Ring Gear:

Momentum Gear:

Wrestling Style: Estelle is the kind to 'hit first and ask later' when in the ring, leaving the strategic elements to her foster brother. Her reliance on power moves is a testament to the daily workout regime she undertakes, and she's also known to throw not just punches or kicks, but even her entire body at her foe in the form of splashes, dropkicks and other techniques. All to overwhelm them and secure the win!

Preferred Matches: Classic, Submission, Cage, No Holds Barred, Momentum

Preferred Moves: Stunners, Powerbomb, Giant Swing, Diving Crossbody, Camel Clutch, Northern Lights Suplex

Available For Singles: Yes (Against males only)

Finishers:

Wheel of Time: Estelle lifts the opponent up over her shoulders in an Argentine Backbreaker hold. She twirls around with the opponent kept on her shoulders, before dropping down onto her rear and delivering an impact to their spine.

Supreme Comet: Bringing the opponent to the corner with her, Estelle brings them up with her and hoists them up into the air, falling backwards to slam them down for a Vertical Suplex.

Phoenix Wave: Utilising her father's classic finisher, from the top rope, Estelle does a 450 degrees corkscrew twist as she splashes down upon the opponent's fallen form.

Personality: A cheerful and energetic girl, Estelle is considered by many to be a tomboy. Although she tends to be easily riled up and aggressive as a result, she wears her heart on her sleeve. She is friendly and trusting to perhaps a fault – easily taken in by others without her foster brother to watch out for her. Despite this, she enjoys encouraging the best in people to help them reach their full potential. Estelle has a disdain for planning and thinking things through and prefers to settle things with her fists rather than words. Ignorant to the ways of the world, she has decided to come to AFW in order to broaden her horizons.

Trivia:
-Estelle is fond of fishing, bug collecting and even collecting sneakers.
-The concept of horror, such as haunted dwellings and ghosts, terrifies her.
-She adores all flavours, and variants, of ice cream.

Name: Joshua Bright
Age: 21
Height: 5'8
Weight: 179lbs
Nationality: American
Sexuality: Straight
Alignment: Tweener
Singles Entrance Theme: Maybe It Was Fated

Ring Gear:

Wrestling Style: In contrast to his 'hot-headed reckless' sister, Joshua prioritises strategy and planning in the ring. He never enters through the ropes without establishing some kind of plan against his foe. He likes to work down opponents with strikes aimed at limbs, counters to frustrate them and finishes by applying submissions to drain them of their resistance once exhausted. Although he doesn't relish using certain tactics to achieve victory, sometimes he will do 'what is necessary' in order to get the win, even if Estelle disagrees with it.

Preferred Moves: Liontamer, Boston Crab, Enzuigiri, Headscissors, German Suplex, Superkick

Preferred Matches: Classic, Submission, Cage, No Holds Barred

Available For Singles: Yes (Against females only)

Finishers:

Black Fang: On an opponent lying face down, Joshua brings their arm behind his head and locks in a front facelock on their chin, yanking back to force the opponent to tap.

Cloak & Dagger: An unorthodox move where Joshua slips a capsule with blue mist into his mouth and places his lips to his opponent, forcing them to inhale it. The effect leaves them sleepy and light-headed, as he guides them to the floor with a sleeper hold to make them pass out.

Phantom Raid: From the top rope, Joshua jumps down while an opponent is bent over in front of him. His thighs landing between their head, he grabs their waist over their back and somersaults forward with his opponent, spiking them headfirst into the canvas for a flip piledriver.

Personality: Normally a collected and intelligent introvert, Joshua is cordial to others when required, keeping his emotions in check while attempting to look out for Estelle. He is often very sceptical and does not easily trust people, always on the lookout for any ulterior motives or ill intentions. He is very tactical in his mindset and constantly thinking ahead. While the female demographic might consider him a bad boy heart throb, he is a softie underneath once his layers are peeled back. He has come to AFW to further hone his own abilities, while ensuring his foster sister is kept out of trouble.

Trivia:
-Although Joshua is normally calm and collected, he is fiercely protective of Estelle and has no qualms hurting anyone who means to harm her outside of the ring.
-Joshua enjoys playing the harmonica and reading.
-Joshua is an exquisite cook and handles most of, if not all meal preps for him and Estelle.

Tag Team Name: Shining Bright

Tag Team Entrance Theme: Silver Will, Golden Wings

Tag Team Finisher:

Silver Will: Essentially a combination of their standard finishers. Estelle performs the first part of Wheel of Time, but instead of falling down with the opponent, drops them behind her. Joshua then joins them on the canvas and applies Black Fang, in an attempt to make the opponent yield.

Backstory: Estelle's father is Cassius Bright, a world-renowned, legendary wrestler. Cassius would leave home while Estelle and her mother tracked her father's accomplishments and victories in the ring through TV, newspapers and any other form of media available to them. However, tragedy struck when Estelle turned six, as her mother became terminally ill. Her father permanently retired from the sport in order to return home and care for his daughter.

As they lived in a rural part of the States, Cassius was conscious that Estelle did not have any close friends of her own age, although she didn't seem to particularly mind this. Secretly, he began the process of adopting another child. Whilst attending the orphanage, a particularly quiet child, huddled at the back of the hall and isolated from the other children, caught his attention. The boy was named Joshua, and shared Estelle's age, having ended up there after his parents perished in a car accident.

Cassius offered to adopt the boy, who was initially taken aback by the offer. After a long moment, Joshua agreed, and the pair returned home. Cassius announced to Estelle that he had a gift for her, revealing Joshua to the girl. The shrill response was 'Why is my present a BOY?!'. In the first few weeks, Estelle and Joshua both clashed. Joshua's introverted nature did not sit well with Estelle's desire to be constantly playing and rough housing. But after being coaxed out of his shell, soon he was taking part with her and enjoying himself.

To Estelle, there is no one more she admires more than her father, who she perceives as ‘the coolest and best wrestler around!’. She loved watching his matches and toppling opponents as a champion and was eager to follow in his steps as a wrestling champion as well. She began training at a young age, using a reluctant Joshua as her training partner. But to Joshua’s surprise, he found himself enjoying the sport as well. Soon, the pair of them were making big waves in the indy league as a tag team, and Estelle loved seeing the world and meeting new people. But she wanted to go further on an international scale. After hearing of AFW, she pleaded her dad to use his connections in order to secure her a roster spot so she could travel to Japan and show what the children of the Bright Family were capable of. Yes, that included her exasperated brother. Despite that, Joshua agreed to go with her, so that he could develop himself while keeping an eye on her to keep her out of trouble...
