Wanda has also demonstrated the power to create and shape holograms to entertain or to help her explain about any event or incident better.

Unbeknownst to her, it is possible for her to make her illusions temporarily physical, though this would take much of her power.

* **Witch Sight:** Wanda can see things beyond what normal humans can, such as the ghost of Agatha Harkness. It is unknown why she has the ability, but Agatha believes something in her DNA reacted more strongly to the Salem cloud, allowing her to have powers closer to that of a witch.

## Skills

* **Defense Training:** Wanda has been taught basic defence by her father, and since running away, has learned how to survive on the streets.
* **Occult Knowledge:** Due to both her own research and the teaching of Agatha Harkness, Wanda has broad knowledge about the occult that existed in the 15th Century.

## Weaknesses

* **Overextension:** Despite this enhanced precision, her hexes were not necessarily guaranteed to work, particularly if she had been straining herself or using her powers excessively. If overextended, her hexes could backfire, causing probability to work against her wishes or to undo previous hexes.
* **Perception Range:** Her range of hex-casting is limited by her line of sight. It should be noted that some of her stronger or stranger powers may not be so limited.
* **Mental Illness:** While she has never suffered any major breakdowns, it is important to note that she can lose control of her powers if she is in a poor mental state. She became aware of this after a panic attack nearly destroyed the cell she had been kept prisoner in.

## Personality

Wanda is a strong, determined individual who doesn’t take shit from anyone and will do whatever she has to to keep herself, her friends, and her fellow Salem alive. She feels things very deeply and has a strong sense of responsibility, especially when it comes to other Salem mutants.

## History

Wanda was born 17 year ago in what used to be Serbia. Abandoned by her biological parents, her and her twin brother were adopted by a poor couple from the Black Eye district. She grew up happily with her family, learning to survive in the vicious district and following a growing interest in the occult.

Although their family life was overall happy, it didn’t come without its hardships, money and resources being tight, and after a major fight with their father, Wanda ran away, Pietro following her. Though they quickly decided to return home they were sadly kidnapped by the rogue scientist, the ones who would create the Salem Mutants, before they could. One of their earliest experiments, designated the Scarlet Witch by the scientist who experimented on her, she was one of the 300 people to become a Salem Mutant.

For unknown reasons, whatever experiments they performed on her seemed to give her a stronger connection to the original witches than the other Salem, and she began to see the ghost of the original Salem witches leader, Agatha Harkness AKA Priestess X. Agatha taught Wanda how to use her newfound powers, and how to use more traditional magic. Eventually, Wanda was able to use her powers to escape, bringing as many of the Salem as she could with her. She set up shop inside an old hangout of hers in the Wastelands, known as The Hostel. Now she, her brother, and her friends fight to protect themselves and liberate their fellow Salem.
