Background / History

Lorna grew up alone in harsh circumstances, surviving by picking through trash and operating in New York's slums. Her exceptional power and forceful personality allowed her to become the young leader of a gang, though she maintained a strict rule against harming children. She used heavy smoky makeup to seem older and intimidate her subordinates. 53 104 377

During the Battle of New York, Lorna encountered Xi Nian again, learned that Peter had been captured, and took the unconscious Wanda to safety. She kissed Xi Nian, allowing him to acquire and fuse aspects of her abilities through his Lord of Kin power. 59 60

Lorna later revealed vulnerability beneath her boss-like façade. She feared showing weakness before her subordinates, relied on Xi Nian when a severe fever left her unable to stand, and became the target of Killian's human-experimentation scheme because of her mutant genes. 124 125 127

She dissolved her gang to pursue an education, becoming Wanda's classmate and sitting beside her at school. After graduating junior high, she returned to New York and used her old funds to establish a five-star hotel staffed in part by her reformed former subordinates. 160 187 188 337

Lorna eventually disclosed that she, Wanda, and Pietro are half-siblings: all three are children of Django Maximoff. Before revealing this connection, she had secretly watched over Wanda and Pietro from afar, protecting them from local threats and searching extensively for Pietro after his disappearance. 405

After confessing her love to Xi Nian, Lorna later disappeared during childbirth within an Energy Absorption Space, taking her Mind Stone necklace and Dimensional Ring with her. She and her daughter, Little Moon, spent years wandering the multiverse, eventually seeking a path back to their original world. 377 446 574

In a Nepalese town in 1700, Lorna helped the Ancient One resist a spatial rift caused by Dormammu. Xi Nian ultimately found her, and the family reunited after centuries of separation. 575 576

Appearance

Lorna is a petite green-haired mutant whose appearance shifts between an intimidating gang-boss image and a more youthful, refined presentation.

• Dark green hair; later described as waist-length while traveling the multiverse. 59 573
• Light green, emerald-like eyes. 59
• Initially wears heavy smoky eye makeup and dark lipstick to project maturity and authority. 59 104
• Without makeup, she has a fair, doll-like face with features resembling Wanda's. 104 128
• As an adult, she is tall, androgynous, and often wears formal suits or battle armor. 337 340 353
• Wore a white gown for her confession to Xi Nian. 377

Personality

Lorna is proud, direct, fiercely independent, and intensely competitive. She insists on being recognized as Xi Nian's “boss,” dislikes being treated as helpless, and will use unconventional tactics to win even a casual game. 105 235

Her domineering exterior conceals considerable vulnerability. She fears appearing weak before her followers, is deeply affected by the prospect of losing Wanda, Pietro, or Xi Nian, and gradually learns to rely on others rather than facing every danger alone. 124 345 346

Despite her underworld background, Lorna possesses a clear moral code. She punishes subordinates who prey on children, protected Wanda and Pietro before they knew her identity, and repeatedly risks herself for family and allies. 53 405 575
