Background: Never having excelled in school, Hana found herself without a sure path in life. Not coming from money and too shy to really strike out on her own, Hana found herself without many options other than her relying on her curvy looks to support herself.
Starting out as a gravure model, Hana never really had the mindset for it. She was bashful, shy, and most of all, she wanted to be more respected. To that end, Hana began investing more time in the gym, pushing herself past maintaining a toned figure and going into bodybuilding. She found some success here, but the nature of the competition still didn't suit her. The difference between bodybuilding and gravure modeling was stark, but Hana felt she was still being judged solely on her looks.
Things began to turn around for Hana after she started speaking with wrestling trainers backstage at competitions. In the United States, they told her, the progression from bodybuilding to professional wrestling was considered natural. In Japan, Hana was told she might not reach the sheer skill level of a trained joshi wrestler, but her power could still be a major advantage in the ring. Thinking that this could lead to the respect she craves, Hana began to train, and make the transition to professional wrestling.
Training & Style: Hana's training has mostly focused on her sheer power, her lifting strength being her greatest advantage in the ring. Hana has been training for a handful of months, but her power advantage has seen her take to grappling easily. Her development has gone quickly, and she's already developed enough solid fundamentals to try and take her competition up to the big stage.
Experience: Hana is still a total novice in the ring. While she knows enough to pull off moves and can work a fairly lengthy match, Hana still needs much more time in the ring to try and find herself.
Signature Moves: Lifting and power moves, such as body slams, gorilla presses, and spinebusters. Anything that lets Hana hoist another girl up, and slam her down.
Specialty Move-
Bearhug: Hana is encouraged to use this move by her trainers. Locking her wrists around the opponent's lower back, Hana grinds them against her toned body as hard as she can, both squeezing the air out of them and smothering them with her impressive chest.
Favorite Match: Basic one-on-one matches.
Attitude: Despite her powerful body, Hana lacks in confidence. Despite her skimpy ring gear, Hana is bashful, easily embarrassed and often intimidated in the ring. She is still desperate for respect and exposure, however, and fights hard to try and earn it. Hana hates to give up, and will fight as long as she can to avoid the humiliation of defeat.
In matches and against her opponents, Hana will seem cold and cool- at least, as best she can. She's naturally a very quiet person, making some think of her as unfriendly and distant. Hana tries her best to utilize this, thinking that it might make her seem tough or fearless. It's a fairly easy ruse to see through, however, and most opponents can see the poor girl shaking despite her muscular frame.
Outside of the ring, Hana is something of a recluse. Not unfriendly, she can be drawn out of her shell. However, at the end of the day, she would rather be alone. Her apartment is a testament to this, mostly filled with stuffed animals and lacking any area to entertain guests. She even works out at odd hours, studying gyms to see when the fewest people might be there.
Crowd Reaction/Fan Base: Hana's looks and underdog persona make the fans rally behind her, even if her chances of actually winning are often less than stellar. Fan anticipation of her getting a win seems to build, no matter how many times that hope gets dashed on the rocks of greater experience and competitive drive.
