Wrestling Information

Strategy: A fearless aerial acrobat and showboat, Tori puts on fantastic displays in the form of daring aerial assaults and seemingly never ending yet naturally witty trash talking. No where inside the four corners of the ring is safe from Tori's reach, so long as their is a rope or post to leap off of, you bet she will make full use of her arsenal of aerial attacks. A well trained all-around pro wrestler, Tori is a skilled striker and proficient grappler when her feet are firmly planted on the canvas, although she can find herself eventually overwhelmed if restricted to the ground for too long, especially if her opponent is skilled enough to prevent her from taking flight all together.

To best make use of her high flying abilities, Tori often tries to find ways of disabling her opponents beforehand. Making use of her striking and grappling skills, Tori gradually wears down opponents using a myriad of punches, submissions and grappling techniques to chisel away at their stamina. When the time is right, Tori unleashes her real bread and butter: Flying kicks, leaping moonsaults, and soaring splashes, all descending down upon her rivals in a blazing flame of pink glory. She is highly adaptable and versatile, never trying the same thing twice, and instead often coming up with new moves or combining old ones on the fly.

Personality: Vibrant and colorful, Tori is the life of any space she occupies. Unable to sit still for more then a few minutes, Tori is always looking for new ways to occupy her mind and body. Dangerously courageous and stupidly brave, Tori isn't afraid to throw herself into exceedingly perilous situations so long as she gets a proper thrill out of it. Sure, she's broken a few bones, earned a few dings and scratches, and even faced the "death" in "death-defying stunt" one too many times, but Tori wouldn't have it any other way.

Annoyingly competitive, Tori is addicted to the thrill of winning. She can be overly hard on herself, and end up pushing her body to extremes it simply isn't capable of handling, but she's always willing to take that risk if it means it'll inch her closer towards victory. Her competitive edge can sometimes overcrowd her otherwise friendly nature, as she is willing to backstab friends and make amends with enemies if it'll help her reach her goals. Loyal only to herself, Tori can be an unreliable ally, but will otherwise remain a devoutly loyal friend and partner outside the ring.

History: Warm beaches, gentle waves, fun people: the islands of the Florida Keys seemed like the ideal place to grow up, and for Tori, they really were. Gifted in acrobatics, Tori became somewhat of a local prodigy among the Keys, even joining a youth acrobatics circuit and doing tours along the Florida coast. She discovered wrestling rather early on in her childhood, but kept the fascination with the sport to herself for fear of her parents disapproval. Proud of their young daughter's acrobatic accomplishments, the last thing she wanted to do was disappoint them by revealing her much more dangerous ambitions.

As her teen years approached, so to did her rebellious nature. While still a major success among her acrobatics trope, Tori grew increasingly sick of the grace, poise, and elegance of the trope. Soaring through the air would always be the thing she loves to do most, but why not combine it with a little more flash, a little more daring, a little more danger. Against her family's wishes, Tori enrolled in a local wrestling camp, intending to put her high flying skills to use in a whole different kind of a spectacle. She adopted the moniker of the "Flaming Flamingo" on account of her bird-of-paradise inspired outfit and high-flying move set.

Just as she expected, Tori was a natural . Flying through the air was a charming brashness, Tori was able to evade the grasping reach of her opponents while still dishing out diving bombs and flying kicks from every which direction. She soon became something more of just a local name, eventually entering a large indie league and fighting all over the country. Her attacks and fighting style increasingly became more brazen and more risky, but each time she was able to narrowing escape injury. That was until the night of her championship title belt retention match. With her opponent splayed out on the mat, and victory only moments away, Tori decided to attempt something she had never pulled off before.

Leaping off the turnbuckle, she tucked in her knees, rolling over in the air as she attempted 1060 degree moon splash. Barreling through the air, she managed to do one rotation, then another, then one more! It all seemed to be going to plan, until in the midst of her mid air attack, she noticed her opponent was no longer where she had been previously laid out, but instead had sneakily rolled over several feet to the side at the last second. Distracted by the revelation and already caught up in the maneuver, Tori was unable to soften the landing. The back of her neck came crashing down with devastating force on the canvas. She was airlifted to a nearby hospital, and after several weeks of evaluation and care, it was determined that she would luckily make a full recovery.

What may have been a career ending moment for some left Tori completely undeterred. Sure, she had almost faced paralyzation, or maybe even worse, but this was the life she had chosen, and she loved it more than anything else. With her title gone, and a year spent in recovery, Tori began looking for a change in scenery. Fascinated with the awe-inspiring spectacles of the Japanese wrestling circuits, Tori began reaching out to the famed AFW. It wasn't long until Tori was signed on with the league, and ready to restart her career with even more stunts, danger, and spectacles.


Fun Facts:

Misnomer: Despite the ring name, Tori has never actually seen a real flamingo before. But hey, at least the outfit looks dope.
