PERSONALITY AND CHARACTER ANALYSIS: Despite being roughened up at a young age, Maryana Novàk has a playful demeanor. Much of her playfulness is a defense mechanism and so is her flirtatious demeanor. She represses many emotions, but she doesn't let her tragic past stop her from being happy. She has a genuinely positive outlook on the world and is generally a positive and chirpy person. Very rarely does Maryana get upset, but when she does, it is usually when she has been pushed to her breaking point and she has a difficult time controlling herself when that happens. She also had to be manipulative growing up and she is still manipulative even when she doesn't have to be. She doesn't do this on purpose and she tries to catch herself when it happens, but sadly, it is engrained into her personality. No one can tell if she is being genuine or not, not even herself.
CHARACTER ARC: Maryana Novàk is an outlaw archer from Sokovia. Her parents died when she was a child and she was forced to fend for herself in the war-torn country of Sokovia. Archery was her way of rebelling against the tyranny in Sokovia and the war brought to her country by America. When she was nineteen years old, she was imprisoned during war, where she was abused. Maryana seduced her captors before killing them with her bow and arrow, which is how she got the alias Cupid. She resented the Avengers, namely Tony Stark, because his weapons contributed to the death and destruction of her country. She participated in political protests in Sokovia and considered volunteering for Baron Von Strucker before she realized how dangerous he was. She befriended two enhanced, Wanda and Pietro Maximoff, but was unable to sway them from taking part in Baron's experiments. When the Avengers arrived in Sokovia, Maryana attacked them, only to be thwarted by Clint Barton. She was unable to seduce and manipulate him, and became a prisoner for the Avengers. Ultimately, she befriended them and they let her go. Rather than siding with Hydra, she helped the Avengers.
