Wrestling Information

Type: Skirmish Submissionist

Strategy: On solid ground, River is a high energy momentum based skirmisher. Throwing herself at opponents with powerful hip attacks and body splashes, her one and only goal is to floor the opposition to get herself on top of them and make use of her plethora of submissions. She is a capable striker, though her strength lies in her control over her body as a whole and weaponizing her curves to knock her opposition off balance.

Where she shines is when water is added to the mix. While standard wet style matches are fine, she prefers to go even more stylized and add larger bodies of water to her matches. These can be something as simple as large bodies of water to fight in, Onsen matches, or even floating rings suspended over a full scale pool. When she hits the water her mobility and footing becomes sufficiently better.  Able to outmaneuver opponents with her impressive swimming and drag them down to a sweet watery loss as she dunks and chokes them into submission while they battle the environment just as much as they fight her.

Preferred Matches: Anything including water. Special stipulation matches.

Personality:

River is a free spirit, easygoing by almost all accounts. As her name suggests, she goes with the flow of most situations and likes to see where they take her. She is none the less rather quirky to most outsiders looking in due to ehr beliefs and practices. They range from the mundane such as her obsession with organically sourced foods to the mystical such as spiritualism.

She is innately kind, believing in putting good energies out in the world and strives for a sense of balance to things. She does much of this with her practice of meditation and crystal healing. While she doesn’t impose these things onto people, she is very outgoing and open about her own practice in hopes of opening others to give it a chance.

History:

Life in a small village on the island of Okinawa tucked far away from the Japanese mainland there were two main things that encircled River’s life. The first was, quite literally, the pacific ocean and the second was Shinto teachings. Raised in a community of extended family, her knowledge of the world was often shaped by traditions and superstition rather than current affairs and technology.

Her beliefs in natural healing, energies found within nature, and spiritualism directly was passed onto her by members of her family who, rather universally, prescribe to many of the same ideals she holds onto currently. The love of the water however was one birthed all on her own. Days on end spent at the beach, local springs, or public pools made up much of her free time outside of family duties.

It wasn’t until she reached her late teens that it was decided she would be enrolled in the schooling system to help educate her on the happenings of the world. It was here she started branching out into more competitive pastimes, those of course being swimming and wrestling. While she proved exceptional at the former, she struggled with the latter despite the shine she had taken to it. When it came time for her to graduate to University, she instead asked if she could instead travel to the mainland to get a taste for what it was like in the rest of Japan.

She quickly established her crystal healing business abroad and found great success bringing alternative medicine to the mainland cementing a place for herself. She wanted something more however, excitement. There was a need for discord to pair with the harmony of her lifestyle and it wasn’t long until she found her outlet. After taking some time to train up a bit, she approached AFW management and pitched some ideas their way for her… it wasn’t long before she had a contract.


Fun Facts:

Alternative Medicine: River is a practicing crystal healer. Despite what scientific study might say, she does rather well with her appointment only business. She tends to be picky with her clientele, but might be willing to share her talents with some of her fellow AFW members.

No Tank Required: Capable of holding her breath for an extended period of time, even while exerting herself.

Fish in Water: A phenomenal swimmer, able to out pace and perform most people with the room to dip below the water’s surface.

Comfortable in her Skin: Unless she knows of it being an issue, River dresses very minimalist normally. She has no real issue with presenting her body to anyone or anywhere. Unless she is made aware of it being a social faux pas, its likely she won’t even consider it being an issue.
