Wrestling Information

Type: Friction

Style: Cowardly and tricky. The more she feels she has an advantage, the nastier and more vicious she becomes.

Strategy: Oh, God, just don't die.

Preferred Attacks: She's pretty small. She does her best to hit where it hurts most, which isn't always legal.

Preferred Matches: She doesn't think that far ahead. Does she have a choice, anyway?


Characteristics

Personality:

Jamie isn't all bad. She tends to keep to herself, content to play with whatever random hobby she's picked up. She's easy to miss.

Except in the ring. She's incredibly annoying. She's fussy and whiny and a coward, underhanded and sneaky, and will do anything she can to bend rules to her advantage. She's not the most skilled wrestler, and is generally too afraid of her opponent to engage them head on. Win or lose, having a match against Jamie is usually a horrible experience.


Physical Appearance:
Jamie has blond hair with long bangs, and large brown eyes with strong, dramatic eyebrows. She has a small, sharp nose and modest, smooth lips that curl into a sly smile. She like jewelry, and is partial to hoop earrings. She tends to wear clothes that are her own off-kilter interpretation of street fashion, usually involving tiny skirts, sneakers and side-stripes. She's unusual, she sticks out in a crowd.

She's very short, but she fits right in in Japan. Despite being small, she's pretty tough and very tenacious. She's also very beautiful, in the right light, if she holds still long enough for anyone to get a good look. Her eyes are dramatic and intense, capable of being blissfully playful as well as smoldering and intimidating. She has small feet and curvy hips with strong, well-shaped legs. She mostly has no idea if she's pretty or not.


Other Info:

Jamie does lots of stuff that I'll annotate later.



Past/History:
She had a rough go of things early in her life, not that she'd bother telling anyone about it. She was born in Boston, grew up a little poor, and lived in a not-so-great neighborhood. Things got a little ugly when it came out that she was being abused, physically and sexually, by her mother's then-current boyfriend, as well as the one before. She was whisked away to a foster home, and as far as she understood she was an orphan.

She was on her own, regardless of where she lived or who the state of Massachusetts had her live with. She had to fend for herself. She developed a life outside of the foster home, only really returning when she needed something. She learned how to take what she needed, how to take care of herself. Her foster family was of course greatly concerned, and at some point someone in a suit threatened to stick her in juvie. She didn't like that idea, and she got out of Boston one night and as far from anyone that knew her as possible.

She was 14 when she left. She traveled down the east coast, first to New York, then a brief stop in Harrisburg, but Harrisburg sucked. Then she moved on to DC, and she stuck around there for a little. Things were changing for her. She thought she really had a handle on how things worked there. Once while walking the strip some people pointed at her and went on about how much she looked like some chick from some game. It was dumb, but she talked to them, and they were pretty weird about it, but they told her she should really go to the upcoming DC Comicon. She did. That was weird too.

She felt right at home at the Comicon. All the swarms of colorful people and all the noise, it was really awesome. She found out about cosplay, which sounded cool because she felt like she could be lots of different people at different times and she couldn't figure out why anyone would want to do that. She met new people there, total jerks, and they became friends, sort of. They helped her learn to sew and she made a few costumes, but nobody liked them. They kept telling her that they had to be based on characters from stuff, and she kept telling them that they WERE, they just didn't know them. It was sort of true, but of course they wouldn't believe her. They were jerks. Also, she left that Comicon in the back of a police car, but they only kept her overnight.

She got it in mind to find her way to San Diego for the next con so she could try out new costumes. She stole money from some jerk for a plane ticket and away she went. She totally bought the right ticket, but the plane dropped her off in Seattle instead, which was really scary. It was such a big place with so many people and she didn't know where she would go or do or how she'd fit in or if she'd be able to eat and sleep anywhere. She hated crowds and all the noise and everyging. Whenever she got scared, it was only for a little while. Soon everything was okay, and she started doing what she needed to do to survive there. Mostly, she stole.

The very best place to start she figured was at a mall, but it was so big and all the people were total jerks. She hated it so much she didn't even want it's money. She ended up trying to pick pocket and slight-of-hand her way into people's money as they were going into an arcade. They eventually caught on and the bastards seriously tried to kill her and she had to run for her life, down the street and around the corner and into a gym. Lots of muscle heads and stuff. Maybe just because she looked so scared and pathetic, some of them started talking to her and asking where she was from. She didn't tell them anything, but she found out that two of the guys were wrestlers. She didn't know what that was.

She went out a couple nights later to a pro wrestling show to see the guys she'd met perform. It was like a circus act, but way much better. All the guys were so big and strong and did such crazy stuff, Jamie wanted to learn to do it all. She saw one match between two women and was immediately starry eyed. They looked like they weren't afraid of anything and it was like everyone loved them and they were so pretty that she had to go talk to them. She wanted to be pretty too.

The security guard told her she couldn't go talk to them during the match. He was a total ass. Typical Seattle ass-hat. She hated everyone in Seattle, but as soon s the match ended she hounded the women and anyone else she could talk to until she figured out what they did and how and where she had to go. She'd learned a lot of tricks, she loved tricks, and the tricks these guys did were awesome. She found a pro wrestling gym and broke in through a window. She started sleeping in the supply room without anyone noticing, because she was so sneaky. Eventually, people caught on and she wanted to run away, but then where else would she find another gym-y-thingy?

Within 6 months, she was training alongside of them. A lot of the guys took to her like a little sister or a daughter and looked after her, which was great, but after a while, about a year... or two... who knows, they totally started to hold her back. She didn't like them anyway, and she left without saying a word to any of them. She stole enough money for a ticket to Japan, and started looking for a place she could use all her new tricks. She found one.
