PLAYER: Jess CHARACTER: Yelena Belova CANON: MCU PREVIOUS CANON POINT: post-Black Widow, around the time of the stinger scene NEW CANON POINT: Post-Hawkeye
CHANGES: There isn’t a huge time jump here, but there is some important development for her. Yelena goes to New York to try to kill Clint and this gives her the opportunity to meet Kate Bishop and confront Clint and deal with some of her issues surrounding Natasha’s death.
She comes away from her fight with Clint kind of raw, but starting to feel some closure about her sister's death. She knows now that her sister loved her, even if they didn’t get to spend much time together. She is also at least a little more willing to acknowledge that Clint and Nat cared deeply for each other and Clint wasn’t just using her somehow. In general she understands that Nat made a choice and no one could have stopped her, and Yel needs to figure out how to accept that. This might be painful in the short term, but long term it should be helpful, especially after having lost Nat again in-game when she vanished during the Braccia mission, since that stirred up a lot of grief that she’s been sitting on.
She also develops something of a connection with Kate Bishop, which is significant because it’s the first time in canon she’s connected with someone who’s not a Widow. Her positive impression of Kate combined with her closure with Clint should help her be a bit more open minded about heroic types in game.
