Personal Info

Personality: Esther is a unique blend of Southern hospitality and boundless energy. Despite being a bit scatterbrained at times, her positivity and passion are infectious. Growing up in Mississippi, she learned the value of hard work on her family farm, but her heart always yearned for the excitement. She has natural charm and poise. Esther loves to party and has never met a stranger, making friends wherever she goes. This open-hearted nature, however, sometimes leads her into tricky situations, as her trusting disposition can be easily exploited by those with less-than-honorable intentions.

Whether she's competing in wrestling, bodybuilding, or hogtying, Esther approaches every challenge with passion and positivity. The setbacks she faced in the rodeo queen competitions only fueled her desire to flaunt her individuality even more, demonstrating her resilience against conventional expectations. Despite her inexperience in professional wrestling, her infectious charisma and fearless approach quickly caught the eye of scouts and carry her through life in general.

History: Esther grew up in Mississippi, amidst rolling fields and the simplicity of farm life. From a young age, she was taught the value of hard work and perseverance, helping her family tend to their crops and care for their livestock. Yet, there was always a spark of something more within Esther. She had a flair for extracurricular activities that fulfilled some of her need for new experiences. She had a passion for the glitz and glamour of pageants, and she showed her natural charm and poise on stages far removed from the muddy fields of her family's farm.

She wrestled for a while in high school among many many other activities, using them as opportunities to meet new people. But she became more focused as she aged, and she tried to apply her love for pageants, partying, and competition to becoming a rodeo queen. But Esther faced setbacks; her figure, more slender-chested strongwoman than hourglass, didn't align with the rodeo queen stereotype. People reminded her of this frequently, and though it just led to her flaunting herself more and more, it didn't lead to much success in that particular field.

Undeterred, Esther redirected her focus to bodybuilding and hogtying competitions for a while, eventually making her way back to wrestling... and adding some hogtying fun to that arena, too. After all, she had never found failure in other aspects of her life, and in fact, the experience emboldened her. She became more of a flaunter, taking some pay to model bikinis, and more of a partier, and some wild nights threatened to get in the way of her life at home.

As Esther honed her skills on the local wrestling circuit, her talent caught the eye of scouts from the League of Anime Wrestling in Japan. The prospect of wrestling in such a big league appealed to her adventurous spirit. Despite being relatively inexperienced compared to seasoned wrestlers, Esther embraced the challenge wholeheartedly. Leaving behind the familiar comforts of her Mississippi farm in search of adventure, Esther embarked on a journey to Japan.

Extra Facts:

• Won numerous state youth competitions for quick tying of ropes.
• Loves the water and served as a lifeguard at her local beach several summers. An excellent swimmer.
• Has won the Easter bunny competition back home six years running. Yes, in a bunny suit.

Plot Ideas/Preferences

Match Ideas: Esther is a good bet for a range of matches, from submission to endurance-type matching like last woman standing to matches that focus on her knowledge of hogtieing. She also likes anything that relates to being showy with the competitor's bodies.

Her specialty match (again, thanks BlackAkuma!) is the Wrangler Match, in keeping with her rural background. Lassos are placed around a muddy ring. The first wrestler to tie the opponent until the opponent cannot rise before the end of a ten-count wins the match, and POW rules apply.
