[Backstory]
There are many mythological creatures roaming South America.. the Chupacabra, La Llorona, the Ahuizotl, but none can hold a candle to the most deadliest monster of all: Locabra Zandera!! Legend has it that she was once an ordinary girl by the name of Paprika who ran a popular flower shop alongside her family in Santiago, Chile. But an affair turned deadly when a homewrecker named Lyssa slipped on a puddle by "accident”, thus causing turmoil between the girl’s parents and leading to a divorce. Paprika would end up in the custody of her mother, who was not only a botanist.. but also a Luchadora!
Paprika was interested about her mother’s double life, and decided it would be a nice change of pace next to helping her with the flower shop. She watched some old tapes of her mother’s wrestling matches during the indie scene for reference, and was immediately hooked on it! Granted, she mistook it for an extreme hugging contest mostly due to how the wrestlers try to grab one another. During a sparring match against a fellow rookie, she found it difficult to try and hug her opponent.. which resulted in her getting frustrated to the point where she has to use some unconventional methods which lead to her victory.
Paprika would find out about LAW after she bumped into La Mariposa, a fellow luchadora who just so happens to be one of her mom’s friends. When she asked if her daughter would be able to join LAW, she accepted her offer. Now Paprika’s headed to Japan to not only make new friends, but to also spread the love by any means possible!
[Personality]
To say Paprika is crazy would be an understatement, if anything she’s completely unhinged when she gets inside the ring! Many people fear her for how dedicated she is to the sport, alongside her strength, speed and unpredictable nature! Yet underneath the mask, she only wants to spread the love however possible.. even if she doesn’t know the meaning of personal space.
