"I miss her, so so much. It's hard to not think about her when she's done so much for me to be thankful for. She's done so much for me that I'll never be able to repay now." ---Reina talking to Peter about Natasha at Tony's funeral
== Background ==
=== Early Life ===
Reina (Rae-nu; translates to Queen in English) was born to Grabriela and Mateo RoseWood on September 26 in Phoenix, Arizona. Seeing as both of her parents spoke fluent English, Reina grew up speaking English. However, her parents started teaching her how to speak fluent Spanish around the age of five. This caused Reina to sometimes mix the language (which earns plenty of stares from everyone around her.
Around this time, she also started to display a recessive trait from her dad's side of the family that is dominant in females. Mateo called up his mom, and Reina was sent to New York for a few years so she could learn how to control her powers. During the time she was in New York, Reina was homeschooled by her aunt Lucia, who was also homeschooling her quintuplets (all five being boys) with a set of boy twins on the way, and her uncle Deigo.
Once she was done learning how to control her powers, Reina moved back to Phoenix and started attending a private school called Phoenix Drop Elementary. Reina became very reserved, quiet, and introverted during the time she was being homeschooled. Most kids made fun of her about liking books so much and always having her nose in a book. However, on only one occasion, Reina snapped and roundhouse kicked a guy in the ribs across the grass outside during recess. Needless to say, no one ever teased her about it to her face again. Reina's older cousins were the ones who taught her how to fight, even though they were the ones who got beat up the most.
When Reina was about seven years old, her mom had an affair with another guy and had a son named James. After James was born, Gabriela started making breaks a nightmare for Reina. Reina slowly stopped getting presents from her parents for her birthday, Christmas, and Easter. This slowly caused Reina to go into depression without anyone, including herself, noticing it. After a few years, Reina got used to not being allowed to go home, due to her mother, and just shrugged when her roommates asked her where her presents were.
=== Apprenticeship ===
When Reina was visiting her grandma during the summer before her Freshman year, Aunt Lucia, Uncle Diego, their quintuplets, and their newly born twins, Reina met Natasha Romanoff (the Black Widow), who saw great potential in Reina. She took Reina under her wing and started teaching her how to fight properly (as well as use weapons). This angered Gabriela as Reina got to go out of state during her summer vacation to train under Natasha Romanoff.
Reina's go-to weapon, a spear created just for her.
Reina would travel to New York to train and work under Natasha during her summer break. During that time she learned how to control her powers, as well as wield a spear. Reina also got to design her suit that she changes the look of over and over (which is so that it reflects what she's feeling). As a gift from Natasha, Reina got a necklace with a pendant in the shape of Natasha's belt buckle, which she can use to contact Natasha.
When Reina was fourteen, her parents got into a huge argument over moving to New York for Mateo's job promotion and didn't talk to each other for a week, this happened to be during Christmas Break. Reina came home during the break and her mother forced her to do all the chores, which sparked another argument between Gabriela and Mateo. During this argument, Natasha Romanoff showed up and watched as Gabriela went to hit Reina with a chancla. Not wanting any more harm to come the poor girl's way, Natasha shot Gabriela in the chest and took James to his father.
While Natasha took James to his father, Reina packed her clothes as Mateo informed her school that she wasn't returning to school. As they arrived at the airport, the security guards wouldn't let them in until Reina called Natasha, who gave Reina and her father clearance to enter into the airport. At the airport, Reina changed into her suit a few minutes before Natasha arrived. Natasha had Mateo go on ahead of Reina as she wanted Reina to meet the rest of the Avengers for the first time. Reina was extremely nervous about meeting the other Avengers. When Natasha first introduced Reina to the group, they all looked at her like she was crazy.
Tony: "She's like ten."
Reina: "Actually, I'm fourteen."
Steve: "She's a child!"
Natasha: "She knows how to take care of herself. I've made sure of that."
== New School ==
When Reina settled into her new room, which she shares with her baby cousin Raina (Rue-nu; translates to peaceful in English). Seeing as she's only a few months younger than her older cousins, Reina starts attending Midtown School of Science and Technology with them once Christmas Break gets over. At first, Reina wasn't so sure about the new school, especially since her cousins would be there, but she started to like it about a month into the semester.
While sleeping peacefully one night in January, Reina wakes up to hear Raina screaming and crying. Rushing over to her crib, she finds Raina being chocked by her magical abilities, which shouldn't have manifested this early in her life. Reina picked up Raina, who instantly stopped screaming and crying. All of her magical abilities seemed to disappear and she could breathe easily and peacefully. When Lucia and Raimunda [Reina's grandma (Rae-moon-du; translates to the wise protector or wise defender) came barging into the room, they found Reina sleeping peacefully with Raina cuddled up next to her.
This continued to happen for the next month. During the day, when Reina had school, she was able to make some friends. One of them was a girl named Michelle Jones (MJ) and she invited Reina over to her house for a sleepover. Seeing as the last time Raina had almost died in her sleep was over a month ago, Reina felt safe saying that she would go. Reina was glad to spend more time with her friend as the two discussed the currents book they're reading, the ones they've read, and recommend some to each other.
Reina was enjoying the time and the girls were watching movies before going to bed when Reina receives a call from her aunt Lucia. Answering it, Reina hears her grandma and aunt sounding frantic and sobbing like crazy. When she asked them what's wrong, Reina found out that while she was away, Raina's magical abilities chocked her to death in her sleep. By this time, Reina had almost gotten rid of her depression and was coming out of her shell step by step. However, hearing this news, reset the whole process for her. Once Reina ended the call MJ gave her a comforting hug and the two listened to music the rest of the night.
== Civil War ==
"I need your help."
---Natasha Romanoff greeting Reina when she opens the door.
One day after school, Reina had just gotten home when the doorbell rang and she opened it. Standing there was Natasha Romanoff with a serious look on her face. Seeing as everyone in the house knew about Reina's apprenticeship underneath Black Widow, it wasn't too much of a surprise when Reina said that she had to go to Germany for a mission. Reina's father just told her that she needed to be back home before church on Sunday. With that, Reina changed into her suit and went off with Natasha to confront the other Avengers at an airport in Germany.
When Reina and Natasha had gotten to Germany, they made a circle around Captain America. Black Widow approached Captain America and asked him to think about the consequences if he decided to fight them instead of surrendering. Right before she did, another member of Iron Man's team appeared and stole Captain America's shield, he just happened to be Spider-Man. Seeing as her magical abilities enhanced a lot of her reaction time, Reina was able to dodge and be ready to fight when Captain America's team ambushed them.
Reina was busy helping the new member of Team Iron Man with taking down Falcon and the Winter Soldier, that she didn't even notice how the others were doing. Using her fighting tactics, Reina held Falcon at bay while Spider-Man took care of the Winter Soldier. Using her abilities, Reina managed to push Falcon away from her, accidentally knocking him into Spider-Man. Spider-Man went in pursuit of Falcon while Reina stayed on the ground fighting with the Winter Soldier, who complimented her on how great of a fighter she is. Reina just nodded her head and took him down as quickly as she could.
As Reina had knocked the Winter Soldier in Falcon, using a rather powerful kick, Spider-Man was able to trap both of them in his webbing. While Spider-Man was apologizing to the Winter Soldier and Falcon for their fight, Reina ran to join Black Widow and help her out. Reina rejoined her teacher and the rest of her teammates for a short standoff with Team Captain America. Vision tried to divide the pair with a powerful beam, which was fired from the Mind Stone.
Shortly afterward, however, the two teams began running at each other. Reina ended up fighting Scarlet Witch for a good portion of the fight until Scarlet had somehow managed to sneak up on Reina. The two fought some more, Reina using hand-to-hand combat until Scarlet Witch made her relive the night Raina died. This left Reina laying on the ground and curled into a small ball, shaking like crazy. Once the battle was over, Natasha found Reina laying on the ground and picked her up. Black Widow comforted the young teen on their way back to Reina's house. When she got home, which was the next day, Reina stayed in her room all day in her comfiest pajamas, only leaving to get snacks or food.
== Quince ==
Seeing as Reina is of Hispanic heritage, she gets to celebrate her fifteenth birthday like every other female Hispanic. She gets to have her very own Quince, yeah. During the last month of school, she's busy figuring out who she should invite, but ends up inviting everyone she has a class with. The next month is even crazier getting everything she needs for her Quince, getting fitted for her dress, finding the perfect venue, finding the perfect shoes, coming up with the perfect entrance, and enjoying her last few weeks of being a girl.
In the end, Reina gets a huge venue that costs millions and overlooks the Atlantic Ocean. When Natasha informed Reina about this, Reina was so happy and gave Natasha a big hug. She further went on to tell that if she, or any of the Avengers, want to come to the party then they can. With that, she hands Black Widow a nice-sized stack of invitations. Natasha thanked her and informed her they would pop their heads in sometime during the party.

Reina is a fifteen-year-old Sophomore at Midtown School for Science and Technology. Reina has curly caramel brown hair that reaches just past her shoulders, which she usually keeps pulled back and out of her face. In her hair, she has a few streaks of sapphire blue, signaling her abnormal abilities to her family members. However, it just looks like a fashion statement to anyone outside of her family. To go along with that, she has lilac purple eyes that most people question why she would wear lilac-colored contacts.
Reina is often seen walking around in a pair of leggings with a swim-themed or Harry Potter-themed shirt on under a nice, warm, fluffy cardigan. To top off everything, she normally wears a pair of converse, sandals, flats, or boots depending on the weather. Although, sometimes she may add a skirt or go full-on cosplay depending on what is going on and where she's going. She also always wears the necklace that Natasha gave her just in case she needs back-up.
For her first Homecoming, Reina wore a nice outfit she's worn to most of her previous school dances, and/or weddings she's had to attend. Her outfit consisted of a half-sleeved sunflower yellow dress that reaches her knees. The dress was covered in matching yellow lace and puffed out whenever Reina spun around. To go along with her dress, Reina wore a fluffy, soft honey yellow cardigan over her dress. Underneath her dress, Reina wore a pair of nice-fitting pebble grey Underarmor biker shorts that reach her upper thighs. To top off her outfit, Reina wore a pair of cloud grey 1-inch peep-toe lace-up heels with gold leaves decorating the top of the heel. Reina wore half of her hair in a waterfall braid that leads into a braided flower on the right side of her head. The rest of her hair was left down in beautiful ringlets, making her look like a celebrity. To top off everything, Reina put flower pins through the braids and wore her necklace.
For Reina's Quince, she wore a beautiful daffodil yellow sweetheart gown with skinny straps. The dress reached the floor and the skirt was covered in tulle making it look very poofy. The top half of her dress was covered in a sparkly silver design with a zipper on the back. To go along with her dress, Reina wore a pair of daffodil yellow flats. Underneath her dress, because one never knows when villains will attack, Reina has on a pair of tight-fitting pebble grey Underarmor biker shorts that reach her mid-thighs. To go along with her dress, Reina wore a rose gold bracelet with the word Princess on it and a rose gold ring with jewels decorating it in the form of a crown with the number 15 on it. She also wore the necklace that Natasha gave her just in case Reina ever needed to contact her. To top off everything, Reina's hair was down perfectly. She had half of her hair pulled back into a braided bow with one braid coming off of the bow and another braid on either side of the bow. The rest of her hair was left alone to fall in perfect ringlets down her back.
Black Lynx often styles her hair in either twin braids or twin plaits before going into battle. She wears a long-sleeved silver-grey bodysuit with a latte-colored skater skirt. In the middle of her chest is a dark outline of a lynx. Around her hips is a mocha brown belt that has a pouch on her right side, which holds her chapstick that can turn into her favorite spear. To top off her outfit, Black Lynx wears a pair of jade black 1-inch chunky heeled boots with gold lining the shape of an upside-down 'a'. Like every other outfit, she does still have on the necklace Black Widow gave her. To finish off her suit, Black Lynx wears a pastel yellow mask that only covers the area around her eyes. She also wears a pastel yellow headband to keep her bangs from falling into her face. She also has on a pair of mauve purple fireproof fingerless gloves.
