Timeline:
1996: Born on July 18 into the Chang family. This was during the time when China only allowed one child. As she was born a girl and they preferred to have a son to carry on their family line, she was given away to some Russian visitors. Those visitors returned the infant to Russia's Red Room where the child, now called Jianyi Chang, was given the serum that all Widow's undergo. Thus, sealing her fate.
* 1996-2005: Focused training in the Red Room to include mental and physical conditioning. Proved to be a natural with computers and mechanics.
* 2005: Jianyi is moved to the Science Class, due to her computer aptitude. Her focus was main on computers and robotics.
* 2007: Move back to the regular Widow program as she was not quite on level for the Science Class. She was good but she was not a super-genius like many in that area and thus, she was sent back to continue field training.
* 2011: Due to her combination of Field and Science Class focus during her training, she is chosen for a specific assignment in the United States. She was sent to the U.S. to attend a senior year in a high school under the new identity (simply for establishing identity) and was accepted by Stanford University upon graduation. She graduated high school at the age of 17.
* 2012-2018: Attended Stanford, working toward Master's degrees in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. During this time, she was working a variety of Red Room assignments involving theft and assassinations.
* 2018: Gained her master's degrees. Began work on her doctorate. Was captured by SHIELD during an assassination attempt. During the next year while in custody, SHIELD was able to counter her brainwashing and conditioning. She opted to remain with SHIELD though she was being monitored at all times. It was at this time she chose the name Monica legally.
* 2020: Monica earned the trust of SHIELD with her performance and after multiple psychological tests including have a telepath clear her of being any danger to her new employers. She currently splits her work between the Robotics and A.I. Division and field work.

Personality

ExpandClick to expand.

Curious:
Monica likes to understand things. She is one to have a lot of questions and dig until she gets the answers. This particularly applies to things: How they work, what makes them tick. It helps with her career choice, but it also can be dangerous as she might be curious enough to push limits that shouldn't be pushed against. Like the proverbial cat, this trait can sometimes be a negative.

Focused:
Monica is extremely focused. This is something that was a part of her nature before her training in the Red Room. When she is trying to achieve a goal, she does not quit. She doesn't stop. She doesn't let things go unless given a very good reason. She will sometimes work on a project for extended periods, to the point someone might need to remind her to eat. Or sleep.

Tact Is Overrated:
Certainly, Monica understands what tact is and how it is a necessary part of life. It is a way to be sensitive to the feelings of others and keep a conversation from escalating into an argument. Yet, she doesn't have to like it. She prefers to be more upfront and honest, rather than mincing words. Which can sometimes lead to annoyance on the part of the person she is speaking to.

Temper:
One of the more negative aspects is that Monica does have a temper. While it isn't bad enough she'll be endangering any ops, it is bad enough that if someone annoys her, she may very well tell them about it instead of taking the higher road and letting it go. This is because of a lot of anger she holds inside due to how she was raised and the world she was once a part of. She doesn't work through it in a way that is healthy and thus it sometimes comes out when she isn't expecting it.

Longevity:
Due to the serum from the Red Room that was given to her, Monica's aging is slowed. She aged normally until she reached her twenties and now it has practically stopped. Meaning, she will look like she is in her 20s for a very long time. While it isn't immortality it's about as close as one might get.

Peak Human:
Monica's body works at peak human levels due to the Red Room equivalent of the Super Soldier Serum. This includes her strength, durability, speed, and stamina. She can function for long periods without rest. She has a stronger immune system than a human, meaning she is resistant to diseases. Her body will heal four to five times faster. She won't be growing back any limbs, but a broken bone will take just a couple of weeks to knit back together fully.

Skills

ExpandClick to expand.

Combat:
Monica is a Black Widow. She has been trained in combat from the time she could walk. She has mastered multiple martial arts such as Krav Maga, Karate, Jiu Jitsu, Judo, Capoeira as well as lesser known ones such as Sambo and Systema. She can take on multiple skilled opponents at the same time and still usually come out on top. She is not as skilled as some of the other Widows as she is younger, without decades of experience under her belt. She has been fully trained with most types of weapons, from swords to knives to nunchaku to firearms. She can also think on her feet to improvise when necessary.

She is an excellent shot, with stationary or moving targets. She is an expert on guns and can take care of them as well as using them. She's trained in most types of firearms up to rocket launchers. While she won't know every model perfectly, she has enough knowledge to easily figure out a new weapon should it be necessary on the fly.

Computers:
Monica is highly skilled in the use of a computer. She knows several computer languages and can write programs. She can hack high-level computer systems or create programs to do it for other agents. She can even read binary, though that's not really a skill that translates to anything helpful typically outside some trivia when at a party.

Dance:
Monica was trained in dance, with a focus on ballet. This was part of the covers used often in the Red Room. Once on assignment in the U.S., she expanded to other types of dance. Ballet she would be good enough to be the prima ballerina, though she generally was more a member of the troupe and less in the spotlight. Other types, she would be good but not great unless she devoted more time.

Espionage:
Monica was trained in the Black Widow in the Red Room. She is an expert in all areas of espionage such as information gathering, infiltration, security, disguise, etc. She is good enough to get in and out of places unseen when necessary. She can play any role she needs to, being a consummate actress to play the roles assigned. This cover can be kept for years if needed. She can lie with the best of them, without any telltale signs that might set off a polygraph machine. In turn, she is an expert at reading others through body language, micro expressions, and study of human behavior. This allows her to often detect if someone is being untruthful, though not always. She also has been trained in survival, city or the wilds. She could stay alive on her own with minimal to no supplies.

Fitness:
Although she is in peak physical condition due to the serum given in the Red Room (See Powers Peak Human), Monica actually enjoys staying in shape. She has a good knowledge of nutrition and exercise. She will workout usually at least a couple of hours every day, keeping herself strong and her form quite toned. This can involve running, swimming, free weights, cross fit, martial arts, etc. She has enough expertise she could make a living as a personal trainer.

Languages:
Monica can speak multiple languages. These include Russian, Mandarin, Cantonese, Japanese, English, Spanish, Arabic and Hindi. She knows a little French and Italian but not really enough to be conversational. Just the odd words here or there.

Mechanic:
Monica likes machines and that has translated to a love of vehicles, particularly motorcycles and old cars. She can build a car from the ground up and troubleshoot when there is a problem with one. This includes both antiques and modern vehicles.

Polymath:
Being trained as a spy, Monica has learned a lot of skills over the years for the roles she had to play. This means she has a little knowledge on a lot of subjects. She could sew her own clothing. At a fancy function, she knows which fork to use. She can act as a field medic or she could play tennis or ride a horse. It's all little random things and she isn't going to be great at them, but she does have just enough to pass in a lot of areas.

Robotics:
Monica has master's degrees in Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. She is working toward her doctorate. She is able to help maintain, program, analyze, and write programs needed. With SHIELD, she works with Life Model Decoys on a regular basis in addition to creating new technology that helps the agents.

Resources

Caches:
Monica has few caches hidden around in case of need. These have money, blank identification, and weapons (Nothing too extravagant, just various firearms.) She has these in three places in New York City. She has a couple of stashes in Europe as well. They are just there for a rainy day.

Garage:
For fun, Monica likes to build things, particularly cars and robots. As such, she has a garage she purchased for just such purposes. It's an old business converted into a home, with an apartment upstairs and the garage downstairs. All the necessary equipment is in place and working condition. This allows her to keep her various vehicles which include a Harley Davidson motorcycle, a 1968 Chevy Malibu SS she rebuilt herself, and a few other antique cars/motorcycles she's working on.

Robots:
As part of her work with SHIELD, Monica has access to various robotics. These include Life Model Decoys and drones of varying designs (from simple camera designs to 'thinking' models that are designed for infiltration). The use of these is by the book as they are SHIELD owned. She could potentially build her own drones at home if she wished as she has the knowledge to do so.

Shield:
Monica works for SHIELD. She splits her duties, spending half her time in the Robotics and Artificial Intelligence Division and the other half as a field agent. She has access to SHIELD technology and resources. She also receives a good salary, giving her a comfortable lifestyle though not anything excessive.

Weaknesses

ExpandClick to expand.

Killer:
As an assassin, Monica has killed many people. Some of them were innocents. That is something she has to live with now that her conditioning has been broken. She will still kill as needed in the performance of her duties for SHIELD but that is because it is what she knows and, as odd as it sounds, she's good at it. This sort of thing is not accepted by most people though, particularly if they learned about her early activities as a Widow.

The Red Room:
Monica was a graduate of the Black Widow program. As such, she is an asset that the Red Room would like to recover. She has to keep her eyes open at all times.

Widow Persona:
There is a dark side to Monica. She likes the violence of being a Widow. On some level, she enjoys it. As an abused child can become an abuser, she knows she has those tendencies inside her. Thus, she has to keep it under careful check or only tap into it only in controlled situations. When this side of her comes out, she considers it to be her Widow Persona (though there is no actual other personality at play).
