## Personality

Black Widow can be characterized as secretive, mysterious, and tough as nails. She is a loyal and understanding agent. She'll do what she must to finish her mission. Sometimes she gone soft on the job on Hawkeye. She is shown to show feelings and a trusting friendship with Hawkeye, as he was formerly her partner but still a close friend. She is shown to be quite protective of him too and likes to tease him, best seen when she kissed him on the cheek in Beneath The Surface while the two were pretending to be a couple. She feels bad for framing her partner, even if it may blow her undercover attempt to HYDRA.

Black Widow is a true asset of the team (and possibly, their only female member), she has shown to be the kind of person to keep the team together and remind them of their places. For example, she helped Iron Man realize that he is an effective leader of the Avengers. Although she is a fully-fledged and respected member of the Avengers, she is only literally with the team when it suits her and when it counts as Tony said he believes her more loyal to S.H.I.E.L.D.

Despite her seriousness and maturity, she has a sardonic sense of humor which she directs mostly at Hawkeye and her enemies. When she was in the Hulk's body and fighting a robot she yelled; "Widow smash!," indicating her funny for the sake of its side.
