Wrestling Style and History:
Before Wrestling
Aurora is an intelligent and pragmatic girl that grew up with an aptitude for academia. As a child growing up, especially one that performed well in her accelerated courses, Aurora was much quirkier than her peers. Having conformed to the stereotypes one would associate with a smaller, nerdy girl, she faced challenges in the form of bullying and heckling. Towards the end of high school, this culminated in her reinventing herself as more of an extrovert and training herself to become comfortable in front of crowds and people in general. Aurora would gradually work her way towards building her confidence and coming into her own as a mature, young woman. She took speech classes, dance classes, rhythmic gymnastics, and so on. She didn't enjoy theater at first, but the more she tried performance arts, the more she found that it helped her grow her confidence. Eventually, she branched out to pastimes like dance and improv. As she continued exploring, Aurora took up the odd gig here and there, making fast friends and becoming more confident until she eventually referred to a gig to be a round girl/ring girl, holding up the cards between rounds at boxing and MMA matches. While she didn't take to those quickly, she was scouted as a prospect for a local wrestling promotion. First as a valet/eye candy. But it didn't take long for her to try lacing up some boots and trying her hand at wrestling in the ring.
Aurora had a friend at a wrestling gym show her the ropes. At the time, she was only working there as a valet to accompany the talent to the ring. To her friend's surprise, Aurora was a very quick study. The first time Estrella sparred with this girl at the wrestling gym, a trainer there witnessed it and offered Estrella the chance to formally train her. Aurora took the trainer up on it and tried her hand at the whole wrestling shtick. Becoming proficient in so many physically demanding hobbies throughout junior high and early highschool gave her a leg up on other trainees around her age. After finishing training, she did well in her tryouts and decided to give wrestling a try when she got approved. She was a natural in the ring, picking things up much faster than your average wrestler. It didn't hurt that she could have some fun, too. The hardest part was landing on a gimmick. Something that would help her connect with a crowd. Aurora tried many costumes and personas. She wrestled as a mad scientist, as a football player, as a cheerleader, and so on (she did really enjoy the scientist gimmick but it wasn't getting over). Eventually, the perky idiosyncratic girl settled on an outer space "galaxy" themed cat. Her initial inspiration came from the old nyancat meme. She retooled it with the help of a costume designer and came up with something really special.

Early LAW Career
As she rose through the ranks in the independents on the east coast of the US, LAW took notice of her. Eventually, as LAW continued to become a more and more prominent promotion, she was scouted and picked up by the organization. With a lucrative contract to her name, Aurora took up the task of trying to be a successful wrestler and a successful college student at the same time!
Aurora got off to a strong start in her LAW Career. her resourcefulness, drive, and her ability to think on her feet helped her adapt to various match-ups and succeed in situations where she was a hairsbreadth away from defeat. Aurora's demeanor during this time was more on the aloof side. While she would never act malicious for the sake of it, Aurora relied heavily on her many different opponent's tendencies to underestimate her based on her looks and demeanor. And this strategy worked to great effect, earning her an undefeated streak which she became known for!

Present Day LAW Career and Wrestling Style
Her adventures at LAW had her get lumped in with Katherine Hart and Tracy Canon during a faction war between the two cats and the three-woman dog stable, Cerberus. Having been accused of being a SWAT Cat, Kat and Tracy decided to roll with it and welcome her into the fold! Cerberus had unknowingly made the team that much stronger and more well-rounded! And Aurora found lifelong new best friends in Tracy and Katherine Hart. Her dynamic with Tracy sees the two playfully tease one another. Though there was friction between them at first in how their very different approaches towards most things in general, they've since seen eye to eye and developed a sisterly bond. Aurora has also learned a great deal from Kat and values The Super Kitty's experience, wisdom, and wrestling acumen. It was her training and bonding with both Kat and Tracy that helped Aurora bring her tag team wrestling skills up to par with her singles wrestling skills and ultimately helped imbue her with her own brand of confidence in her wrestling, in what being a wrestler means to her, and in herself.
In the present day, Aurora graduated early from college and focused on LAW full-time. She truly enjoys connecting with the fans, and when she can, connecting with her opponents as well. She no longer pretends to be aloof. With her undefeated streak still intact, and her status as an Inaugural World Tag Team Champion, her opponents bring the fight to her relentlessly, and she's learned to adapt as best she can!
Despite her size, Aurora is a capable all-arounder in the ring. She wrestles a rather balanced style, exhibiting different moves and strategies based on what her competition is capable of and based on what opportunities present themselves. While she doesn't bring a ton of power to the table, her ability to use all other move categories and her ability to think on her feet and keep her offense varied help her adapt to her competition.

Aurora is fun-loving and sweet. She's very observant, perceptive, and contemplative. Her tag partners often call her the brains of the team. She often breaks things down pragmatically and she works/thinks meticulously when problem-solving.
Aurora has taken her time exploring herself as a person and what wrestling means to her. She's discovered her confidence and she derives fulfillment from connecting with fans and with fellow wrestlers. The more she feels she understands her peers, the more capable she feels about her ability to make herself useful.
Aurora will typically disengage from people she and situations that she finds overly/needlessly aggressive or fruitless. People that jump the gun, are incapable of diplomacy, or are otherwise delusional are all pet peeves of hers.
Finishing Moves:
Drops of Jupiter
A Double Moonsault executed from the top rope. Aurora generates enough torque and momentum to manage two rotations. Tracy is capable of using the move as well, but Aurora will tell you that she was doing it first (and she's right!). Though the two poke fun at each other for it, it was actually Tracy that helped coach Aurora to perfect the move and use it as a finisher.
Lunar Eclipse
A Code Red, also known as a sunset flip powerbomb, allows Aurora to use a foe's weight and momentum to help her slam them down into sitout position for a pin! Can be executed from the standing, the corner, and even from the top rope!
Solar Eclipse/KCM
Aurora had used this move on her own in singles competition under the name "Solar Eclipse".The move is essentially a Single Leg Crap with an Armbar, straining an opponent's arm, leg, and back.
After meeting Tracy and Katherine and bonding with them, she had put forward the idea of making it their team's shared submission finishing hold. When used with her team, they refer to it as the K.C.M. for "Kitty Combat Maneuver", but commentators and fans will still call it "Solar Eclipse" when Aurora is in solo competition, out of respect for her solo career beforehand.
The Cats can tap someone out individually with the move, or two Cats can double up on one opponent, taking an arm and a leg each to apply double the pressure and double the pain!

Star Cross
A variation of the Indian Deathlock taught to Aurora by Kat. After passing the KCM finisher onto her team, Katherine repaid Aurora by training with her to come up with a new submission finisher to add to her arsenal! This leglock ties up the opponent's lower body and targets the hips and legs, allowing Aurora to trap even her most physically imposing foes in a hold that can earn her the win!
