor had hurt her and almost broken her nose. Even with the very close relationship she and Pietro enjoy, Wanda sees nothing wrong with playing on her brother's own personality traits and attitudes to effect the reaction she desires. One way or another, if she wants something to happen she will use whatever tool that is at hand to make it happen.
Wanda has her moments of empathy and softer emotions of course, but these displays are rare and not bestowed lightly on others. Of all of the people in her life, Pietro is one of the few that sees Wanda as herself. When they’re just with each other, she’s more open and light-hearted. She’s more given to teasing him and being more outwardly affectionate, as well as relying on him emotionally. Their relationship is very codependent but the dynamic has never been hobbling.
The TL;DR version is that Wanda started out a happy child with magical powers that scared and intimidated her, and a father that came to manipulate and terrify her. His influence warped her into a blindly obedient mutant supremacist until through other circumstances she and Pietro were forced to live outside of the bubble that was their life in the Savage Lands. Through working with the Ultimates she's slowly been evolving into someone closer resembling the girl she once had been. Using a dismissive and judgmental front as a means of defense less and less, Wanda is slowly learning to adjust to what we would consider a normal, everyday life. Well, one that includes fighting Chitauri, Norse gods and robots while maintaining a close relationship to her brother (that people often misinterpret) and slowly developing closer bonds to her other teammates.

[Wanda doesn't wait to use the communication device once she has it in her hands. She may be without her own phone or even a Stark comm, but something is better than nothing when trying to get in touch with her brother, her teammates, or anyone with any useful information. Intending to exercise caution, Wanda uses the text function rather than video or audio and carefully types out her post. Then she rereads it. Edits. Rereads it again. Finds it lacking all the same. Wanting answers sooner rather than later (who knows how long it will take to find the right words?) she turns the device on with the video function and broadcasts.]
Good afternoon, my name is Wanda, though I'm known to others as Scarlet Witch. I'm seeking my brother, or news of any teammates or allies that may or may not be here. If you're familiar with Iron Man, Hawkeye, Captain America or really any known associates I'd appreciate some direction to them. Ultimates or SHIELD agents would also be acceptable I suppose.
[Even if Fury's proven himself to be untrustworthy. Wanda pauses, clearly debating what more to say. She lifts a hand to run her fingers through her hair before reluctantly continuing.]
That aside, it's my understanding that my time in this temple is limited and that despite my being here against my will, I'm expected to find lodgings and a job to support myself. Toward that end, if anyone can direct me to clean housing or an employer who may have openings that do not include manual labor, I'd be grateful.

Wanda's not so unobservant as to not notice that her collar is slowly tightening over time, she's just been stubbornly refusing to deal with it in the way that's expected. Oh, she may have the choice in who she goes to when it comes to seeing it loosen once more, but the fact remains that she's still being forced to get intimate with someone whether she wants to or not. She likes sex. Quite a bit, in fact. There were several mutants she enjoyed the company of back when she'd been with the Brotherhood of Mutants, and even a couple she hadn't had the opportunity to be with as she would have liked. It's her pride that keeps her holding off for so long. She makes contacts, collects allies, even befriends a few other collared in her time here.
But she doesn't proposition anyone.
Now it seems she doesn't have a choice in the matter, and as Wanda tugs at her collar with a dark expression on her face, she finds herself debating her options. Practical in the face of potential injury or even death, Wanda makes a list in her mind. There are some few people she's met that would be acceptable. She enjoys speaking to them, they've proven themselves capable of intelligent conversation, and more to the point she's attracted. There are others she might consider as well, but only if pushed to make a more desperate decision.
Then, of course, there's also the possibility of taking her chances at any number of establishments meant to put collared in touch with one another, or other places still that would take her money in exchange for some time with another...That last option doesn't sit well with her, however. She may have nothing against others going to brothels and the like, but quite frankly, it's once more a point of pride that she's never needed to pay for sex and she's not about to start now.
This of course leads her thoughts back to those she's met before and the possibility of taking up with a stranger. Exhaling with a sigh, Wanda rubs a hand over her face and sits up. Maybe she doesn't have her magic here, but she's put her fate in the hands of odds and probabilities. Perhaps it's only fitting that this first time she does so once more. She'll continue on her normal routine and take the first viable opportunity that comes her way, be it someone she knows already or someone new who she happens across. Putting on a fresh coat of lipstick as she prepares to leave her rooms, she finds that the one silver lining to her circumstances is that at least her brother isn't around to see her brought low by magic of all things.
