Theme Song: “I Will Be Heard” by Hatebreed
Entrance Description:

“NOW! IS THE TIME! FOR ME TO RISE! TO MY FEET!
WIPE YOUR SPIT! FROM MY FACE! WIPE THESE TEARS! FROM MY EYES!”

The lights flicker and static with the opening chords of Hatebreed’s “I Will Be Heard.” As the song rips through the arena, whipping the rabid fans into a frenzy, the curtain flips open. Josie Grey slowly strolls out as the lights spiral, her hands in the pockets of her black varsity jacket. Her mouth is covered by a black Bandana, and on top of her head, a black Superare beanie. She cracks her neck and stops at the top of the ramp, pulling her hands out of her pockets and sliding up her sleeves, before stalking down to the ring.

“Introducing First!/And Her Opponent! From Paris, France, she weighs in at 120 pounds…SHEEEE IS THE PRRRODIGY…JOSIE…GRRRRREEEEEEEYYYYYYYY!”

Josie approaches the ring and makes a sharp turn on her heel towards the steps, stopping at the bottom and taking a knee. She places her hands on the top step and uses it to crack her knuckles, before scurrying to her feet and up to the apron. Josie slows down, taking careful steps as she walks the apron, looking out at the crowd…

NOW I’VE DONE THINGS I REGRET!
AND IT’S TIME TO REVERSE THE ROLES!
I JUST WANT TO MAKE GOOD ON!
ALL THE PROMISES I HAVE MADE
(I Will Be)

Josie rips off her bandana as the fans scream along…

I!
WILL!
BE!

I WILL BE HEARD!

I!
WILL!
BE!

I WILL BE HEEEEARD!

Josie turns and roars through the ropes, making a beeline for the opposite ropes. She jumps and stands on the second rope, slowly cutting at her throat with her thumb before hopping back down and taking off her beanie. She takes off her jacket and tosses it out of the ring,
IF OPPONENT IS ENTERING NEXT: Josie then stalks towards the ramp side ropes and steps through them, standing on the apron, waiting for her opponent.
IF OPPONENT IS IN RING: She approaches her opponent and gets close, nose to nose if applicable, and smirks, talking random shit in French. As the ref separates them, Josie smirks and shoves them away, returning to her corner on her own.
Ring Attire: Black thigh length boxing shorts with “JOSIE” written in gold olde English font on the front waistband, “PRODIGY” in the same style on the back, Academie de Revenant patch on right thigh, Tarah Nova’s Underground patch on the left; white sky-top boots (to about mid-calf), black sports bra covered by a deep tank cut death metal, hardcore punk, or ABBA t-shirt.
Red hand wraps.

Motivations for competing:
Cos fighting and wrestling is extremely fun.
To prove I’m not the same Josie that everyone beat up and laughed at.

Would your character cheat?: /As Needed

Strengths:
I’m A Fucking Prodigy - I’m not spitting bullshit. I’m not just making up a cute name. I’m the definition of a prodigy. Anything I try, I master at an incredible speed. Of course, it depends on the difficulty, how quickly I master it, but I can speak 4 languages, am a bar certified lawyer in France and the US, was on the French National Fencing Team at 16 after starting fencing at 15…I’m a prodigy. And a fire starter. Smack my bitch up.
Pain Is Weakness Leaving The Body - I really don’t give a shit if I get hurt. I’m fine. Oh no, barbed wire…oh no, razors…oh no…when you’ve had your eye ripped out by a bear and been attacked by a wolf, pain in a wrestling ring is kinda…not much.
For the record, the bear claw hurt more.
French Deadpool (Le Deadpool) - Ok, I Know…that’s kinda “hey, you can’t call yourself that!” And I get it, but also go fuck yourself. You know how Deadpool is hella adaptable and fuckin weird and unpredictable and that gives them an advantage? Yeah, me too. Minus the pansexual part.
Icewoman - I like people, but dude…if you think I give a shit what happens to you in the ring, you should probably go work at, like…I dunno…nothing. At your house. At bouncing a ball. Cos you’re stupid. I’m sorry. Point is: Anything goes in the ring.


Weaknesses:
Greener Than Goose Shit - Ok, so…I know I said I master things hella fast, and I do (what’s up English language?), but I ALSO said more complicated things take longer, aaaand fighting and wrestling are pretty damn intricate. So while I’m hella good, I’m also prone to occasionally doing something…dumb.
Shockingly Emotional for a Frenchwoman - Ok, so…I ALSO know I said I’m an icewoman and don’t care about shit, but that only applies to YOU. I don’t care about YOU. Unless I do! …this makes sense… anyway, yeah, if I start losing momentum or get desperate, yeah…I might get emotional, and yeah, I might act crazy and do weird shit. SUE ME. I grew up in the 2000’s.
Napoleon Was Small, Too… - ok, so…I’m not SAVANNAH small (Peter Dinklage) but I’m petite. Most of the time that doesn’t matter, but when it DOES…sacrebleu, does it matter…

Gimmick: French Deadpool. But a chick. Who wrestles.

Is Fight Me a gimmick?

I have no idea. Let’s figure it out together, oui?

Taunts/Mannerisms: If I don’t like someone, I’ll look down my nose at them. I’m French, I can’t help it.
Main taunts: middle finger, pretending to nap, laying across the top turnbuckle, mock clapping, checking her nails, teaching opponent how to fight mid Fight (like Max Holloway)
Wake Up Taunt: I guess I go into a trance and yell “Se lever!” at my opponent till they get up. I dunno. Can neither confirm nor deny.

Weapon of Choice: I like kendo sticks. And if alllllll else fails, my trusty switchblade Stacy.
Wrestling Style: Place an [X] in front of those that apply. [] HIGHFLYER [X] BRAWLER [] DIRTY [X] HARDCORE [] LUCHA LIBRE [] POWERHOUSE [X] PURORESU [X] SUBMISSION [] TECHNICAL
Favorite Match Type(s): Fights. Jawns where I can let loose and just beat the shit out of people. So like…well, anything, really…I kinda like em all.
Least Favorite Match Type(s): We in Wolvesden were trained to despise casket matches…that’s it
