Gimmick
Selena Ruiz is the ultimate underdog advocate, a former jobber who now manages wrestling’s underdogs with unyielding optimism. Raised on the beaches of Daytona, she brings a laid-back, sun-soaked vibe to the ring, but don’t mistake her chill demeanor for weakness—her heart burns with determination to prove every jobber has a shot at glory. Known for her heartfelt promos and beach-bum charisma, Selena’s mission is to turn losers into legends, one match at a time.

Appearance
Selena’s look is pure Florida coast: sunkissed skin, long wavy blue hair (often in a messy bun or braid), and vibrant, beach-inspired outfits—crop tops, cutoff shorts, and flip-flops for promos, with sequined versions for ringside. She wears a subtle knee brace from her wrestling days and always sports oversized sunglasses, which she dramatically removes for promos. A vial of Daytona Beach sand stays in her pocket for “ocean luck.”

Background
Growing up on Daytona Beach, Selena was a surf-loving kid who fell in love with wrestling at local indie shows. As “Sunny Selena,” she wrestled for a decade, a plucky jobber known for her heart and crowd connection but never breaking through due to her size and a knee injury that ended her in-ring career at 32. Now, as a manager, she channels her resilience into guiding jobbers, believing anyone can shine with the right push. Her empathy and stubborn optimism make her a fan favorite, though promoters question her choice of “hopeless” clients.

In-Ring Career (Retired)
As a wrestler, Selena was a high-energy babyface who thrilled crowds with flashy moves and dramatic selling, despite always losing. Her matches were quick, crowd-pleasing affairs where she’d rally briefly before taking the fall.

Signature Moves:
- Tidal Wave Takedown: A spinning heel kick with a wave-like twirl, flashy but rarely effective.
- Sunset Splash: A second-rope diving crossbody, often missing for the opponent’s comeback.
- Boardwalk Bulldog: A running bulldog with a playful yell, dragging foes down like a wave.
- Sandy Snap: A snapmare into a low dropkick, a quick surprise for bigger opponents.

Roleplay Stats
- Promo Skill: 8/10 – Charismatic and heartfelt, though her beach metaphors can overstay their welcome.
- Ringside Impact: 6/10 – Great at boosting morale and distractions, but her clients’ losses limit her clout.
- Heat Meter: Moderate – Fans love her spirit, but her clients’ record keeps her midcard.
- Fan Reception: A forum darling for her underdog passion. Debates rage over whether she’s a genius or delusional.

Storyline idea
I am mostly looking for Selena to give jobbers encouragement before their matches, often romantically in out of the ring scenes. I would prefer the jobber loses the match, then Selena also comforts them after! I am open to other ideas as well of course, feel free to message!
