Powers:
Abilities:
Weakness: Wanda's weakness is her fragile mental state combined with her want for a family and the desire for hers to be together again.
Paraphernalia and Equipment:
Personality: Often seemingly quiet and reserved Wanda is a caring person who longs for nothing more than to be reunited with her brother and father and to have a family of her own too. She will however speak her mind when something bothers her and is quick to anger should anyone make a remark about her family that she feels is unwarranted. Generally though she is a kind hearted soul.
History: Born at the Wundagore base of the High Evolutionary, Wanda and her twin brother Pietro were eventually placed in the care of a Gypsy couple named Django and Marya Maximoff, from whom they were separated as teens when their encampment was attacked. They were later recruited into Magneto's Brotherhood of Evil Mutants and, as the Scarlet Witch and Quicksilver, they fought the X-Men. At the time, none of the three were aware of the siblings' paternity. They soon abandoned their terrorist activities, while Magneto was imprisoned by the Stranger, and joined the Avengers. The remaining founding members had all gone on a leave of absence, leaving Captain America to lead an all-new lineup including Wanda, Pietro, and the archer known as Hawkeye. Although she became more adept in her power's use, Wanda did not realize that she was tapping into genuine magic. It was believed that the Scarlet Witch would have been an ordinary energy manipulator or perhaps simply able to cause bad luck if not due to Chthon's attempt to use her as a pawn.
Wanda fell in love with the synthezoid Vision, an artificial being created by Avengers foe Ultron who joined the team rather than fight them. The Scarlet Witch eventually married her teammate, the android Vision, not realizing that they were manipulated by Immortus, who sought to prevent Wanda from having a child (Wanda was actually a key figure, or nexus being, to her reality, and her children would have power to shake the foundations of the universe). Wanda eventually drew on magic energy to give birth to twin sons, William and Thomas, but this energy was eventually revealed to have come from the demon Mephisto, who reabsorbed them, effectively ending their existence. Wanda had also reanimated her deceased mentor, Agatha Harkness, through whom she cast a spell to make her forget her children in order to ease her pain. Though Wanda later recalled her loss, she suppressed this memory over the long term. After his reformation, The Vision and Wanda no longer shared the closeness they once had.
While both were serving as members of the Avengers West Coast, Wanda also grew to love Wonder Man, the man whose brain patterns had been used to form the Vision's mind. Both were among the former AWC members who opted to form Force Works after the team's dissolution. As the leader of this new team, Wanda used a 'hex mainframe' computer designed by Iron Man. Through her powers and the computer's calculations, they could proactively determine where the team was most needed rather than react to an alarm or breaking news. Although Wanda was appointed team leader, she often clashed with Iron Man overriding her orders. She was deeply saddened by Wonder Man's death on the first mission of Force Works. After rejoining the Avengers, she used her increased powers to resurrect him, although his ionic energy likely made him able to be restored. For some time, Wonder Man was mostly a cloud of ionic energy that Wanda had to summon.
Training with Agatha Harkness increased Wanda's control of her 'chaos magic.' Even after Agatha died her astral form continued to assist Wanda. However, at least some of this training may have been an illusion made by Wanda herself.
In years after, Wanda remained in her role as a longtime Avengers mainstay, salvaging her relationship with the Vision as best she could - although sparks also appeared with Captain America towards the end of her Avengers tenure - the moment she brought the team to its lowest moment ever recorded.
The Scarlet Witch seemingly gained powerful reality-altering abilities from "Chaos Magic"; however, this proved to be an uncontrolled aspect of her mutant power and created a great mental strain on her. An unintentional remark by team-mate the Wasp about Wanda's lost children apparently drove her over the edge. She suffered a nervous breakdown and lashed out with her new power, subjecting the Avengers to a savage assault and apparently killing Agatha Harkness and some of her teammates. Others were injured or affected by various odd outbursts and incidents. The remaining Avengers gathered including a number of reservists. However, it appeared some of them were more illusions created by Wanda.
Doctor Strange appeared, sensing abuse of magic, and angry that he had not been notified of Wanda's recent problems. Strange was forced to use the Eye of Agamatto on Wanda, which apparently showed her a memory so horrible she went into a catatonic state. From then on she remained hidden away from the rest of the world even during the alien invasion. She vowed that until she had regained a grip on reality and would not place any more people in danger that she would remain away, hidden by her own magics. It is only know that she has decided she is stable enough to rejoin mainstream society.
RP Sample: The world had changed, she knew that much even from her hiding place. The echoes of change having reached her through the reverberations of her own magic. Perhaps it was time for her to find her family once more. Her Father whom she missed dearly and her brother who she missed even more, what had become of Pietro in her absence? Was little Luna still in his care or had she rejoined her mother upon Attilan? Had he reconciled with Crystal? There were so many things she wished to know about her family and yet she worried, would they accept her back into the fold after the many things she had done to shame them?
She took a deep breath and opened her eyes "Time to return to the world" she whispered to herself. She reached out feeling through her magic for her fathers presence in the world, letting it guide her. With a flourish of her hands, some concentration and a great deal of scarlet light Wanda found herself levitating above the grounds of the Xavier Mansion. She knew that Xavier was no longer here, she had felt her fathers pain at his passing but could not have returned at that time, her mind not yet stable enough. It surprised her though that she should be drawn here by her fathers presence, had he turned over a new leaf? She hoped so for she would need his forgiveness to get her through the coming weeks and months as she faced those old friends and allies she had harmed so much when her mind had crumbled and let loose her powers to have a devastating effect.

Powers:
- Chaos Magic Reality Warping
- Hex Bolts
- Flight
- Teleportation
- Astral Projection
Abilities:
- Expert Knowledge of Sorcery: Wanda was trained by Agatha Harkness in witchcraft. Her sorcerous training has not given her a set of powers separate from her mutant abilities, but only honed her control over her existing abilities. She has, however, a special affinity for the natural elements and materials that witches utilize in their spells: the four alchemical elements, wood, organic substances, etc.
- Expert Combatant: Wanda has also been trained in hand-to-hand combat by both Captain America and Hawkeye.
- Expert Tactician: When sane, the experience and leadership skills that come from years of active duty as an Avenger.
Weakness: Wanda's weakness is her fragile mental state combined with her want for a family and the desire for hers to be together again.
