Zip up all of those pockets and let's get down to it. Yelena Fyodorovna Belova was created by Devin Grayson and J.G. Jones for Marvel Comics. She first appeared in Inhumans Vol. 2, #5 in 1999.
Captain America: The Winter Soldier established that Romanoff was born in 1984 and Black Widow's prologue introduced young Natasha (Ever Anderson) in 1995 when she was 11 years old. Meanwhile, young Yelena (Violet McGraw) was 6 years old in Black Widow's prologue, so she was born in 1989.

Why does Yelena have a Russian accent but Natasha doesn't?
There are two possible explanations - either the Red Room training was so thorough her accent was embedded naturally rather than taught, or Natasha decided to carrying on using her U.S. voice as a way of escaping the emotional trauma of her previous life.
Let's clear this up. Wanda Maximoff • Born, 1989 • Sokovia Bombing, 1999 • Age of Ultron, 2015 • Civil War, 2016 • Infinity War, 2018 • Endgame, 2018/2023 In AOU, she's 26. In IW, she's 29. Five years later, she returns and is still 29.
In the source material, the identity of Natasha's mother is unknown, as she left a young Natasha in the custody of a man named Ivan Petrovich and she died shortly after during the Battle of Stalingrad, with Petrovich raising young Natasha.
Yelena's fighting style seems to rely more on traditional Tae Kwon Do, with Yelena putting her opponents down with a powerful roundhouse kick or front kick as she needs to. Still, Yelena will also take a dive into the flashier side of Tae Kwon Do, with some of her kicks similar to Natasha's.
Like Natasha, Yelena receives training in the Red Room Academy and eventually defects from Russia, joining the intelligence agency S.H.I.E.L.D. But her time there doesn't last long and when she is seemingly betrayed, she joins Hydra.
But while Wanda Maximoff seems to have actually died after her battle with Doctor Strange and America Chavez, Elizabeth Olsen hasn't officially exited the MCU, which makes her return as the Scarlet Witch possible in the future.
