History:

(Scarlet Witch II#11 (fb) - BTS) <Approximately 25 years before the main story> - Abiding in Serbia, Natalya apparently gave her newborn twins -- despite, or perhaps, because she loved them so much -- to a relative and fellow Roma to raise as her own and to keep safe from the perils that her own life saw all too often.

    Seeking the perfect children with latent powers that he could augment for his own reasons, the High Evolutionary sent his Knights of Wundagore to attack regions of Transia before going forth into neighboring countries.

     When the Knights of Wundagore attacked Serbia, Father Drobnjak learned the reasons for the assaults. Aware of the children of the witch and figuring that they might be special, Drobnjak provided their location (and that of the woman raising them). Taking the children, the High Evolutionary and his Knights left in peace.

    Apparently knowing that it would not end well, Natalya told Dasha to sit out things while she went after her abducted children.

    Seeking to recover her children, Natalya went after the High Evolutionary on Mount Wundagore in Transia. Although something about the mountain sapped her powers, Natalya fought with what power she had, defeating all Knights of Wundagore she encountered. Ultimately, she went down fighting.

    ...(per Drobnjak) "that was the last that anyone saw of her."

(Scarlet Witch II#14 (fb) - BTS) - The unidentified father of the Natalya's twins was responsible for Natalya's death.

(Scarlet Witch II#11 (fb) - BTS) - Having completed his experiments on Wanda and Pietro, the High Evolutionary had then delivered to Natalya's brother, Django, and his wife, Marya.

(Avengers I#182 (fb) - BTS / Uncanny Origins#2 (fb) - BTS - Riled by Django's thefts and witnessing of the twins' powers, villagers set fire to the Maximoff''s wagon. With Marya covered in flames, Django instructed Pietro to flee with Wanda. Django survived but was alone.

(Scarlet Witch II#11 (fb) - BTS) - Marya survived, badly burned.

(Scarlet Witch II#11 (fb) - BTS) - As she aged, Dasha was described as "lost in her head" (presumably indicating some degree of Alzheimer's and/or dementia).

(Scarlet Witch II#11 (fb) - BTS) - More recently, following her mother's trail, Wanda learned of Father Drobnjak in Novi Pazar and how he had given her and Pietro to the High Evolutionary.

(Scarlet Witch II#11 - BTS) - Wanda confronted Drobnjak, forcing him to confirm what she had learned. Unaware of Natalya's fate, Drobnjak advised Wanda to speak to Dasha Kolarov, whom he believed had known Natalya.

(Scarlet Witch II#11) - As Wanda entered the scrapyard, Dasha initially asked if she saw anything that interested her. Once Wanda was close enough, however, Dasha recognized her as Natalya's daughter by her eyes, and she  told Wanda that she had wondered when she would come by. Briefly amused by the words "wondered" and "Wanda," Dasha told Wanda that she was glad that she arrived before "I called it quits" (died). Wanda apologized, telling her that she would have been by sooner had she known about her, but Dasha told her that she hadn't just been sitting there and twiddling her thumbs (meaning she had been busy/occupied).

    Dasha then stated that she had been best friends and something of a sidekick to Natalya, about whom she told Wanda what she knew of her. Dasha then revealed that Marya was still alive, although badly scarred from burn wounds. Dasha then drove Wanda to meet Marya, who lived in a mobile home in the woods seven miles outside of Novi Pazar.

(Scarlet Witch II#12 (fb) - BTS) - Natalya attempted to possess Marya so she could put Wanda on the right path, but the witch-demon Kalinq and its unidentified associate interceded, seeking to stop Wanda on her mission to fix/cure witchcraft, which was broken.

(Scarlet Witch II#12) - Observing the reunion, Dasha noted that she was glad to have brought the two of them together. Kalinq, who had possessed Marya, then manifested and attacked Wanda. A second demon then possessed Dasha, after which Agatha Harkness' spirit arrived and added her power to Wanda's allowing her to safely dispel the demons without harming Marya or Dasha's bodies or souls.

(Scarlet Witch II#12) - After Dasha noted that she was alive, which was the most she could safely say at the moment, Natalya briefly possessed Marya's form, greeting Wanda and thanking her old friend Dasha for reuniting Wanda and Marya. Natalya then explained that there were forces abroad that would seek to stop Wanda from fixing witchcraft as they feasted on the rotten meat of the craft's sickness. As she departed, Natalya magically healed Marya's scars.
