Strategy: Wearing opponents down with her gritty, old world form of wrestling.
Style: Zohara has a few styles she cycles between. In wrestling, she tends to be a speed grappler with agile defenses, great durability and an ability to make great counters. She enjoys swift slamming moves where she generally relies on momentum and velocity to snap an opponent down quickly. She doesn't waste time with her moves, and her opponents can find themselves in danger the minute the match starts. The aggression and speed keep opponents on their toes, and her solid defense, mixed with her being pretty tough, serve to frustrate her opponents if they finally do get to take the offensive.
Type: Speedy, rough and efficient.

Preferred Attacks: Snapmares, headlocks, knee strikes, punches.

Finishing moves: Nomad's Might - Zohara executes an irish whip, sending her opponent bounding off, into the ropes. On the bounce back, she quickly slides one arm between her opponents legs, the other, over their shoulder. (If she's in an especially dirty mood, she'll add a punch to the groin) She then, twists her body, using the momentum to slam her opponent hard, on the mat.

Visual Appearance:

Physical Appearance: Zohara is in stunning shape, tall and lean. Her small figure is well toned, her flat abdominal a sight to behold. Her limbs tend to be a bit more frail, but there's decent toning there, and she's continuing to work on improving her arms. She maintains a degree of softness in her 33C cup bosom and feminine bottom. At first glance of her thin build you would think her fragile, but it's apparent with a bit longer of a stare that she is a solid specimen.

Personality: Zohara is seen as the archtypal rogue of sorts. She can be deceitful, manipulative and full of lies, all with a pseudo-friendly personality. She's easy to trust, given her guile and presence which is very energetic and almost overwhelming to the more reserved types. Zohara loves fair fights, whichever way they go. She has a habit of claiming those she defeats for a night of respite with her, but sometimes craves a stronger opponent that can overpower her and give her a decent thrashing.In matches where she is overpowered, her dirtier moves come in to play
Zohara is easy to befriend, but just as easy to become a rival. In the ring, Zohara's thick accent will often make snide remarks, and a smirk will grace her face. She usually saves seduction for after the fact, but makes her intentions known from the get go, sometimes being bold enough to outright kiss someone if they're aesthetically appealing enough.

Past/History: Zohara was born a gypsy. She lived as one as well, her family, everyone in their nomadic tribe, had nurtured all the children, wanting them to flourish and continue the traditions of their people. Zohara fit in well as a child, the envy of many girls and the desire of the boys and girls alike. Zohara's particular group were accepting individuals, there was no religious foundation to their beliefs, it was mostly a spiritual attachment to nature, and namely the night sky and the sea. Zohara embraced the ideals and upholds them to this day, though no one usually understands.
Zohara had been a typical child, raised to sneak into the villages they came across and take what she could. She even was taught how to trick, swindle and otherwise deceive people so that the nomads could move about. By 13, Zohara's mother had died, as did many others in their camp. A illness spread, and being gypsies their treatments were mostly ritualistic and never effective. Zohara had trouble accepting that, she became a bit darker, now she'd go out on her own instead of spending time in the camps. She began to seek danger, adventure. She, the pretty little girl had begun to develop int a beautiful young woman, and once again became an object of many girl's envy. She'd grown up, showed skill in many trades, she was athletic, intelligent, and beautiful. She was a prize that wasn't exactly claimable. She was only 16, but amongst gypsies, she had waited too long to mate. She ended up being propositioned by her childhood friend Rathir, as another girl approached.

Hava, she was another childhood friend, and she had protested the idea of her friends mating. Zohara wasn't sure why she did, but she tried talking Hava out of the affair. Her friend wouldn't have it. Hava was a bit older than Zohara, she had sex a few times but hadn't gotten pregnant and slept with mostly females to avoid doing so. Hava was far too rambunctious to stick to one mate. Zohara's friend, 3 years her elder, turned to a bitter enemy for the next 25 minutes. They fought intensely, Hava had eventually beaten Zohara to unconsciousness. She woke up as the sky began to hint at morning's approach, they made love in a forest and decided to run off together, not wanting children, only eachother. Zohara forgot all about her family in the fatal attraction that she'd taken to Hava.

So the pair took what little they owned, leaving without another word. In this time, Zohara was mentored in her fighting skill, nearly every night they made camp, they would spar. Sparing for a gypsy being basically a full fledged fight. Zohara improved, finding the fights fun, and being filled with an ardent desire to win. Then, there was the night they stumbled across a city, not too large, but big enough to be a shock to their system. They had always been taught to avoid cities. It was in this city, they discovered AFW. It took place on a monitor, they'd seen the boxes of moving pictures before, but never with color. The duo saw a broadcast, of AFW from the outside of a bar, and it instantly appealed to them. After a bit of reasearching, they found it. They learned that they could take passage on the sea to where the arena was. Yet, the gypsies were so confused by the modern society, they hardly found enough money for one of them to secure passage on the small boat. They both wanted to go, and the only viable solution in their mind was a fight, the victor would go and seek out AFW. It was horrifying to both of them, they had their scuffle, by this point Hava and Zohara were equals and Zohara had managed to win. Not wanting to leave her lover, her friend, her only real companion now, Zohara whispered a promise to get enough money to get Hava to AFW as well someday.

From there, Zohara found herself on dangerous streets, still trying to comprehend life outside of the wilds. With a few months time, she had a basic grip on it, she had little trouble surviving on the streets, save for being arrested a few times. Still, the girl's persistence payed off, as she eventually found herself in an AFW try-out where she managed to impress and become an accepted member. She'd be payed to fight, it was easy money and it sounded incredibly fun.

Wrestling Attire: Zohara has a few attire choices, though she still dresses as she did when she belonged to her band of gypsies.
Her most seen attire is a brown leather, short, low-cut corset, with some traditional marking on them, depicting waves and other elements of the sea. The corset ends a bit before her navel, still exposing most of her midriff. She has brown leather, fingerless gloves of the same intricate design, they're fairly thin, but she will try concealing brass knuckles underneath them at times. Her pants are simple, slimfit patchwork, and are olive green in color with brown laces running up both sides. And she often will go into combat barefoot, or with her dark brown boots with a pointed toe.

Likes: Running, Parkour, Fighting, Alcohol, Traditional Dancing, Traditional Music, night, rainfall, the ocean.

Dislikes: Disrespect of her culture, blunt people, being called on one of her lies.
