Personality & History:
Gemma's adventurous, both in and out of the ring. She's eager to prove herself in the ring, but also can't resist a chance to show off a bit as she does so. Gemma gets frustrated when things don't go to plan, but nothing seems to get her down for too long.
Gemma grew up in the wrestling business, daughter of legendary British grappler Mickey Faraday. When her father passed, Gemma decided to strike out on her own and develop her skills by wrestling in Japan. Her time in the ring has brought her friends, fans and even the occasional lover, but the success she craves still seems to elude her.
A truly abysmal tag team record eventually got to be too much for Gemma, causing her to turn on her partner Holly and humiliate her in the ring, ending their tag team association. Gemma now pursues success as a singles competitor in LAW, hoping that she can refocus her energy on the things that have brought her some small success in the past.
Training & Wrestling Style: Gemma trained under the hands of her parents, Victoria and Mickey Faraday. Coming up in the British indies, Gemma learned to focus on her high-flying acrobatics, hard-hitting brawling and even some brute hardcore skills. Gemma has strong legs and tries to wear down her opponents with hard kicks and leg scissors in the opening moments of any given match. From there, she'll move into the riskier stuff, such as diving moves and complex submission holds to wear her opponents down.
Experience:Several years, starting out in the British indie scene and then working for a couple of promotions in Japan. Gemma is something of a journeyman in the wrestling business.
Signature Moves: Dropkick, headscissor, chops, a variety of kicks, springboard maneuvers, and anything that gets her body moving around the ring.
Bomber Jacket- Gemma mounts an opponent stunned on the ropes, straddling them with her feet resting on the middle rope. From there, she hooks both arms and locks her fingers behind their back. From there, she pushed off the ropes to spike their head against the mat with a springboard butterfly DDT.
Air Raid Siren- With an opponent downed on the mat, Gemma will mount the top turnbuckle. She licks a finger, raises it into the air to "test the wind," then leaps off to hit the victim with a punishing 630 splash.
Favorite Match: Specialty hardcore matches.

Partners, Friends, Etc.: None, per se.

Biggest Win: “Nothing in LAW, which squalling sucks, but I’m going to change that!”
Worst Loss: “Not my loss but getting beaten by DDT in just a couple of minutes was too humiliating to bear. Never going to let such a sorry loss happen again!”
Attitude: Though recently frustrated, Gemma is usually an upbeat wrestler that tries her hardest every time she’s in the ring. Something of a daredevil, Gemma likes to seek out risky spots at times, though she tempers that bravado with some common sense. Currently, Gemma is an enthusiastic learner, but she’s realizing she needs to temper certain habits in order to improve.
Fan Base & Reaction: Usually, Gemma’s fun style and good looks, coupled with her high flying antics, get her a good reaction from the fans. She likes to play to the crowd and respects the rules of the ring. However, it remains to be seen how fans will take to Gemma after she turned on her tag team partner, Holly.
Titles Held: None
Career Highlights: TBD
Wrestling Ambitions: “I want to turn my career around. I’m still pretty young, and honestly, I kind of want to start redeeming my name a bit. I’ve let myself get held down for too long, and now I think it’s time to show the business what the Faraday name really means!”
