"It's Barney. Not Charles. "

She doesn’t even bat an eye; just shrugs.

“Okay. Call me Frankie.”

Appearance

5′1, slim with natural red hair

Facial features closely resemble Nat but she has Bucky’s eyes

Multiple scars all over her body, most notably in the middle of her chest (see this solo - heed the warnings)

History

Originally simply called 'Foxtrot' from the NATO alphabet

Chose to go by Frankie after escaping and took on the Romanoff name when she found out about her parents

Was kept separate from the other widows outside of training to "other" her and keep her reliant on HYDRA

Skills

Trained with various weapons (usually prefers knives)

Speaks Russian, English, Spanish, French, Italian and Portuguese. Is currently learning ASL

Taught herself to hunt and whittle while on the run

Is an excellent mimic, can replicate voices and even some animal calls

Misc

She's very touch-starved - once she decides someone is a friend she'll be casually affectionate with them as long as they're comfortable with it

She's been terrified of hospitals and medical procedures since she was young, partly due to HYDRA's experiments

Frankie tended to avoid spending much time with the Avengers; she felt like a ghost of the mother she'd never had chance to meet, had lost count of the number of times she'd caught someone staring sadly at her, so outside of work she usually kept to herself.

Unfortunately that wasn't always possible, and she finds herself outside Tony's workshop with widow bites in hand. It takes a minute but she gives herself a mental shake and knocks firmly.
