Past + Personality
Jade Cho is a plucky prodigy kendo practitioner from a long lineage of kendo practitioners who own a well-renowned dojo in Kyoto. From a very young age, Jade was blessed with her very own shinai and her family, as was tradition, let her customize the color and take care of it herself. A swordsman/woman was only as strong as their blade, and the girl vowed to always keep it in top shape. Just like her weapon, she was strong, balanced, and capable of great feats. She drilled her forms with fervent passion, practicing with her god-given natural talent and enhancing them further. Her speed was near blinding and she even impressed her family's most elder practitioners with her knowledge on older techniques. She excelled in school and was a fairly popular girl, even getting some of her friends to join her in her family's dojo. Jade grew up in a fairly strict and traditional household, but her life would change forever when she got swept up in the revolutionary concept that was sweeping the nation by storm... - PRO-WRESTLING -
The flair, the moves, the skill, the personalities!!!! It was all a hurricane of bombastic beautiful and brutality. Jade was hooked instantly, gushing about it with her friends both male and female as Japan's pro-wrestling scene began to explode in popularity...seeing that even females were not only rising alongside their male counterparts...Face, Heel, and all those in-between...but that females were actively pushing the boundaries AND leading the charge on the frontlines. Japan's pro-wrestling federations all began to be rise with female wrestlers looking to compete, each of them with stunning levels of prowess. It wasn't even just about them being pretty faces, though indeed they all had that flash and beauty that captured the crowd, but they also had the skills as they continued making their voices be HEARD. (all of this done as a nod to Stardom)
Just turning 18, Jade secretly enrolls in wrestling training camps led by a wrestling idol of hers...her grappling skills obviously need work but her skills when it comes to a kendo stick planted underneath the ring are astounding, leading to her being quite the rising star amongst the trainees. Her martial arts background helps with her palm strikes and kicks, and while she struggles with grapples and power moves, she's still a spirited fighter despite being an obvious greenhorn...
Eventually, she gets found out by her parents and is forbidden from shaming them any further, a young woman doing such things was unheard of...they needed to be noble, humble, and reserve from being overly zealous and flashy zeal. However, when her idol notices that she's been gone from training without reason (which would be totally unlike her), she goes to her home and the dojo and tries to reason with her parents, eventually letting it slip that their daughter got a position in a high-class federation that was gaining traction, a nearly all-women roster one at that, LAW...after begging and pleading, the parents begrudgingly let her participate due to the sheer amount of passion she showed. The daughter fervently thanks her parents bowing her head to the floor, crying tears of joy and gratitude, fervently thanking her parents for everything...the daughter promised to spread her family's kendo style far and wide, and that she'll bring honor to it in the most revolutionary way ever...within the squared circle
Personality: Jade is a very bubbly, happy-go-lucky gal with an amazing personality. She's respectful, humble, and moderate in the ring...as well as VERY serious. Outside the ring, she's a very energetic young woman and a nice girl to talk to. A total nerd, especially when it comes to anime and pro-wrestling...any disrespect towards her, her family, or her family's sword style especially will be met with hostility beyond your comprehension. Outside of that, she's a very pleasant young lady.

Attitude towards Hentai: "I-I would NEVER!!! I have F-FAR too much honor to even t-think of such a disgusting thing!!! P-PERVERT!!"

General Stats
-Endurance: 4/5 - Not that durable, in fact this stat is more representative of her large pool of stamina which pairs greatly with her speed.
-Strength: 3/5 - Moderate strength, could lift someone her own size but not much more than that without assistance. Packs a good punch, however.
-Speed: 5/5 - VERY fast, very energetic, especially with her shinai in hand. She moves like a blur and is hard to catch from time to time.
-Defense: 2/5 - Knows how to dodge, parry, and counter in order to avoid taking hits...of which she cannot handle much of.
-Technique: 2/5 - Skilled in martial arts as well as various submission holds on the ground.
Wrestling Stats
-Strikes: 4/5 - Trained in martial arts as well as being a prodigy kendoka; Jade's no stranger to hand-to-hand with or without her weapon of choice.
-Submissions: 3/5 - Picked up submissions quickly, her training in karate forms helped discipline her into drilling her moves with precision.
-Power Moves: 1/5 - Not the strongest or most capable without momentum or the right opportunity.
-Aerial Moves: 1/5 - Prefers to stay as grounded as possible, will only 'fly' if it proves to be during a key opportunity.
-Counters: 4/5 - Being very strike-heavy and coming from a background of rigorous training prior to entering LAW, counter-attacking, disarming, and dodging is almost like second nature to her.
