Personality: Rosalyn is a particularly polite and friendly lady to meet with outside of the ring. She's always wearing a slight smile and appears to look fairly happy all the time regardless of whether she actually has reason to be or not. Conversation and interaction comes effortlessly to her, causing a number of people to actively avoid meeting her if they're even remotely in a hurry to be somewhere. Inside the ring, she appears to be more focused and confident, though still tends to smile and speak in a friendly way if her opponent hasn't agitated her to the point of anger. She rarely taunts her opponents, but has a tendency to underestimate their ability (She may well have quite an ego behind her friendly, well-maintained appearance).
History: Born in London, UK to extraordinarily wealthy parents, to say Rosalyn's childhood was sheltered and privileged would be the understatement of the century. Every minor need she had was seen to immediately by any one of two-dozen personal assistants and servants (That is, they were paid exclusively to see to Rosalyn. The total number of serving staff employed by her family numbered somewhere over 100). She attended an extremely prestigious all-girls private school, and focused her studies on history, mathematics, english literature, and so on. As with every other student, she did absurdly well in all areas.
With Rosalyn at age 12, after a large number of requests inspired by the sport gaining considerable popularity, her school created a wrestling team for competing against other schools, and a club for competing against other students. At first, Rosalyn didn't have too much interest in it; after all, she felt like her interest in gymnastics and ballet were more than enough exercise. But since most of her friends had signed on, Rosalyn went with them anyway. She seemed to have a sort of natural talent for it, gaining an above-average (though not "excellent" by anyone's standards) win rate a year later.
Her success with the sport (Not to mention how appealing it was for a teenage girl going through puberty to roll around with other lightly-dressed and attractive teenage girls) developed a big interest for her, and she begged her parents to get her a coach until they finally caved and hired half a dozen wrestling instructors. With their help, a 14-year-old Rosalyn was picked up by the school's wrestling team, and at 15 won a region-wide under-18 wrestling tournament inside her weight class. By the time she left school, aged 16, she had a collection of various trophies, medals, and awards for achieving first, second, or third place in a crazy number of events and tournaments.
Over the next couple of years, she developed her skills by competing in as many independent wrestling events and appearing on as many wrestling shows as she could get invitations to. Her reputation (and skill level) grew and grew until, a few weeks after her eighteenth birthday (Whether due to talent scouting, or just her family's connections), Rosalyn received an invitation to join the British wrestling team to fill their newly-opened Lightweight position to compete against international opponents. Not at all dissuaded by the idea of potentially becoming a celebrity, Rosalyn eagerly accepted and began training heavily. By the time her career peaked, she had developed great friendships with the bigger members of her team, and with some lightweights from other teams (Particularly her Canadian and German counterparts), while developing deep and bitter rivalries with some others (Not so surprisingly, the French team's lightweight. Though rumour says their rivalry also extends to the bedroom.)
Aged 21, Rosalyn was informed that she was to take part in a worldwide championship event where teams from around the world were to compete, in the style of the olympics. The event itself wasn't particularly appealing for Rosalyn when it finally arrived. There was a lot of rule-bending and (what seemed like) corruption when it came to some more well-known wrestlers, with some teams exploiting technicalities and loopholes to get bigger wrestlers to compete, and Rosalyn didn't particularly enjoy herself. Surprising even herself, she made it all the way to the second-to-last round of the finals, defeating twelve other lightweights from various countries, before being defeated in a very drawn-out fight with the French competitor.
Following that experience, she retired from the team and went out looking for independent work again, only to find a curious invitation from a wrestling organisation based on the other side of the world. Having heard good things about Japanese women's wrestling, and being something of a fangirl towards this particular organisation, Rosalyn accepted, and shipped off to Japan with her train of servants and coaches and friends to join LAW.

Fun Facts:
-) Most of Rosalyn's wardrobe is either blue, white, red, or gold. Or all at once. In fact, half of her clothing has a Union Jack on it somewhere.
-) Maybe inspired by public opinion towards her weight class, Rosalyn doesn't like being underestimated for being small.
-) On the topic of weight classes, Rosalyn has only competed against larger opponents twice. And lost both times.
-) Rosalyn does not own a single pair of pants. Her wardrobe is completely made up of dresses, skirts, or shorts.
Wrestling Information
Style: Rosalyn takes pride in being a very well-rounded wrestler. She's proficient (but not excellent) at striking, proficient in grappling, submissions, and fighting on the ground. The only style she particularly excels at is high-flying, where she is able to use her lightweight frame and acrobatic skill to her advantage.
Preferred Matches: Standard, submission, ladders, and so on make up Rosalyn's favourite matches.
Finishing Moves:
Tilt-a-Whirl DDT
Rosalyn dashes at an opponent, grabbing their shoulder and swinging her legs up around their head. From there, she performs a pretty spectacular 360 degree rotation around her opponent's body before hooking an arm around their head and dropping her weight down towards the canvas. If all goes to plan, this results in the victim crashing head-first into the canvas at quite some speed, a very devastating attack.
Spoiler
Easier to land against a stunned opponent, but she can pull it off against more aware opponents. Rosalyn raises her knee up high to be roughly aimed or level with her opponent's head. Then, she swings her foot out as hard as she can towards the side of the victim's skull. If it lands, it is quite devastating and can cause a K.O versus an unprepared opponent.
Spoiler
Cartwheel Powerbomb
Easiest against an opponent that is bending forwards, but can be performed against someone standing. Rosalyn rushes forwards towards her victim, performing a cartwheel once close enough and hooking her hands under both thighs halfway into the move. More often than not, this is enough to flip the opponent over onto their back, where Rosalyn typically applies a tight small package or matchbook pin.
Spoiler
Strength: 2/10 - Rosalyn is very much a lightweight, and so her body comes with all the compromises you'd expect. Her muscles are far from defined or built, and she doesn't really look like someone who fights for a living at all.
Stamina: 8/10 - Rosalyn has been wrestling for a long time, and training for even longer. She knows a lot about how to pace herself to prevent exhaustion, so can fight for long periods of time.
Endurance: 2/10 - Another compromise, her lack of muscle means she has very little protection against incoming damage, and so her body has trouble absorbing strong impacts in the same way middle or heavyweights can.
Speed: 10/10 - Rosalyn makes moving around the ring look almost like an art form. She can dodge and weave and make it look beautiful, no doubt owing to her enthusiasm for ballet. One moment she will be behind you, the next in front of you, and so on.
Flexibility: 10/10 - Gymnastics, ballet, and lightweight wrestling are like some perfect trio for flexibility. Rosalyn's body can bend and flow to an extraordinary degree, with no position or move being out of her reach.
Overall Difficulty Rating - 88/100 - Rosalyn is a very good wrestler, and makes for an extremely challenging opponent for other girls her size. She has experience, skill, and confidence all at once, making her belief that she can win every match seem less like a belief and more like a reality (To her, at least. In reality, she just has a good track record.)
Ring Attire - Rosalyn wears a tight, figure-squeezing blue leotard with one half of a giant, vibrantly coloured union jack across it, paired up with a set of simple white knee & elbow pads, blue knee-high boots, and red thigh-high socks. Rosalyn paid a considerable amount to ensure every individual piece of her attire fits to perfection with the others, and flawlessly outlines her body.
