Background / History
Wanda was born in Sokovia in 1989. Chen Xi's intervention changes the course of her life: she does not join Hydra and never gains access to the Mind Stone, leaving her Scarlet Witch potential unawakened. She instead becomes Chen Xi's secretary and lives with him as his girlfriend. 1
Although she initially lives a relatively quiet domestic life, Chen Xi considers her physical vulnerability unacceptable for someone with latent Chaos Magic. Rather than subjecting her to a traumatic awakening, he obtains a Perfect T-Virus Serum to strengthen her body first. 22
Appearance
Wanda is described as attractive and elegant, with a look that becomes more mature after her physical enhancement. She has favored red clothing since before becoming the Scarlet Witch. 11 57
- Often wears red, foreshadowing her Scarlet Witch identity. 11
- Later becomes leaner and develops a more mature charm. 57
Personality
Wanda is deeply attached to Chen Xi and values an ordinary, secure home life over becoming a conventional superhero. She openly admits that she would rather support her partner and raise a family than seek out violence. 43 48
Her aversion to war stems from losing important family members to conflict. Despite this, she does not remain passive when others are endangered: she challenges Chen Xi when he acts recklessly, trains to protect their world, and volunteers for dangerous operations. 37 97 110
She is initially envious of others who gain powers, but that insecurity develops into ambition. Given responsibility for the gaming-helmet project, she proves capable and determined not to be treated as a mere ornament. 23 53

- Manifests as crimson energy. 59 76
