Personality:
It’s easy to see how Mariah and Bubbles get along so well - they’re both fun loving, energetic, enthusiastic people. Mariah in particular has a passion for wrestling, a deep abiding love and respect that kept her with the sport even after her injury. She likes to help other people  as she can, wanting to do her part to further the sport along.

Unlike her wife, she can get serious fast when need be, and her time as a manager as helped her learn a strong, business-minded approach. She likes to come off like she doesn’t care about the repercussions of her actions, but she tends to be a lot more aware of them than she lets on.


History:

Born in Los Angeles, California, Mariah was always an energetic, happy child, if a bit aimless. She was athletic, and loved being in sports...or, to be more accurate, she loved trying out for sports and being on a team, training and exercising. When it came time for the actual matches, however, she often found herself lacking, never having much of a team spirit. She was a ball hog, a glory hound, and lacked the patience to really work with others. As such, she drifted from sport to sport, never truly settling on anything.

Until she came to wrestling in high school. In wrestling, she found a sport that she could excel in, and one where she could exceed at her own pace. Eager to improve, she poured her heart into the sport and joined the indies after she graduated, where she was quickly found and picked up by Slamazons Wrestling. While she had a slow start there, she eventually started to pick up some momentum, and rose to the mid-card, with a promising future.

This all came to an abrupt end when she had an accident during Slamazon’s Winter Wonderland PPV.  In the last legs of a Royal Rumble match, she tried to take out an opponent with a moonsault, only to get pushed off the turnbuckle and sent to the floor. Getting eliminated was the least of her problems - she landed poorly on her right leg, breaking it at the knee. Though she had surgery and was able to recover somewhat, it put her professional career on an indefinite hiatus.

However, she stayed with Slamazons, who offered her a job as a trainer for new talent. It was during this time that she came across Bubbles Burste, a bodybuilder who’d joined the crew. Powerful but inexperienced, Mariah took to training her, and the two would become friends, then much more than friends, with Mariah eventually marrying the flirtatious powerhouse.

Since then, Mariah took to managing Bubbles, leaving her wife to handle most of the heavy work while she takes on the details. It’s something she has a knack for, and she’s even started to manage other wrestlers since they joined the AFW, growing her portfolio.

Recently, however, her injury healed enough for her to be cleared for the ring once more, and while she’s not in a hurry, she’s considered a soft comeback...
