* BigEater: She doesn't stuff her face with food constantly but she does sometimes get quite invested in getting a good meal. She quickly begins making herself a pot of Mac and cheese in Kate's apartment. She's likely now indulging in what she couldn't before as a Black Widow, but she also might've gotten it from her dad Alexei given how he's shown to have become a hearty eater himself (time will tell if [[FormerlyFit that]] will catch up to her as well).

* WillfullyWeak: She has a lot more restraint while fighting Kate Bishop than she does fighting anyone else because she's fond of her and [[spoiler:likely also because her mother hired her to kill Clint so she might have been told to go easy on Kate by her.]]

* ActionGirl: Manages to hold her own against Natasha. Also: it should be remembered that when she was freed from her brainwashing, Yelena was technically surrounded by fellow Black Widows, no slouches on their own. The fact that she seems to have no injuries after that (save the one she self-inflicted to remove her tracker), compared to Natasha whose back has been CoveredWithScars over the years, speaks well of her too.[[note]]Of course, it had to be noted that the enemies Natasha fought over the years, namely the [[Film/TheAvengers2012 Chitauri]], [[Film/AvengersAgeOfUltron Ultron]], [[Film/AvengersInfinityWar the Outriders, and the Children of Thanos]]; are far more dangerous than the ones Yelena fought, not to mention being hit [[Film/TheAvengers2012 by the Hulk]].[[/note]]

* AdaptationalHeroism: In the comics, Yelena is a supervillain and an EvilCounterpart to Natasha Romanoff. Here, her worst crimes are committed while under mind control, and she's Natasha Romanoff's surrogate sister.

* ConspicuousTrenchcoat: During the finale of ''Hawkeye'', she attends the Bishop Christmas Party wearing a green trenchcoat to hide her SpyCatsuit and weapons in an attempt to kill Clint. One of the [=LARPers=] offer to take the coat away from her but she declines so that she does not blow her cover.

* PetTheDog: [[spoiler:Yelena shows in ''Black Widow'' and ''Hawkeye'' that, despite being a cynical assassin, she has a few moments that show she's [[JerkWithAHeartOfGold not as jaded as she lets on]]. When ordered to assassinate Clint on a rooftop, she attaches a rope to his protege, Kate, before throwing her off the roof, leaving her dangling. [[EveryoneHasStandards She has no reason to kill Kate]], but just needed her out of the way so she can go after her ''real'' target. She even cheerfully offers Kate some boxed mac & cheese after she finds her in her apartment.]]

* RevengeBeforeReason: [[spoiler:In ''Series/{{Hawkeye|2021}}'', she tries to murder Clint (partially as a job) after being told he killed Natasha and wanting to avenge her late sister. But, as Kate points out to her, Clint and Natasha were [[PlatonicLifePartners close friends]], so the idea that Clint murdered her makes little sense. Nonetheless, she's determined to kill Clint and, when he tries explaining Natasha [[HeroicSacrifice willingly sacrificed herself]], outright says he's lying and refuses to listen to him. All while giving him a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown. It's only when Clint reveals intimate details Natasha told him about Yelena (such as their secret whistle and childhood separation) that she finally admits she's grief-stricken, is jealous he had more time with Natasha than she did, and wants to kill him because she needs ''someone'' to blame for losing Natasha; feeling that if ''she'' were there, she could have saved her sister. Clint tells her Natasha made the choice to sacrifice herself and [[{{Determinator}} nobody could have stopped her]]. Yelena tearfully makes peace with losing Natasha and finally drops her misguided hatred against Clint.]]

* WeNamedTheMonkeyJack: A slight variation. Early in ''Black Widow'', Natasha is given a fake ID with the name "Fanny Longbottom". In TheStinger of the same movie, Yelena has a dog she named "Fanny". The inference is obvious, given she's taking her dog to visit Natasha's tombstone.

* UnwittingPawn: She's used as a blunt instrument against Clint Barton by ''three'' people no less. Barton's meddling is a threat to both Eleanor Bishop and Wilson Fisk, who hire Yelena as a hitman through Valentina as the intermediary, who has her ''own'' mysterious reasons for wanting Barton dead. In fact, she didn't even ''know'' she was truly working for Eleanor and Fisk until after some digging. It's a {{downplayed}} instance however, as though Yelena may not know ''why'' she's being used as disposable muscle by them, she has her own reasons for wanting to kill him and doesn't seem to mind the paycheck either.
