AFW CANON
Every events happened here is part of the AFW-LAW verse, and it's connected to each other. Anything Gabbie does here also connects to her AFW canon. However, her Fargus Multiverse self (for my novel and multimedia projects like Kindred Hearts) is separated from this.
Appearance
Gabbie is a 21-year old martial artist with a short messy golden blonde hair with pink tips that often gets in her face. It's messy and she pins it back with a pair of barrettes and a hair scarf (usually white or blue, sometimes black), knotted into a shape resembling a pair of rabbit's ears. She has water blue eyes that can look aqua in certain lights. They look hard against her thin but smooth skinned face. Her nose is small but slightly pronounced and her ears are just a little bit bigger than they should be on her. She also has small fangs on her upper jaw, usually seen whenever she opens her mouth, a pair of soft pinkish cheeks and mascara on her eyelashes. Gabbie's body is toned and although she isn't the tallest girl around, she looks like she's honed her body in pursuit of her craft despite looking a little young for her age. She also has mid-sized breasts, around C cup in size.
Personality
Gabbie is a tomboyish yet naive girl, though sometimes she can be reckless and also aggressive, especially when fighting someone. However, she treats her friends well, even if one of them is her own rival. She believes that everything can be solved by working together, though sometimes she'll go head on all by herself out of her recklessness. She is also very defensive, and will do anything to protect her friends.
Wrestling Information
Strategy: Gabbie is more careful and sometimes reckless. She usually studies her opponent first before making the first move.
Style: A mixture of pro-wrestling, kickboxing. Savate, Muay Thai and MMA. She's almost a jack of all trades, though she's mostly a striker than a grappler kind of fighter, since her knowledge on submission holds are limited.
Type: Striker.
Preferred Attacks: Armbars, knee strikes, kicks, punches and grapples/submission holds.
Preferred Matches: Submission, knockout, regular and humiliation.
Attitude To Hentai: Gabbie does not do hentai matches. Sorry!

Past
Gabbie was the youngest child of a Japanese father from Jōetsu, Niigata Prefecture and a Canadian mother from Toronto, Ontario. Her paternal grandfather used to be the governor of Niigata Prefecture until his retirement somewhere around the late 2000s, while the Minato clan used to be one of the Yakumo clan's retainers, mostly working as magistrates, advisors and strategists. She spent most of her lives in her mother's hometown alongside her elder sister Amy. Her mother's family and relatives owned a Savate instruction school and trained Gabbie from a young age. The girl fell in love with it and kickboxing and wanted to use her training to go pro one day. Being a part of the Minato clan, Gabbie grew up to be quite the fast learner.
Her younger sister seemed like a prodigy as well, however, she decided to train in Jiu Jitsu rather than kickboxing. As the Minato sisters grew up, they sparred for each other and Gabbie developed some talent for Jiu Jitsu but never committed to it as heavily, unlike Amy. They both shared success and Gabbie had won every competition she entered in kickboxing. Her elder sister had nearly the same success, but in Jiu Jitsu, she would always make it to the finals and lose. Gabbie was infuriated at how her elder sister could never get over that hump when she was obviously the best around. During her high school days, she event met Hiroki, who happened to be studying abroad in Canada under his elder brother, Hayato's behest, but their friendship didn't lasted long since Hiroki had to return to Japan.
Gabbie continued to focus on her kickboxing, however, she packed up and moved to Thailand after graduation from high school thanks to a friend of hers. She joined a professional Muay Thai circuit and excelled there as well, bringing her own skill set to the sport. She would have been content to dominate in Thailand until she got an unexpected visit from a shady organization known as Valhalla. Gabbie was kidnapped by them, until Daiki fought his way through Valhalla's forces and freed her from the organization, as she was about to be brainwashed into one of Valhalla's mindless henchwomen. Upon saving Gabbie, Daiki showed an interest in her and as a gift, he welcomed her into LAW for her to look for new friends and sharpen her fighting skills.
