Sarah Stark

## Biography

### Childhood

Sarah Stark is the middle child of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts, stuck between her two sisters, Serenity Stark and Morgan Stark. She was born on a cold Tuesday in December in the middle of a blizzard. She grew up in the spotlight of her father along with her sister, the two girls feeling like they needed to keep up a specific image. She grew up in the tower her mother and father built in the middle of New York, her father's security and trusted friend, Happy Hogan, taking care of her and her sister as they grew up while their parents were away on business trips.

She and her sister going to the International Academy of New York, a very prestigious private school in the Upper West Side of the city, in their elementary school days. Even though she was the daughter of a very famous billionaire, she had a lot of trouble fitting in in school. She didn't have many friends growing up, and her only friend was her sister, and she barely talked to her because while Sarah just started kindergarten, Serenity was in fifth grade. But she even lost her when she went from elementary school to high school, and after that, Sarah was alone. All of her friends outside of school went to public schools, but while she was in school, she was by herself. She sat alone at lunch and sat along the wall reading rather than playing with the other kids at recess. She really made no effort to make friends, since she knew that anyone that she did try to be friends with was only interested in her father and meeting him, so she really didn't see the point in having friends.

At the age of seven, her father went missing while he was away on a trip for his business out in Afghanistan. She didn't go to school for the entire time that he was away because she was too upset to do anything than stay home. Serenity told her that she needed to grow up and that he would be home soon, but she was so young that she didn't know how she would survive without her dad, as most little girls did. When he did return, she threw herself into his arms and cried, so scared that if she let go of him, he would disappear again. As the year went on and her father took on the persona of Iron Man, she was afraid that she would potentially lose him again, but she trusted him with the things he did since her mother did. She was there for the press conference when he told the entire world that he was Iron Man.

When she moved on to high school herself, she was thrown into public school with no idea how to handle it. She attended Midtown School of Science and Technology, her sister graduating from there three years prior to her attending. While in school, she met Peter Parker, and the two of them became friends very quickly. The two of them were inseparable and were really each other's only friends during their first two years of high school. When their sophomore year came around, she was introduced to Ned Leeds and Michelle Jones, and the four of them became the best of friends, and still are to this day.

When she was a junior, she was one of the first people to learn that her best friend was Spider-Man, since he saved her from getting jumped in an alleyway one night as his alter-ego. She was walking home from grabbing a bite to eat at the local diner with MJ when she cut through an alley to get back to the city center where she lived, and someone came out from behind a dumpster and tried to take her purse from her. Spider-Man jumped down from the rooftop above and fought him off, webbing the mugger to the wall before getting her out of there. When the hero spoke to her, he asked her by name if she was alright, and that's what gave him away. Plus, she recognized his voice, so it didn't take her very long to figure out who was behind the mask. She swore to keep his secret, and would always defend him whenever he needed to run off on account of his "internship".

She graduated from Midtown with straight A's and got a full-ride scholarship to MIT thanks to her father's alumni status, his help with the school, and the grades she received. She decided not to go attend the school on campus but rather took her classes online so she could focus on helping her parents with the company, and help her dad work on his suits.

### Stark Industries

Sarah grew up in the height of her father's company and was later appointed as her sister's right hand when she was seventeen. She helped out her mother design the different things that the company would be building, such as buildings and different weapons and the suits her father wore. She no longer helps with the company anymore, since her sister has really taken over her position and didn't need her to help her anymore. She still helps design her father's suits on occasion and does repairs to the various buildings that his company has built as they need them, but otherwise, she isn't very involved with the company.

### A Part of the Avengers

When Sarah turned eighteen, Tony decided that she could join the Avengers, starting off as ground control and helping the team from the tower when they needed to go on a mission. She also helped her father design and repair the suits of her fellow Avengers when she wasn't on missions or off on patrol. Her father didn't like her going on big missions with them since he didn't think she was skilled enough to and she was too young, so she mainly stayed local and was like the neighborhood watch for the Avengers. But, before she was even considered an official member of the team by her father, she helped them out in the Battle of Sokovia in one of the S.H.I.E.L.D. helicarriers and took down one of the Ultron minions when they burst through the window.

Later on in her time with the Avengers, she helped them fight off Thanos on Titan, and then later fought him again when she returned to Earth after she came back after the Decimation.

## Attributes

### Skills and Abilities

* ***Mixed Martial Arts —***  Sarah was trained in a variety of martial arts from a very young age, including Karate, Jiu-jitsu, taekwondo, kickboxing, and wrestling. Natasha also trained her to be more graceful with the skills she's learned, allowing her to use different stealth moves to take down hostiles undetected.
* ***Swordsmanship —***  Though she doesn't use swords as her weapon of choice, she still knows how to wield one. Clint Barton trained her in the craft starting when she turned fifteen since she visited the Barton farm a lot to hang out with his youngest son, Nathaniel Barton.
* ***Marksmanship —***  Guns are her weapon of choice, along with occasionally using a crossbow, and a technology that Natasha developed for herself, but she later passed it on to Sarah, called Widow's Bite.
* ***Gymnastics —***  She has taken gymnastics classes since she was little, and she uses the things she's learned in her classes when she's fighting and taking down enemies. She also learned how to be lighter on her feet through those classes, allowing her to slip past people with ease.
* ***Engineering Skills —***  Through the help of her father and the things she's learned in school, she's adept in many things having to do with engineering and mechanics. She's built suits for her father and herself, and she also helps with repairing suits and weapons as they get damaged. She draws up designs for new projects for her father and sister and draws up plans for things the family company is going to do for her mother.
* ***Hacking —***  With her skills in technology, Sarah can easily hack into any computer and security system, allowing her to sneak past cameras and get past hostiles without being detected by security.

### Equipment

#### Weapons

* ***Widow's Bite —***  Just like the ones Natasha uses, Sarah wears two bracelets on her wrists that emit an electrical current in order for her to take people down. Whether she fires the weapon from a distance or uses it for close-up attacks, the electrical current is powerful enough to potentially knock someone unconscious. The weapon also fires taser disks from a range of two-thousand feet.
* ***Blaster —***  Sarah designed a blaster for herself when she was seventeen, but she has yet to use it. It fires powerful blasts of light, much like the blasters that were used by the Chitauri army when they invaded New York in 2012. The one she made isn't as powerful as the one that was used by the alien army, but it packs a pretty good punch.
* ***Electroshock Batons —***  Another weapon given to her by Natasha, she carries two batons on her back that emit an electric current of 500 volts when they make contact with something. They have a mean sting, and they have the power to potentially cause someone to go into cardiac arrest.
* ***Glock 17 —***  The Glock 17 is a 9 mm short recoil-operated, locked-breech semi-automatic pistol. She uses it for close-to-medium-range attacks, keeping two of them in holsters strapped to her thighs.
* ***Katanas —***  Rarely using these in a battle, she will sometimes use them when she is in battle with Nathaniel Barton since he uses katanas as his chosen weapon. Otherwise, she sticks to projectile weapons.
* ***Crossbow —***  She was trained by Clint on how to use a crossbow and was even give one by him, and she has a modified one that folds into the shape of a gun so she can easily stick it in her holster.

#### Vehicles

* ***Motorcycle —***  Sarah has an advanced motorcycle that she designed and helped her father build. It's equipped with F.R.I.D.A.Y. in the dashboard, and on command, it can shift into anything she desires, from a hoverboard to a submarine to a jetski.
* ***Quinjet —***  She has learned to fly the Quinjets they use to get around from mission to mission and sometimes will be at the helm of one when she joins her team on missions.

#### Suits

* ***Iron Widow —***  A sleek, black, carbon fiber catsuit that was designed by Sarah, Natasha, and Tony, it conforms to her body and can deflect bullets of any caliber. She has had several marks of the suit that she wears, upgrading it every time that she rebuilds it. The suit itself collapses into a bracelet that she always wears, thanks to the Nanotech her father developed.
* ***Stealth Uniform —***  She has a stealth suit that is made of reflective material. She uses it on night missions so she can easily blend in with her surroundings.
