Other characters: N
Participated in DF endgame: Y
IN-CHARACTER:
Character name: Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow
Character journal:outstandingbalance
Series name: Marvel Cinematic Universe
Canon notes: Natasha opted to stay after Drift Fleet, a choice informed by her recent Avengers: Endgame canon update. For Natasha, Drift Fleet ended about three months ago, and since then she’s been having an unofficial, informal honeymoon with Winter, the DFAU version of Bucky Barnes.
Species: Human
Age: Late 30s.
Arrival Condition: Alive and uninjured.
History: At first blush, Natasha’s time in Drift Fleet hasn’t changed overtly, and she is deeply still the same character she was in canon. That doesn’t mean nothing is different. Natasha has always had an acute awareness of the flow of information, but her experience in Drift Fleet, where her canon mates might remember the same events as her at wildly different time if at all, has led her to play information close to the vest when she can even with most of her close teammates. It’s less to do with a desire for secrecy specifically than the fact her last two canon updates included incredibly traumatic information and she’s seen the way new information can tear the group apart, especially when people who don’t have first hand experience of what happened start devoting their mental and emotional energy to those “future” conflicts. In some ways that’s led to her isolating herself emotionally. It’s also led to her being proactive about comforting people about things that affect her more closely than them, including her own canon death.
The largest exception to this also represents the other biggest development in Drift Fleet. After months and months of dancing around the issue, Natasha formed a close romantic relationship with the Winter version of Bucky Barnes. The relationship started as a sort of alliance, then developed through shared experience and flirting, and finally came to a head after calibrations left Natasha in a particularly vulnerable emotional state. Their relationship became very strong, and a sort of emotional touchstone for Natasha, and her greatest source of emotional support.
Personality: Outwardly, Natasha’s is a reserved, pragmatic woman who prefers to try to keep a cool head and a sense of perspective and not let her emotions cloud her judgment. While this makes her valuable in dangerous, high pressure situations it also means she is sometimes willing to make compromises sacrifice her personal comfort or happiness. Given the choice between the mission and her own physical or emotional wellbeing, she will always 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.
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 left Natasha somewhat more brittle and intense, even with the additional support she’s received in Drift Fleet.
Pets: None.
Abilities: Natasha has no superhuman abilities, but she is an expert spy and assassin, with a skillset to match: she’s an except martial artist and marksman, speaks multiple languages, is skilled in infiltration and interrogation, and she’s a better than competent hacker.
Personal Item: Utility knife she bought in Drift Fleet.
Drift Fleet Evidence: Natasha was in the last Drift Fleet AC round.
