Arrival Condition:Yelena might have a concussion and some cuts and bruises, but other than that, she's unharmed.

History: Here
Personality:“The greatest child assassin the world has ever known,” were words that were spoken directly to Yelena; yet it was something that Yelena never would have chosen for herself. She had always craved the freedom that her sister had attained by defecting. Instead, she stayed put, training and working, developing a pessimistic attitude towards life and the world in general. Yelena never wanted to have to use sarcasm and straight-faced humor to deal with her life. She felt that humor and sarcasm were the only ways she could deal with the disappointment at being left behind.
Yelena, however, is a more complex person, despite how the Red Room molded her. She is cynical, but she somehow also remains hopeful. She believes that there is a future where she can live her life on her terms and own a dog if she wanted to. She never wants bad things to happen; she hopes that things will be good again, eventually. She may be pessimistic on the outside, but she is truly a hopeful and optimistic person. Yelena had a great deal of faith in Natasha, which is why she gave the antidotes to her, trusting that her older sister would know what to do. She is somewhat bitter but trying to be better.


Yelena does have a moral compass; it’s just bent. She is a driven person and likes to take the shortest route to her goals. For instance, holding a man at gunpoint, threatening to kill him, instead of figuring out an easier way. Asking nicely is not something that even occurred to Yelena. She told Natasha that “You don’t need to be nice if you’re about to die.” Her way of doing things isn’t always as messed up as it might seem. She knows the difference between doing a good thing and doing something bad. She just chooses the gray area more often than not. A prime example is when she stole a car so she and Natasha could make their escape. While technically she knew that stealing was bad, she justified it as being essential to her survival and that no one had gotten hurt. Yelena feels deep remorse for everything she was made to do under Dreykov’s control, and that is why she fights tooth and nail with Natasha to put a stop to the Red Room. She wants everyone to feel the freedom she has found since getting the antidote. Her moral compass may need a little work, but it’s not something a lot of therapy couldn’t fix.


Her family is the main force that drives Yelena to act the way she does. She is distrustful of almost everyone in her path, except for her “family” growing up in Ohio. She regards them with the fiercest loyalty she possesses. She believes with her whole heart and soul that what they had in Ohio was real. Even as an adult, after everything that she experienced, she thought that she still had a family in Natasha. She became visibly upset when Natasha told her it wasn’t real and kept repeating “it was real to me.” over and over. She allowed herself to be comforted by her “Father,” Alexei to comfort her with the song American Pie. She is willing to forgive and forget much more easily, the longer she has had the relationship.


Abilities:

Master Martial Artist: Belova is an extremely skilled and formidable hand-to-hand combatant and martial artist, has been going through the training of the Red Room since a young age in order to become a Widow. She was able to fight Natasha Romanoff, evenly, matching her move, for move before they had a truce. During the fight, she employed a wide variety of throws and locks. Compared to Romanoff's more acrobatic style of fighting, Belova has a more direct and hands-on way of fighting that seems heavily influenced by Sambo. Belova is able to quickly use her surroundings to her advantage and use random items as improvised weaponry. She was also able to easily fight off several surgeons at once while escaping the Red Room, and being able to quickly incapacitate a guard by disorientating him and sweeping his legs out from under him.

Knife Mastery: As a Black Widow, Belova is highly skilled at using a knife in combat, being able to use it to quickly kill a former Widow and later use it in her fight against Romanoff. Belova was also able to quickly throw a two-inch blade into a Red Room surgeon's back with great accuracy while making her escape.

Master Marksman: Belova is highly skilled and well-trained in firearms, including pistols, sniper rifles, and grenade launchers. She could target the tower of the Russian gulag from a long distance.
