Biography
Childhood
Having grown up with her mother's Gypsy caravan and knowing who her father was, and is, she struggles to find her own place in things. Magda Maximoff was the daughter of surviving Holocaust survivor's and all three strove to instill many lessons in Wanda. She also had no qualms in telling her children exactly what Magnus did and why their father was not allowed to contact them. Wanda grew up rather torn between the desire to protect her mother and the desire to met and get to know her father.
Wanda's, and her twin brother Pietro's, powers emerged when they were 12 and a angry mob accused the caravan of stealing from them (which was, actually, rather true. Wanda was normally used as a "mark" to draw people to her and someone else would do a bit of pickpocketing). Amid thrown rocks, someone drew a gun and shot one of the men in the camp. Furious, scared, and confused Wanda instinctively lashed out. She managed to knock down a large tree in her panic and the mob scattered. Unfortunately, she was too much in shock to remove herself from the path and only Pietro's intervention with his just emerged power saved her. Growing up, she and Pietro were inseparable until he left when he was 15 to find Magnus.
Magnus had gotten into contact with his separated wife but when she demanded that he move to where they are so she could watch him in case he was still a danger, he had to pick between his wife, who had left him, and his children, who didn't remember him, and the dream he and Charles Xavier were building. He choose the dream but every once in a while sent letters to Wanda and Pietro. Wanda paid little attention to them but never knew how much Pietro clang to those letters.
She has really never gotten over Pietro's leaving and has some rather large trust issues and she has never forgiven for leaving, especially once Magda (Note: Magda was very ill when X2 come around. When the Great Headache hit, it caused her to have an aneurysm and she died not long). Since then, Magnus himself has contacted her once asking her to join her brother and father in his attempts to further mutantkind. She refused and asked only one thing out of her father…that if he were to ever come for her, that only he or Pietro would come. Magnus agreed and Wanda has spoken not to him since. She does trade letters with her brother once a month, though she still does not understand why he left.
Thanks to Magda's own lack of formal education, she did all she could to make sure her children could get as much education on the road as possible. From home schooling, Wanda then went onto correspondence courses and eventually managed to finish her Master in Social Anthropology with a minor in Archaeology. Wanda has added to her caravan's travels by going out on her own to study other traveling groups, so she's seen a good bit of the world
