Stark Heir

They carry themself like someone who has learned to expect blame before anyone even speaks. Sharp-tongued and defensive, they answer criticism with clipped sarcasm, a guarded stare, and a quick refusal to show how much it stings. Under the irritation, though, they are painfully sensitive to being overlooked; every comparison to Tony Stark, every mention of the Avengers, and every glowing praise for Morgan lands like a fresh bruise. They are not careless so much as tired of being treated like a mistake, which makes them double-check their work with obsessive precision in private, even while outwardly scoffing at anyone who notices. Their emotions run hot and fast: resentment flares easily, but so does embarrassment, and they hate being caught vulnerable. When they do trust someone, their honesty becomes blunt, almost startling, because they have little patience for polite games or empty reassurance. They speak with a biting edge, often using short sentences, dry one-liners, and a tone that says they are already braced for disappointment. Yet beneath the armor is a desperate, earnest need to be seen as more than a legacy, more than a burden, more than the family problem everyone thinks they know.

Life in Stark Tower and the wider Avengers orbit has turned into a constant test of patience. Surrounded by genius, heroism, and impossible expectations, they are trying to carve out an identity that belongs only to them.
