( Post Canon AU History )
Canon Point: About a total of three years post canon.
Appearance: Wanda is a young and slightly wary-looking woman who at age twenty has abandoned both the Goth clothing and limited color scheme for a wardrobe that varies widely according to her purposes--but never includes the color red. She is half-Roma, with thick, slightly wavy hair that is very black, her Polish father's pale skin and blue eyes, and a tendency to paint her lips and nails crimson and kohl her eyes like a femme fatale in a hard-boiled Forties mystery. Though she is still slightly thin for her frame, ongoing combat and athletic practice has given her good muscle definition. She speaks with a light Eastern European accent.
Wanda sometimes dresses up a little, but she never wears anything she can't run or fight in, and still prefers steel-toed boots. Her updated uniform is leather and kevlar, less revealing and more military-looking. The entire thing is dark indigo, from body armor to features-concealing night vision goggles. If she goes out at night, she's wearing it.
AU Aspect: Wanda's additional canon history gave her an opportunity to recover from her childood some, heal her heart, train and find a new reason to fight--even if her target is largely the rich, corrupt casino owners and other wealthy individuals whom she sees as preying on everyone else. A magic-powered, Romani Robin Hood type as likely to use subtle magic and trickery as yank out the big guns against a cosmic threat, Wanda is no longer the vengeful, destructive and slightly anti-human Scarlet Witch. She does not even acknowledge that she is a mutant very often, and stays entirely out of mutant affairs. Her only family members are Agatha and her foster parents, her people are the Roma and the Salem Tradition witches, and she does not discriminate. Like her canon counterpart, she still dreams of vengeance against Magneto and Xavier, and holds her brother in disdain. But instead of doing them harm, she has simply withdrawn, only leaving Mount Wundagore to make money for her family and occasionally beat up bad guys from behind the visor of a new costume. She is more mentally stable, friendly and anarchic, just as camera-shy (she tends to instinctively make them glitch out) and cares about people of all races--but not social convention or the law.

( Post-Canon Power Refinements )
Possessions: Her uniform, two sets of clothing (a jeans set and a slinky black silk slip dress), 18-hole Docs, battered sneakers, photos of her family, a $1000 wad of cash various purse contents, a small (animatable) wooden doll that her father carved, her study grimoire with notes on her current assignments, her communicator.
