Canon: Marvel Cinematic Universe

Appearance: Look at this HBIC
Canon Point: Post-Endgame
Background: Wiki link!

Personality:

• Natasha’s background and training have made her a reserved woman who prefers to try to keep a cool head and a sense of perspective. She was trained to view her own emotions as a potential weakness and not let them get cloud her judgment.


• It also gives her a pragmatic outlook. She’s willing to make compromises and to occasionally take an ends justify the means position.


• Even when that means sacrificing her personal comfort or happiness. Given the choice between the mission and her own physical or emotional wellbeing, she’ll choose the mission.


• Her sense of humor tends to be dry, occasionally flirtatious, and is often used as a deflection mechanism to turn attention away from her actual opinions, emotions or history.


• She also often uses humor as a coping mechanism when faced with a grim situation.


• She is strategic in how she deploys her emotions when she does display them. This can take either the form of emotional manipulation (as when she’s trying to get information from Loki) or emotional reciprocity (such as when she’s trying to connect with Bruce). This doesn’t mean the emotion is fake, but rather that she’s inclined to use her real feelings as a tool when circumstances demand.


• Despite her generally cool demeanor, Natasha cares deeply about her friends and when someone earns her trust and offers her theirs, she will do everything within her power to deserve it.


• Natasha has an impulse to do the right thing both as a way to make up for her past misdeeds and for the people who believed in her ability to be better. She wants to be the person her found family believe she has the potential to be.


• She is a person who is made better with the support of the people around her.


• The events of Infinity War and Endgame have added a brittleness and an intensity to Natasha’s personality. She’s taken on more and more responsibility in an effort to cope with her grief.


• She’s less patient than she once was, more pointed, and more likely to try to micromanage situations—even those out of her control.

Weaknesses/Temptations:

• Because of her background, Natasha lacks confidence in her own moral compass.


• Her pragmatism can lead to her making moral compromises.


• She’s often attracted to the path of least resistance.


• Despite being strongly independent and self-contained, Natasha has historically had a hard time asserting her agency.


• She’s prone to repressing her emotions, denying them to the point that she makes mistakes in not considering them.
