Character Information
Character Name: Natasha Romanoff
Canon: MCU
Canon Point: Post Civil War
Species: Human
History: Here.
Personality: It's difficult to explain exactly who Natasha Romanoff is because, in the end, Natasha Romanoff doesn't even know the answer to that question. When she was a very young girl she was recruited into the Black Widow program, forced to train in the Red Room during her most developmental years, and beyond the physical combat and mental steeling there were two things that were ingrained in her; she never fails, and she is only a shadow. Natasha believed that for years and, admittedly, still believes it in her lowest moments, causing her to doubt her abilities when it comes to being a person, and not an assassin.
Her training in the Red Room shaped her into the woman that she is, a violent and lethal weapon capable of taking down threats that hold more strength than she. She's agile and fast, manipulative and sly, but all of the traits she's managed to 'gain' had never been truly gains at all, instead being masks she's learned to perfect over the many years she spent being other people. This has caused a bit of a crisis for Natasha when it comes to being herself, because in the end, Natasha doesn't know who 'herself' is. After being liberated from the Red Room by her close friend and teammate Clint Barton, it took Natasha a while to recover from the fact that she had been all but brainwashed into thinking that she was less than human, and she switched sides to instead fight for S.H.I.E.L.D who, at the time, she thought was a force for good. In reality, Natasha traded in on mask for another; she was still committing espionage and killing people, she just thought they were the Bad Guys. The real Bad Guys, not the ones that the Soviets had pointed out.
To find out S.H.I.E.L.D was nothing more than a cover for H.Y.D.R.A shook Natasha to her core, although she refused to let it show on the surface. Perhaps she could make an excuse for becoming the Black Widow, having been absconded at such a young age and forced into battle without knowing what her true options were, but to willingly trust S.H.I.E.L.D after she thought she had switched sides was a serious blow to her self certainty. She questioned whether or not she was capable of telling the difference between good and bad at all, but she found comfort in her friends, a precious rarity for someone who had lived her life. She saw men like Clint and Steve as good, truly good, and truly good men wouldn't see good in her unless it was there. Natasha held onto that, and found comfort in the fact that, although she couldn't trust her own moral compass, she could trust theirs. Her loyalty to her friends is unwavering because of this, as they define her, and the person who she wants to be instead of the person she afraid she really is.
Throughout her life, Natasha never made a decision that was truly her own, having been following orders for as long as she could possibly remember. When she was asked to sign the Sokovia Accords, Natasha did so out of both a sense of obligation to protect innocent lives and a desire to keep the team together. The Avengers was the first place that Natasha didn't have to wonder if she did good, she knew she did, and preserving that was all she truly cared for. It didn't work out that way, however, and although Natasha worked hard to try and bring her teammates together, she failed in the end, something that she alone takes the blame for. After making the call to save Steve and Barnes, Natasha went into hiding, effectively putting herself away to keep herself from doing any more damage to the world if left unchecked.
So what does that mean about Natasha as a person? She's slow to trust, and yet is willing to give those viewed as suspicious the benefit of the doubt, because Natasha knows better than anything the struggle that is redemption. She has a dry and witty humor that's used around those she finds comfort in, while simultaneously harboring the ability to terrify the unfortunate souls who stand in her way. Her loyalty knows no bounds when she finds someone that she truly cares for, and yet she's switched hands so many times she doesn't even know who she answers to anymore. Natasha Romanoff is a walking, talking contradiction, and all that can be truly said about her is that her actions are birthed in good intention.

Is fourth walling acceptable for your character? Yiss
If yes, are there any restrictions or notes you'd like other players to know? Noo
Would you like to volunteer your character to be a selected target of the Anti-Special Society (ASS)? Omg yes please, Natasha loves her some ASS play.
Due to past trouble with Specials, some have been given specific trigger phrases to assist in controlling their traitorous tendencies. Does your character have a trigger phrase and if so, what is it? I want to say no but I'm too mean to say no so, Serpentine, Alianovna.
Do you agree that your character will be held accountable to the terms of Treason and Punishment if they are found to be guilty of treason? Of course. To do otherwise would be an act of treason!
