Yelena Belova: Office

Yelena Belova Alias: Black Widow Gender: Female Nationality: Russian Age: 33 Height: 5'5 Appearance: A short and toned slim figure, with short choppy light blonde hair, fair skin and pink lips. Clear green eyes with distinct blue eyeliner on the lower lids, and wears tiny white hooped earrings. Personality: Having spent most of her life in the Red Room, Yelena Belova is a cynical person with a very sarcastic, deadpan sense of humor, with a bit of a bent moral compass as she notably had no problem holding a civilian at gunpoint and stealing his car to evade from pursuers, much to Natasha Romanoff's chagrin. Despite this, Belova does have a strong sense of right and wrong, having no problem with helping Romanoff take down the Red Room and freeing the Black Widows from being held against their will. Having felt abandoned by her family, Belova notably has a strained relationship with her adoptive parents and older sister, telling them outright how betrayed they made her feel when none of them came back for her. Despite this, Belova still cared and loved them, admitting to Melina Vostokoff that to her she will always be her mother, and telling Alexei Shostakov that he meant everything to her as a child. As she found out that Romanoff sacrificed herself for the sake of the humanity, Belova was blinded by grief and was quick to believe Valentina Allegra de Fontaine that Clint Barton was directly responsible for the death of her sister. Belova made it her goal to get revenge by killing Barton and called him a bloodthirsty murderer, while talking to Kate Bishop about his activities as the Ronin. Although Belova kept her laid-back and upbeat attitude, she was relentless in her resolve to kill Barton, despite helping out Bishop finding out about her mother's connection to Kingpin. In the final confrontation with Barton, Belova accused him of not stopping Romanoff from giving her life away and blamed herself for not being around to stop her. She was incredibly jealous of Barton who spent so much time with her, but Barton reminded her of what kind of person Romanoff was, which stopped Belova from killing him, as they shared their loss together. Afterwards, Yelena seems to have lost herself as she felt empty inside and a great deal of guilt over the things she did. She even thought about following in her sister's footsteps. When she met the other New Avengers, she started to feel a certain connection with them due to their respective tragic stories. She developed a deep bond with Bob because she understood his pain and specially the void he felt inside himself.

History: Yelena Belova (Russian: Елена Белова) is the adoptive younger sister of Natasha Romanoff, a Red Room operative who worked for General Dreykov as a Black Widow and a founding member and leader of the New Avengers. Following Romanoff's defection from the Red Room, Belova and other Black Widows were put through a mind-control program and turned into Dreykov's obedient subordinates. When she was freed from the Red Room's control, Belova joined forces with Romanoff, as well as their adoptive parents Red Guardian and Melina Vostokoff, to bring down the Red Room once and for all. They eventually succeeded and liberated all Black Widows, with Belova directly killing Dreykov. After parting ways with Romanoff, Belova spent two years freeing many of the remaining brainwashed Black Widows before she was killed by Thanos' Snap. Upon her resurrection in the Blip in 2023, Belova attempted to seek out Romanoff, but was informed that she had died. While visiting Romanoff's grave, Belova was given an assignment by Valentina Allegra de Fontaine, who claimed that Clint Barton was responsible for Romanoff's death and that she was to eliminate him. In December 2024, Belova came into conflict with Barton and his protégé Kate Bishop. Belova held back against hurting Bishop, and though she came close to killing Barton, Barton managed to get through to Belova and explain that Romanoff's death was of her own choice to save Belova and the world. Coming to terms with Barton and accepting Romanoff's death, Belova abandoned her mission and departed. Years later, a depressed Belova was still under the employment of de Fontaine until she sent her, along with other operatives, on a mission to kill each other in an attempt to get rid of any incriminating evidence while facing impeachment. Belova learned the truth and teamed up with U.S. Agent, Ghost and Red Guardian to escape getting assassinated by de Fontaine's forces, then they were recruited by Winter Soldier to help bring down de Fontaine and stop her plans to use Bob Reynolds as her own weapon. Belova and her team eventually saved both Manhattan and Reynolds from Void, and when they tried to apprehend de Fontaine, they were publicly declared by de Fontaine as the New Avengers instead, which she went along while asserting she and the others held de Fontaine's career hostage in case she turned on them again. By 2028, Belova was publicly known by the Black Widow codename and became an ally of Spider-Man to the point of exchanging numbers. As a result of the attack the Damage Control Westside Branch, Spider-Man went to Belova, who was relaxing in her office, which was actually a sauna. Spider-Man tried to get her help, but Belova stated that his problem was a small issue unlike what the New Avengers were facing, at most revealing that she heard that the recent attacks also had Damage Control's files being scoured for something called "V-MAX". Belova also advised Spider-Man on making new friends, wondering if he had a "Mrs. Spider-Man" and why he worked alone. Unable to get the New Avengers' help, Spider-Man left Belova as she went back to relaxing. Later on, Belova was video-called by Spider-Man from Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds' Apartment, informing her that he had discovered that Bill Metzger had lied about Jean Grey's motivations. Belova shared the information she found about Grey, her sister Sara, and the incident with Damage Control, which caused Spider-Man to realize that he was wrong about Grey. However, their conversation was interrupted by Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds, who were excited to meet Black Widow through the video call. Belova was pleased to see Jones and Leeds, now knowing that Spider-Man had people who cared for him. As the New Avengers, the team was supplied with new costumes and transformed the Watchtower into their headquarters. Fourteen months later, the New Avengers came into conflict with Sam Wilson, who was forming his own Avengers, which annoyed Belova as she felt that they were the official team due to the government's approval. Belova wondered who would be viewed as the real Avengers and asked Bucky Barnes to talk with Wilson, although he already did and it went poorly. Belova commented on how Wilson had filed for copyright, which was making them lose credibility with the public, as well as how they were not being informed about a space crisis that was happening. As Belova had a threat analysis run by the Watchtower, Alexei Shostakov revealed his idea for them to rebrand as the "New Avengerz," but Belova shut him down. They received an alert, so Barnes instructed Belova to pull up a satellite image and ready the jets. The team then discovered an extra-dimensional ship entering Earth's orbit.
