Fighting Style - Despite what her creepy skeleton persona might tell you, Mari is a flashy, high-flying striker. Dropkicks, moonsaults, dives, and generally throwing herself at the opponent with blistering speed is her main plan of attack. The ropes and corners are where Mari is her most dangerous, able to use her light frame to bounce around and over opponents to dizzy them, striking them at odd angles, and using her flexibility to her advantage in enduring submission holds.
Type - High Flyer, Striker
Basic Moveset - Elbow Drops, Dropkicks, Spears, Moonsaults
Strengths - Mary's two biggest strengths are her speed and flexibility. She's fast even by lightweight standards, using her size to outmaneuver opponents and keep them guessing. Her keep-away strategy also makes her very slippery and difficult to even get a hold of. And while her non-aerial strikes aren't hard-hitting, the number of them can easily whittle an opponent down both in strength and spirit.
Her flexibility is another aspect to her. Double jointed in both her shoulders and knees, she's able to stretch and contort herself at rather odd or near impossible angles, and is extremely difficult for an opponent to force a submission of her in non-chokeholds.
Weaknesses - Like with most people of her weight class, Mary is very susceptible to hard-hitting power moves. Her small frame can only take so much punishment before giving out, and that amount is pretty small to begin with her as her keep-away tactics are both to her strength and for her survival.
But her most damning weakness is Mari's own mental fortitude. For as much as she likes to lean toward being scary and her supposed love of the creepy and weird, Mari herself is extremely susceptible to fear tactics. A person with a scarier gimmick, an intimidating opponent, and even being locked in certain holds can have her freeze up in fear and leave her helpless against certain moves and tactics.
Signature Move(s)
- Skull Rattler: An Enzuigiri kick. If an opponent grabs Mary's leg she'll jump off with her free one and kick the back of her opponent's head. She'll also attempt this against a standing groggy opponent for a knockout strike and quick pin.
Spoiler
- Funny Bone: A diving elbow drop, often followed by a pin.
- Bone Popping Fun: An ankle lock. When an opponent is on their stomach and stunned Mary grabs their ankle, lifts it up to her shoulders before painfully twisting it for a submission.

Personality: At her core, Mary is an excitable girl with a love for all things creepy and occult, a love she's poured into both the ring and her daily life. She loves to taunt and tease her opponent with both her skeleton appearance and slightly unnerving behavior. Like a haunted doll, she'll speak in a excited tone about strange and violent things while keeping a straight face, casually discussing how much she'll enjoy chipping away at them while moving and behaving in an atypical manner.
Outside the ring though, Mari is... still rather odd and creepy person. She still discusses dark and strange subjects with a frightening level of normalcy, still moves and behaves in an odd manner, but rather than the excitable skeleton girl she is in the ring, she becomes a lot more deadpan and straightforward. Admittedly, she does this on purpose to get a rise out of friends and acquaintances, but does had a sarcastic streak to her when she's out of the ring.
History: Mari has had two great loves in her life: the occult and wrestling. She couldn't explain how or why those two came together for her, but she always found joy in exploring those two subjects. Most of her time was spent bouncing between her school's occult club and wrestling club, learning the basics of wrestling along with the finer points of creepy and spooky media. A bit of an oddball in her social circle, she was always seen as the weird girl, the strange child that could recommend someone 10 different horror films along with 10 different wrestling shows, the kid who's odd niches made them both an oddity and an attraction at the same time. And to her surprise, a lot of people in junior high days said she had a real knack for the squared circle. Far from prodigy and lacking the more refined experience of a proper wrestler, she still grasped the basics of the sport quickly and was able to win a few silver medals and trophies for her school. And soon after graduating high school she was curious to continue the sport while looking for a decent college to attend.
As luck would have it, LAW was hiring a bunch of younger talent, so Mari decided to join its Young Lioness program, wanting to continue her training and throw herself into the big leagues.
Extra Facts:
- Despite her love of all things occult and spooky, Mari's rather easy to scare and catch off guard.
- Mari has a slight sadistic streak when she gets going, both in her teasing and acts in the ring

___________________________________________________________Author's Notes - Mary is... well, another canon character, this time from Ring Dream. I've... little clue of the actual details of either the series or Mary's actual character aside from the basics given to me. I'm... going in dark for this one and taking a bunch of liberties with this one, so apologies if I have her acting out of character. As for my plans for her, she's gonna' be an excitable rookie with a bit of a cocky streak. Someone that'll throw herself into matches, but likely get in over her head. Not a jobber per se, but a wrestler still growing into their gimmick and abilities.
