▷ First impressions
▶ APPEARANCE & FASHION: Natasha is a slim, attractive woman of average height with bright red hair that reaches slightly past her shoulders and that she often puts in various kinds of braids. Her wardrobe changes according to the needs ─ when she's in official meetings with politicians, she wears formal suits or dresses, when on a mission she wears skin-tight catsuit uniforms, and when on her own, she prefers to wear easy and comfortable shirts and trousers.
▶ DEMEANOR & ATTITUDE: Since she tends to suppress most of her emotions around other people, Nat may come off as somewhat cold and indifferent at times. She's pretty down-to-earth, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to have fun ─ she'll crack jokes now and then, and is overall rather easy to get along with. It takes her a while to warm up to people enough to trust them, at which point she might even allow herself to show feelings such as fear or sadness, but even then, she tries to avoid appearing vulnerable at all cost. She sometimes hides her real feelings behind sarcasm and sass, but she cares deeply about and is very protective of people around her. She's a bit of a flirt, too, and won't hesitate to use her charms to get her way, or simply to mess around for fun.
▶ VOICE: the basics of Widow
▶ MAGIC & TELEPATHY: She's one of the most normal people in the MCU, having no magical powers nor artificially enhanced abilities whatsoever. She has a lot going on in her head, and not all of it is pretty.

▶ PHYSICAL AFFECTION: Sure thing; Nat is used to using it as means to an end and doesn't shy away from it if it benefits her. With the people she's closer with, she's also likely to express herself with genuine affection, such as hand-holding or hugs.
▶ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: Absolutely! She's an action superhero, so she's far more skilled at fighting that an average person, but at the same time, she's still only human.
▶ RELATIONSHIPS: Nat enjoys flirting, but more often than not, she doesn't truly mean anything by it. A part of her does long for a romantic kind of relationship, so it's not entirely out of question, but it would take her a long time to get over her guilt and regrets to the point she could actually believe she deserves to be happy and loved.
▶ PSYCHIC & PSIONIC INFORMATION: Feel free to peek into her mind! There's a lot of going on there for sure, depending on the situation, and there are tons of horrifying memories of being conditioned into becoming a cold-blooded killer and carrying out countless assassinations. It's mostly pain, murder and loneliness, but there are a few good things there, mostly related to the Avengers. Feel free to hit me up for more info regarding any particular situation!
▶ MAGICAL INFORMATION: 100% normal human over here, nothing magical to speak of.
▶ MEDICAL INFORMATION: She's fit as a fiddle, very flexible, and perfectly healthy.
▶ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Nothing in particular, though the subject of her past is a bit of a sore spot that she'll probably omit if she's not close with the other person.

WARNING: Natasha's past involves her being conditioned into becoming an assassin from a young age and committing ruthless crimes for a good chunk of her life. Feel free to let me know if you prefer me not to bring it up in threads, or if you want to opt out of anything at all!
