Combat Information

Combat Attitude: Pompous, infuriatingly confident, and thinks of each match as a recital of her superiority.
Combat Strategy: Lynette is a practiced scholar in the art of emotional intimidation, and cannot help but delight in berating her opponents while she dissects them. Her resourcefulness is also deadly, using the ring and her surroundings to great effect.
Combat Style: Disciplined and direct (with a penchant for beautifully executed moves), is also known to snap into violently ruthless tactics.
Combat Type: Balanced
Strength: A Rank - An accomplished athelete and a believer of optimal fitness, Lynette is more than strong enough for her size and is capable of seeing every move in her wrestling arsonal inflict forcible pain onto her opponents.
Defence: B Rank - Tough but far from indestructible, Lynette can't take too many blows and still behave like a proper lady.
Endurance: B Rank - Fatigue from exertion is not an issue; fatigue from beatings is. Lynette stays very offensive to avoid having to sustain too much hurt over the course of a long match.
Speed: A Rank - Lithe and flexible, Lynette moves quickly for a tallergirl. It's more often a matter of her wanting to take her time.
Technique: S Rank - A former champion fencer and gymnast, ruthless perfection and elegant execution is the pride of the de Villiers battle style.
Counter: A Rank - Hit Lynette at your own risk. Finding the very thought of someone hitting her offensively absurd, she'll find a way to hurt you back, be it by resourcefulness or turning your own momentum against you.
Preferred Attacks: Swift leg and knee strikes, elaborate grapples, weapon-use, and submissions.

Style Information:

Wrestling Style: A Rank - Practiced and aggressively commanding, Lynette works well in manuevering her foes where she wants them and then hurting them there.
High Flying Style: B Rank - While finding high flying moves too high-risk for regular use, Lynette still can deliver an occasional jaw-dropping leap of faith with critical precision.
Martial Arts: A Rank - knowledgable in mixed martial arts, judo, and a few key lessons of muay-thai, Lynette's greatest talent is creatively blending them with other orthadox styles.
Strikes with the hand/fist: B Rank - Dirty her hands with barbaric punching? Kya ha ha...only when necessary.
Strikes with the leg/foot: SS Rank - The crème de la crème of her arsenal, Lynette's legs are long, swift, and merciless. Beware.

Common Finishers:
Scissor Kick: Seemingly allowing her opponent a momentâ€s reprieve to climb back onto their feet, Lynette waits predatorily until they are just able to main balance, and then steps in, delivers a quick knee to their stomach causing them to buckle over, and then steps away to deliver an cruelly elegant scissor kick to the back of their neck.

La Bastille: Lynette catches the opponent from behind and in the sitting position, bends them over backwards, and locks their head under her arm, face-up, and wraps her arm around the opponentâ€s neck with her forearm rooted against the back of the opponentâ€s neck. Placing her knee against their back, Lynette then pulls the opponentâ€s head back and up, wrenching the neck until submission.

Critical Finisher:
The Color of Despair: An inverted springboard-esque cutter, Lynette takes a dazed opponent, neatly locking their chins snugly over her left shoulder with her arm wrapped up and around their neck to keep them there. She proceeds to make a long-gaited run up a turnbuckle (or, in a pinch, just a jump onto a middle rope), straightening her legs high and vertical to turn and redirect the balance of the victim still standing beneath her, and lets gravity take its course, bringing her opponent down to the mat, fully-laid out, into a mind-shattering cutter finale.

Visual Appearance:
Tall, long-legged, femininely atheletic, and poised, Lynette was clearly raised well-to-do. Her visage is delicate and pretty, but piercing dark blue eyes cast over everyone around her with stern, unfair judgment. Her skin is the color of flawless ivory and her physique, while slender and sexy with curves in all the right places, is equally toned to athletic perfection.

Personality:
Well-educated, haughty, and just a little self-centered, Lynette sees herself as a beacon of intelligence, class, and elegance amidst the chaos of the AFW. She is manipulative and self-serving, but exudes charisma and commands a great deal of respect due to her self-confidence and brilliant schemes. Slow to make friends but long in keeping them, she upholds a personal code of honor to her allies and no one else. She is also quick to pass judgment on someone, but not below a justified re-evaluation. Normally cool-headed, she occasionally throws tantrums when things do not fall exactly into place as she intended, which can conjure up quite a cruel streak.

Past/History:
Lynette was born into a high-society household as an only child, and while this was fertile ground for her to grow up a spoiled and dependant young woman, The de Villiers were blessed with a daughter whom found the exhilaration of victory far more gratifying than material wealth. She threw herself into all her studies, and was an A student her entire academic life. She was fascinated with athletics at an early age, and considered it the peak of proving superiority of another human, and excelled in tennis, gymnastics, and horseback-riding, and later rigorously followed fencing, judo, and mixed-martial arts training.

Upon graduating from a rich, private high school, she was accepted into the University of Cambridge, from which she graduated with a flawless record and a degree in Psychology while still successfully juggling her atheletic and fight training. Upon graduating, she had been expected to forge a bright career in the field, but in her final month of college, sheâ€d haphazardly visited a public training gym, and after flaunting an impressive work-out with some degree of obnoxiousness, she was challenged to a spar by a unimpressed, rough-looking young female wrestler. Scoffing, Lynette eagerly stepped into the ring, and lost after only three rounds.

Stunned in defeat, Lynette re-evaluated herself, and decided that she could not embark on a new career with the goal to win everything until she conquered one corner of competition: fighting. Class no longer meant anything; it all came down to becoming better. After many months of training and fine-tuning her battle prowess, Lynette has arrived at the AFW to take it all and prove herself as one of, if not THE best, no matter what the cost.

Wrestling Attire:
Lynette typically wears skin-tight dark leggings and a matching strapless bustier that saucily offers hints of her figure, high riding boots, and enters to the ring wearing a snugly-fitted riding coat or professional blazer. However, her attire is subject to change with her whims.


Lynette fresh from a swim.
