Personality:
Himari is a prideful competitor, proud of her achievements and of how far her career has taken her. Despite that pride, she remains humble at heart, always seeking out a hard-fought contest and believing that a defeated opponent often deserves just as much respect as the victor.
Honor is important to her, but not absolute. Himari has no problem bending the rules when the situation demands it, though she rarely acts with malice. She’s highly observant, constantly taking mental notes on the people around her — whether inside or outside the ring — and uses those impressions to anticipate motivations, predict her opponent’s next move, and plan the perfect counter.
Outside the ring, Himari embraces a very different side of herself. She loves the nightlife, often found in clubs dancing, flirting, and chasing the thrill of the moment. That flirtatious streak sometimes slips into her performances in the ring as well, regardless of the type of match, adding an unpredictable edge to her presence.
Himari also isn't above being a complete troll to piss off someone she doesn't like or someone who doesn't like her. Words and actions can be and are often powerful, and she has no problem using some to knock people down a few pegs.

Backstory:
Born to a Japanese father and an Australian mother, Himari grew up bright and curious, fluent in both of her parents languages at an early age. She had a pretty ordinary and comfortable upbringing, playing sports from early childhood, starting with softball before gravitating toward martial arts as her age approached the double digits. Starting with Karate and then Judo a year later, they became her strongest foundations, earning her a purple belt in Karate and a brown belt in Judo, with the goal of eventually testing for her black belt in each.
Wrestling was something Himari watched on and off during her youth but never seriously considered. That changed when she was sixteen, searching for a new challenge beyond the martial arts she already knew. Wrestling seemed like the perfect blend of what she loved, the athleticism of combat sports and the theatricality of the films she enjoyed in her downtime. She took to training for wrestling quickly, focusing on adapting her martial arts background into sharp strikes and tight submissions before learning some of the highflying and faster hitting offense that came with the world of wrestling. Even in those early years, her calculated presence and gracefulness caught some attention. It looked almost regal, the way the wrestled and carried herself, earning her the nickname “The Aethereal Empress.”
After just a year of training and a half of training and practicing, Himari debuted at age seventeen and immediately fell in love with life inside the ring, the crowd, the lights, the mental chess match she played against almost every opponent. She ended up working for several Japanese promotions, winning her first championship by the time she was twenty before expanding to compete in Australia as well. Whenever a Japanese company toured overseas, she seized the chance to wrestle in the United States, steadily broadening her name. Along the way, she tested herself outside wrestling too, stepping briefly into MMA here and there along with a few boxing bouts. While not her main focus, the experience sharpened her striking and toughness before she returned to wrestling full time.
With every good thing, came the bad though. Her rise nearly came crashing down in a cage match for a title. Scaling the cage to try and escape and win the match he was pulled down harshly and violently, landing awkwardly and roughly on her left leg and blowing out her knee. The injury ended the match instantly, and with her contract lapsing soon after, promotions moved on without her. For a time, it seemed like her career had ended before it truly peaked.
But Himari’s pride refused to let the story end there. Her leg never healed perfectly, yet she forced herself back to training, documenting her recovery online to show fans that she would not be broken. She rebuilt herself as she always had through discipline, observation, and relentless work. That determination caught the attention of LAW, the biggest promotion yet, and they offered her the chance to return to the spotlight where others had turned their backs.
