AFW CANON
Recognises past AFW talent and relationships, depending on their own canon.
Personality
Julie is a cheerful and adventurous person. She’s usually in a happy mood and always ready to try new things. While being quite social, usually she only has a few close friends. Likes to party though, and travelling is her passion. Well, besides wrestling…
In the ring she has traditionally been an eager and brave contender, willing to do her best against any kind of opponent in any kind of match. The mentality has ended her up with a lot of losses, but she still enjoys the matches and the fight… Lately, she has evolved her wrestling persona though, and isn’t afraid to try to benefit from some mischievous acts and tricks in the ring. But she’s by no means truly mean!
Wrestling Information
Strategy: Julie’s strength in the ring is her speed. She tries to employ that, and some mischievous acts and tricks to confuse her opponent, or to get them ending up in a precarious situation. From there, she tries to get the upper hand, hoping to constantly stay one step ahead of the competition.
Julie always arrives in the ring with plenty of rope at hand, and if the rules of the match allow it, she’s not afraid to use it!
Style: Originally a wrestling fangirl turned into a wrestler, Julie’s style has always been a rather amateur one. Since starting her career though, she has gained more strength and experience, and these days is capable of trying out a considerable variety of moves. While she often aims to trick her opponents, she still is a fair fighter after all, always on the side of good. Her weakness though – in addition to her relative inexperience – is that if her strategy fails, it can be very difficult for her to turn things around to her advantage.
Preferred Attacks: Speedy moves avoiding attacks, trying to end up with strikes, sneaky attacks, or submission holds.
Preferred Matches: Julie is most used to standard matches, bed wrestling and submission matches. However, as an adventurous person, she’s quite willing to try anything new. Julie’s gimmick sees her always arriving in the ring with plenty of rope at hand, which is very much suited for bondage matches.
Attitude To Hentai: “Oh, weeeellll… I juuuust might… But SHH!!! Don’t tell Isa!”
Sexual Preferences: Lesbian. Curious to try different things. Wrestling holds certain sexual appeal to her. Wouldn't call herself a sub, but tends to get very turned on by getting dominated in different ways.
Physical Statistics
Endurance ★★★ – Julie isn’t one to give up easily, and is used to have quite long matches. However, she’s not good at taking really strong hits, or a proper beating.
Strength ★★½ – Since the beginning of her career, Julie has been quite frequently to the gym, trying to shape her body up to make it more suitable for a wrestler. She’s not the strongest yet, but still able to counter well average girls her size. But then again, she is quite small... And wrestlers are rarely average.
Speed ★★★★★ – Julie’s strategy really relies on speed, and that’s what she has naturally the most.
Defence ★★ – Julie has some defending skills, mostly ones relying on speedy moves, but gets in trouble if caught in holds.
Technique ★★★ – As a long-time wrestling fan she knows a lot of technique, and since the start of career, has managed to actually get some practice and improve it.
Wrestling Statistics
Strikes ★★½ – She’s good at strikes after some speedy moves, but otherwise doesn’t really pack a punch.
Submissions : ★★★½ – Julie is quite good at submissions, especially when getting her opponent in a precarious situation.
Powerhouse :★★ – Julie would really want to try out and perform some cool power moves, but she knows that she’s not strong enough yet to really succeed with them, save for the lightest opponents.
Aerials ★★★ – She knows quite a variety of aerial moves, but lacks somewhat in experience with them.
Counters ★★½ – Julie countering relies on being fast enough to avoid the attack, and then attack from the other side. But if she gets caught, her counters tend to be ineffective.
Strengths:
• Fast and agile (can make her hard to catch or hurt in some easier submission holds)
• Open-minded, positive and willing to experiment (truly has a passion for wrestling)
• Wrestling-nerd (has a lot of theoretical knowledge of wrestling moves)
• Some experience in Hentai (however from more private settings)
Weaknesses:
• Small size and lack of strength (can be an easy opponent for bigger and stronger wrestlers)
• Weak defending and countering skills (her main strategy is to outrun)
• Inexperience from wrestling in big leagues (lacks in practical experience compared to her theoretical one)
• Underdog mentality (while she has a passion for doing her best, she’s aware that her strength and skills can’t compare to most of the roster – this can lead into her entering matches even expecting to lose, and secretly enjoying submissive roles in bed does not help in Hentai matches)
Finishing Moves
The Hood of Doom: With a worn down or surprised opponent in front of her with their back facing her, Julie proceeds to put them into a tight Cobra Clutch hold. She also tries to let her hair fall over the opponents head, sometimes even “kissing them goodnight” under the “hood”.
Past
Spoiler
Julie was born in Dublin. Her mother was an accountant, and father a successful businessman. Her father had been assigned for a manager position in Canada, and had left there right before her mother found out she was pregnant. Hearing the news, he had promised to come back to Ireland as soon as possible. He never came, and a couple of years later Julie’s mother saw a picture of him with a younger lover.
Devastated for the father bailing out, Julie’s mother turned all her love and attention on her. She had a very protected childhood, but when becoming a teenager, that backfired. Julie started rebelling a lot against the limits her mother set her, wanting desperately to become more independent. Her father bailing out meant she never really learned to trust on boys, but she started sneaking often out with one of her friends, Katy. They became close, well, very close friends, often being intimate with each other.
Also as a teenager, Julie became hooked on wrestling. She wanted to watch every show, especially if women were involved. The fight for the win really appealed to her, and she often fantasized about being in the ring herself. Eventually, she ended up having some matches with Katy. Katy considered it more as a sexual foreplay, while for Julie the main point was the fight. She wanted to try all the tricks she had seen on Katy, and wasn’t happy when often Katy eventually just let Julie have her way with her, not really putting up a fight.
When Julie turned 19, two major changes faced her life. Firstly, Katy suddenly became involved with a guy. They soon ended up having an intense relationship, which left Julie heartbroken. Secondly, her mother also started dating a man, which made Julie wanting more and more independence. She decided to apply for the University of Iceland to study meteorology, and got accepted. It was time to move, and leave Ireland behind her.
After a year of studying and enjoying independence, Julie had to move into a shared apartment on the campus. She got herself a roommate, Isa. They soon became good friends. Julie was still having the wrestling addiction in her veins. One night they were sharing a bottle (or two) of wine together, Julie asked Isa whether she liked about wrestling. Isa admitted watching it a few times some years ago, but considered it to be a bit goofy men’s play. Julie then asked whether Isa didn’t think that girls could wrestle, to which she replied “Well, I guess they can…but do they?” “Haha, if you want, I can show ya…!” Julie told her.
Consequently, Julie started teaching Isa all kinds of wrestling moves. They ended up having a lot of bed wrestling matches together. Isa loved it, and learned quickly. Julie loved the way she was eagerly learning the moves, and started secretly having a slight crush on her. However, Julie was quite a bit smaller than her, so Isa soon became the dominant wrestler. She asked Julie what she thought about that, and Julie convinced that she loved wrestling her, even if she was doomed to be the jobber. But that they could always try to find out if there were any other eager wrestlers in the campus…
Isa and Julie decided to publish an invitation at the campus: “Any girls who love to wrestle are welcome to the gym campus at Midnight on Monday!” They were quite skeptical of anyone showing up, and wanted to time the event so that there wouldn’t be any unwanted visitors. However, a few girls actually showed up. Isa ended up inviting a lurking guy to join them, so eventually Julie got to taste how it was to wrestle a guy.
The group began to meet up every once in a while for a training session, and eventually ended up arranging some tournaments to perform for the other students of the campus. For that purpose they wanted to create unique wrestling aliases for each other. Julie came up with the “The Spunky Irish” for herself, which she considered to reflect well her cheerful and speedy style. Although trying not to get too much attention at first, the shows became popular events at the campus. For some reason, Isa happened to be the biggest wrestler of them all, and was usually the one who ended up winning. Meanwhile, Julie had become the group’s jobber. Although it wasn’t her intention, she didn’t really mind.
After a while, Isa announced she was going to head for her exchange studies in Japan. Julie didn’t take the news quite well at first. Even though it was supposed to be temporary, it meant that she would lose her dearest wrestling opponent, and their campus wrestling group would lose their brightest star. Then one night, Julie was watching an AFW wrestling night on her computer. Suddenly, she came up with a plan. Behind Isa’s back, Julie plotted a scheme to make her an application to AFW. Soon enough, Isa had been accepted. Julie grinned at the thought of watching Isa wrestle in Japan. It would be so much fun, almost as fun as… And in no time, she found herself filing another application, this time for herself. Julie was very excited about her plan, but was somewhat worried how Isa would react. And soon it was time for Julie to tell Isa the news.
Isa: “But… But… What were you thinking? Yeah I know I’m strong, and quite skilled, but I’m not a PRO!!”
Julie: “Oh don’t be silly… You’re the best wrestler of our group, don’t worry, it’ll go great!” “I can join ya!”
So the friends ended up in Japan, and wrestling in the ranks of AFW. While Julie wasn’t doing all that great, Isa on the other hand showed some good potential. After being trained by some powerful and experienced wrestlers, Isa established herself as a notable contender in the league. This caused also the recruiting agents of LAW to spot her talent, and lure her to sign on a deal to wrestle for LAW as well.
Needless to say, Julie needed to join. Plus, after her rather poor start for her career, the Irish girl felt like she could use a fresh start. Thus, she devised herself “The Velvet Hood” persona, wanting to prove the world that she was no longer just a fangirl trying to wrestle, but a true contender inside the ring as well!

Match Ideas Standard, submission, POW… Julie is ready and eager to try out many kinds of matches! No hardcore though… She might also be willing to try out some lewder match types. Also, Julie’s gimmick sees her always arriving in the ring with plenty of rope at hand, which is very much suited for bondage matches.
Possible Opponents As The Velvet Hood, Julie is eager to try putting some mean girls to their places! However, she is ready to face all kinds of fun opponents. Although she can usually be truly competitive only against lightweight, or lower middleweight opponents…
