I loved the TV show, and unfortunately, I have to scratch my desire for Matt Murdock XD I'm using my all-encompassing OC but mixing the ATSV and JW profiles to make this DDBA one. Hayley is a little ball of nerves, but she's actually adorable when you get to know her better.

Master Assassin: Hayley is one of the best female assassins. She earned her reputation and nickname when she killed the people responsible for the death of her family and the slaughter of her village at just 9 years old. Since she was recruited by the H.A.N.D. Hayley was trained to become an assassin. Her ledger is red with the blood of the thousands of people she killed. She takes pride in her work as an assassin, but only when it comes to killing vile people. Her preferred method to fight is to be as fast as possible and kill everyone he encounters until she reaches her targets.
- Master Marksman: Being both a trained assassin as well as a former Belgian Secret Service agent, Hayley is proficient with a variety of firearms, including pistols, revolvers, rifles, and shotguns, as well as being able to precisely eliminate targets from a long distance.
- Master Martial Artist: Hayley is a skilled martial artist and hand-to-hand fighter. Her fighting style consists of Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, karate, capoeira, and Krav Maga. She can quickly outmaneuver, outmatch, or simply outlast her opponents, even being capable of taking on multiple enemies at once. Hayley can adapt to his opponent's fighting styles, studying them during the fight and adapting to negate their strengths. She also sometimes makes use of dirty tactics such as striking the groin, gouging the eyes, or even biting.
- Anger: Hayley's anger can sometimes blind her. She doesn't know what to feel aside from pure rage for her childhood and the constant heartbreaks and betrayals she had to face. Her anger comes from her low self-esteem and the perception that everyone will abandon her. When enraged, she doesn't think much and goes for the throat.
- Mortality: Although Hayley is an incredible enhanced human, she is still mortal and is still susceptible to dying via injuries, illness, or very (very) old age.
- Gullible: Hayley is very naive. She trusts people and can be easily manipulated by someone who can catch her low self-esteem. Her naivety caused her so many troubles in her past that she had to learn to see through the lies. (It's still in progress)
Fatalism: Hayley isn't sure she can escape the life of an assassin. She's convinced that Fate can't be disturbed, and it chose them to be the harbinger of death. This could make her feel defeated, and her fealty to the H.A.N.D. makes it very difficult for her to stray from her education.
- Fire: She also suffers from a fear of fire inherited from when she was a baby because the special unit that slaughtered her family set fire to the house before they found the baby. She was old enough to sit and crawl, and although she doesn't remember the events, the fear, pain, and feelings of solitude she felt during the attack resurface whenever there is a fire.
Family:
- Mother: [name redacted. Deceased]
- Father: [name redacted. Deceased.]

Universe: DDBA
Status: Alive. Active.
Personality:
Due to her harsh background and being rigorously trained for her childhood and adulthood by The H.A.N.D and her career in the Belgium Secret Services, hayley could be described as a very serious and stoic individual who rarely speaks more than is necessary (preferring actions over words and being described as someone who never wastes words) with a strong sense of obligation. As a professional assassin and hitman, Widowmaker is highly confident in her abilities and reputation, being greatly respected by many criminal organizations and other assassins alike.
Despite this, she has a strong moral code as well as honor, which is rare among her colleagues, as Phoenix never willingly dragged innocent people to her job or threatened them during it. She abhors former colleagues who do so and would personally go after them if she witnesses them kill innocent people (especially children). Despite her professionalism, she is also friendly and develops strong friendships with many other dangerous people, like the Punisher or Moon Knight. She even got the respect of the Kingpin for her deeds of the past, and among her former colleagues of the H.A.N.D. or former figures such as Elektra, she is also well-respected due to her moral code and skills. Her good side is mostly seen when she interacts with children; it's one of the very few moments she could genuinely be herself, and she reveals a kind and loving heart despite how hardened it has become.
However, Hayley is a woman who is worth her reputation as the Daughter of Death for her lethality, as he never failed on his missions. Despite her calm and collected behavior, once angered or taken by vengeance, she will stop at nothing until she kills her target, no matter who or what stands in her way. Despite her skills, Hayley isn't a knight templar and is willing to first talk and negotiate if it's possible. She doesn't hesitate to come to the aid of her friends and could even spare her enemies. Her strong sense of honor also means she protects innocent people from getting caught in the crossfire of her work.
Fictional Character Biography:
Most of it is a mystery. What she's willing to share with the few people who are close to her is that she was raised and trained by The H.A.N.D., and their manipulation ended up turning her into an enhanced individual. She broke free from them once she felt a strong desire to be in control of her own life and help people rather than kill them, but it led to even more struggles. She went to Hell's Kitchen because she felt it was the only place she could try to make a difference.
Current history:
She has retired from the H.A.N.D. and is officially working at a shelter for battered women. She seemingly has abandoned her past violent behavior, but at night, she goes and punishes the violent spouses her clients escaped from. She beats them to an inch of their lives but refrains from killing. She had her run-ins with Daredevil, and the two became partners. She's the reinforcement he needs on certain missions. He's trying to talk her into joining Heroes for Hire, but she's reluctant.. They are also starting a relationship, but their mutual guilt makes it difficult for them to make it work. The Hand was not destroyed, but the Defenders, quite the contrary, as they are starting to make their presence known.
Trivia:
-She has a slight pain addiction.
-Hayley drinks a lot of hard drinks (Vodka is her favorite), but not that much. She doesn't like it when she's drunk because she's not a happy drunken woman.
-She is deeply in love with Matt, but feels that she's not worthy of his love because of her past as an assassin.
-She used to have a dog, but later had to kill it to prove her loyalty to the H.A.N.D. Since then, she wants to own a dog but is afraid something might happen to it, and therefore is blocked when it comes to making a decision regarding owning a dog or not.
