Personality: Zoey is a very confident, very cocky little wrestler. Very sure of her ability in the ring, she constantly teases and taunts opponents and friends alike, which makes it a little hard to get more of the latter. She is very good at verbal sparring, and quite often manages to get under someone's skin and make them all red-faced and flustered. Her small size coupled with her overconfident attitude makes her quite appealing to the AFW audience, even if it doesn't do her many favours with the rest of the roster. She likes to fight aggressively, using her maneuverability and acrobatic agility to keep up a fast-paced offence even at great risk to herself. She is insecure about her size however, and gets unreasonably flustered and angry towards anyone who suggests she isn't a 'worthy' opponent because she's too small.

History: Zoey was born in Kitakyushu, Japan to a very wealthy Japanese father and moderately wealthy French mother. While her father made his wealth from inheriting and creating a number of highly successful businesses, her mother was a semi-famous professional wrestler in her youth and made a large amount of money from merchandising and advertising deals. Even early in her life, Zoey took an interest in pro-wrestling, watching her mother's old tapes and eventually moving on to watch AFW (though the roster at the time differed considerably from today). Once she reached high-school age, Zoey managed to get herself into gymnastics & ballet, becoming very flexible and acrobatic and quite adept at the sports, her small size relative to most other students giving her something of an advantage. However, her size proved to be a hindrance when it came to joining the school pro-wrestling team, the managers believing she was too small to be competitive against the other students, which upset Zoey to no end.

Eventually, through a combination of support from her friends, other students, and her parents, the team management finally caved in and let her join. As expected for someone small and light who had never fought before, 14-year-old Zoey did very poorly for most of the first year. Her parents took it upon themselves to make their daughter a better fighter, and paid for a whole plethora of different highly-rated trainers and instructors. Now with a set schedule for training (A very rigorous one, with Zoey spending 10 hours each week with the training team), Zoey's in-ring abilities improved dramatically, going from the lowest-rated 16-and-under wrestler in the region at the start of the first year, to one of the top 5 by the time she graduated and left school.

It didn't take long for her to start receiving invites and offers in the mail to attend pro-wrestling events, both tickets to watch as a spectator and contracts to participate as a fighter. Her mother helped her out by essentially working as her manager, deciding which events she was going to show up to and which she wasn't. Seeing how she hadn't grown at all since her school years, Zoey was a fair bit shorter than almost all of her opponents, which helped grow her fanbase considerably when she proved herself still capable of consistently winning. Just two months before her 18th birthday, a much more famous, high-profile organisation contacted Zoey and offered her a place on their roster. Being a huge fan of AFW since childhood, Zoey eagerly accepted, and she remains a little part of the roster to this day.

Fun Facts:
-) Zoey has an unreasonable hatred towards anyone who manages to reverse one of her high-flying moves into an electric chair slam or powerbomb, having lost numerous matches pre-AFW to it.
-) Despite both parents being over 6' tall, Zoey somehow ended up over a full foot shorter than either of them.
-) The blue streak on the front of her hair is natural, and not hair dye. She's had it since childhood and never known why.
-) Zoey's primary method of personal transportation is a skateboard. Somehow weaving in and out of crowds without ever taking her eyes off her phone.

Wrestling Information

Style: Zoey fights with a highly acrobatic and flashy style, using a lot of aerial takedowns and quick high kicks to create a highly aggressive offense aimed at overwhelming her opponents. She typically follows up any successful takedown with submission holds depending on how safe she feels it'd be to try, backing off instead or delivering quick strikes to allow an escape if she feels the risk would be too high.
Common Attacks: Zoey typically likes to use high kicks and leaping aerial attacks. She is proficient with some submission holds such as armbars and sleepers where she can use the power of her entire body against just one or two limbs. Zoey does overestimate her own strength from time to time, sometimes attempting power moves like scoop slams on heavier opponents that she has no chance at lifting.
Preferred Matches: Zoey's pride and ego has her accept practically any type of match, considering herself to be such a good wrestler that she can do well in any situation (Of course, she can't.) Even then, she still has a fear of hardcore matches, being more reluctant to agree to one than others.

Finishing Moves:

Question Mark Kick
Easier to land against a stunned opponent, but she can pull it off against more aware opponents. Zoey raises her knee up high to be roughly aimed or level with her opponent's head. Then, she swings her foot out as hard as she can towards the side of the victim's skull. If it lands, it is quite devastating and can cause a K.O versus an unprepared opponent.

Spoiler:

Stump Puller
Against a sitting opponent, Zoey will step over their shoulders and hook their left leg around her left foot and pull it out to the victim's side. At the same time, she takes her opponent's right leg in both hands at the ankle and raises it up to a painfully high angle while leaning her own body forwards, putting a lot of pressure on the victim's thigh and lower spine.

Spoiler:

Signature Move:
Cartwheel Powerbomb
Zoey sprints towards her opponent, building up as much speed as possible. Once the two are very close, Zoey performs a cartwheel around to their rear while hooking both arms around the victim's thighs and twisting them up onto their back. She lands on her knees and the victim on their back, and the move can easily be transitioned into a matchbook pin. The surprise and leverage the move create are usually enough to let her perform it on anyone who isn't unreasonably heavy.

Stats
Strength: 3/10 - Zoey's physical strength is about what you'd expect from someone as light-weight as herself. While she knows how to use leverage and technique to her advantage to make up for it, in a straight-up test of strength she will lose to almost anyone.
Stamina: 10 /10 - Zoey's stamina seems to be limitless, able to carry herself around the ring until the end of all but the longest of matches without growing tired. She can still be winded by opponents to achieve the same effect however.
Endurance: 6/10 - Being quite flexible, Zoey has a natural resistance to some submission holds. While it isn't enough to stop them from being painful entirely, it does mean she can last a little longer than most without tapping. When it comes to taking strikes or power-moves, opponents will still find it easy to knock her down, though she tends to get back up again afterwards.
Speed: 10/10 - Zoey's speed is her biggest asset, letting her make up for her lack of musculature by throwing out very fast-moving strikes and helping her to evade a few attacks thrown against her by her opponents. It definitely is quite a task to keep up with her in this regard.
Technique: 10 /10 - As a former gymnast, and someone who has received three years of non-stop training by very highly-rated instructors, Zoey has very impressive technique, being very much in-control of her body movements and able to quickly learn and adapt to new moves.

Strikes: 8/10 - Zoey's kicks are something to be feared more often than not, given how much speed she can build up in such a short time, they're definitely capable of doing some damage. Stirking with her hands and arms isn't nearly as painful, but her punches and such come out very quickly.
Submissions: 4/10 - While she knows how to negate an opponent's strength, its very situational and not something she can do from any position. With that said, the few holds she can apply leverage to are very nasty technical things.
Aerials: 10/10 - Zoey's ability to perform moves while in the air is very impressive, her agility and flexibility combine to allow a variety of visually and physically impressive and deadly maneuvers.
Blocking: 1/10 - She has never been great at blocking, her poor strength prevents her from stopping blows effectively and so she simply uses her wrists like shields, very painful shields.
Dodging: 10/10 - Zoey can dodge very well, her impressive speed and small size makes it difficult to land blows when she is paying attention. She prefers dodging to blocking by a large margin. With how quickly most wrestlers can move and attack, it isn't too consistent, but she can definitely give them a hard time when she wants to.

Overall Rating: 92/100 - An incredible wrestler, the drive to prove that she isn't a pushover has grown Zoey into a nightmareishly annoying opponent capable of staying competitive (and even defeating!) with much, much larger wrestlers.

Ring Attire:
Zoey's attire is made up from a set of tight-fitting sports bra and briefs, both in black though with a thick red stripe up the middle on both the front and back sides of her outfit. Her elbows are protected by very light (almost pink) red pads, and two black fingerless gloves cover her hands. She usually doesn't wear any knee pads, though the few times she does they match the pads over her elbows perfectly. On her feet are a set of very classic-style, almost knee-high, pull-on red boots. Fans of the show may well notice that it is exactly the same outfit (only red instead of green) worn by Moe Fukuoka, though Zoey did not at all intend for this to be the case.
