[AIM / messenger]: QueenMarie1793
[series]: The Avengers [Marvel film]
[character]: Natasha Romanoff aka the Black Widow
[character history / background]: Natasha's life in Iron Man 2 and then her background in The Avengers.
[character abilities]: Natasha is a gifted linguist. She knows several languages fluently such as English, Russian, French, Latin, and German. This allows her to easily assimilate into any mission. Because of her intimate knowledge of many languages, she also knows many customs and will constantly practice certain hand gestures or other social graces to successfully infiltrate the enemy be they foreign. Natasha is an excellent strategist as well, able to look at a situation and figure out the best possible route to accomplish the mission. When not on a solo mission, she is always the candidate for field commander when a team is considered (except for the Avengers of course).
Natasha's most feared weapon, however, is her body. A trained martial artist, gymnast, and dancer, Natasha's body strength is something almost unnatural. She's very skilled at hand-to-hand combat. With unparalleled strength, she can take down a serious army of individuals without ever being touched. She is able to grapple with the most formidable of foes with her thighs, getting them in a headlock before delivering a blow. Her gymanstic and ballet training gives her excellent balance which is always an advantage in fights, never letting a combatant get the best of her.
Despite her feats of strength, Natasha does know how to handle a gun very well. She is listed as a skilled marksman in terms of sharpshooting and knife-throwing. Natasha's file also reads that she is a master interrogator. One of her proudest moments was when she tricked the god of mischief into revealing what he had planned for Dr. Banner despite the fact that she left herself open to his manipulation in the same breadth. While the boys were fighting, she kept a level head to come face-to-face with the demigod that killed 80 people over two days. Another one of Natasha's abilities is computer hacking. She can hack into almost any computer system without tripping security or firewalls, even though Hammer's system was probably riddled with weak spots.
[character personality]: Natasha is the poster child for self-control. She almost never loses her cool and is almost stone-faced at all waking moments. She even sleeps calmly. This she credits to her training as a spy from an early age. She was taught to deal with her emotions internally and to never show the enemy that they'd reached her weakness, whatever that might be. It's safe to say that if Natasha is visibly reacting to torture, she's pulling your chain. Because of her self-control, she keeps her voice at a constant decible, never raising it unless she's shouting from afar. She does use inflection when she's joking around or something amuses her, but for the most part her voice is soothing. One's voice can also reveal weakness.
Natasha also doesn't like to mess around. She hates bullshit even if her job can be classified as a professional bullshitter in laymen's terms. If there is anything that would break her steely constitution, it would be bullshitters. She can deliver snarky comments, but if you do it repeatedly to derail a serious conversation, she won't hesitate to take you into a headlock. But Natasha isn't all work and no play. She likes to toss around jokes and laughs when she has the time. It's a great relief in her line of work.
Another of Natasha's most notable traits is her loyalty. Her most prolific fidelity is to her partner Clint Barton also known as Hawkeye. He ultimately saved her life, going against orders to assassinate her, and her life has changed for the better. She is recognized not just for her deadliness like she had before S.H.I.E.L.D, but also for her skills that make her a master spy. But her loyalties lie deep for life. She would fight to the death to reclaim any person she is loyal to in the event that they have been compromised or even defected. In a way, her loyalty reveals her possessiveness. Just like with Loki, she would do anything to get back what is rightfully hers.
She's also very determined. Whether this is a by-product of her Russian heritage is up for speculation, but one thing is for certain: her stubbornness is endearing. Natasha can be overwhelmed by an opponent, such as with the Chitauri, but she will brush off her reticence and get right back into the brawl. When you give Natasha an objective, she will stop at nothing that to complete that object. S.H.I.E.L.D has the perfectly trained spy on their hands.
[point in timeline you're picking your character from]: The end of the Avengers film
[journal post]: [Children are laughing and screaming over the video feed. Natasha's at the playground, her profile viewable in the feed. Her red hair is made even more red because of the sunlight. Her voice is steady, amused.]
I was practicing backflips when I slipped and fell and... I landed on that jungle gym. Scared the kids, but the parents acted like it was pretty normal.
[She looks down at the device she'd found in her pocket.]
I guess Stark decided to wax my floor. I never slip and fall when I'm doing floor exercises.
[third person / log sample]: Natasha was woken with a start by a ringing in her head. Her eyes opened wide as she laid in her bed in her new apartment. The ringing was.. loud, but it wasn't ear-splitting. It wasn't that familiar ringing sound that occured in the inner ear. They said it meant people were talking about you. No, this ringing was something deeper - Natasha could feel it in her mind. Slowly, she sat up and looked around her apartment. No one was there to make the sound and there was nothing in her room that was making the sound either. Natasha shook her head, which seemed to make the ringing go away, and she headed into the kitchen to make a cup of coffee.
It wasn't long after the coffeemaker had finished its brew that now a ticking sound filled her head. She paused in pouring her cream into her cup and looked around. Was that a clock? Did she have an unnaturally loud clock in the apartment? Jesus Christ. With her coffee cup in her hand, she investigated the entire apartment. As she moved, the ticking got louder and louder. She grabbed every clock inside, shaking them and holding them up to her ear. No, it was none of these - she could hear the smaller clocks ticking on top of the louder ticking. This was troubling her and as her day went on, it was maddening. It wouldn't stop. Did she hit her head on something in her sleep? No, it was impossible. She would wake up in the same position she fell asleep in the night before. She barely even twitched in her sleep.
The ticking had gotten to a point that she was forced to turn to the network of various people within the City for an answer. Within five minutes of her post, the replies began to flood in. As Natasha replied, she hadn't even noticed that the ticking eventually faded until she was sitting in complete silence, her fingers rapidly typing away at the keyboard.
