Wrestling Information
"These people paid to see a show, right? Wonder how they'd like seein' me beat the crap outta ya."
Style: Amateurish Delinquent (Street Fighting) - At this point, Tanner doesn't really understand the difference between pro wrestling and a street fight. Of course, that doesn't make her any less dangerous. Her fighting style is filled with brutal knees, elbows, and slams. She isn't afraid to fight dirty either, and if that means taking out the ref to allow her to outright cheat, so be it.
Strengths: Tanner's circus background has gifted her with a solid amount of strength and dexterity, as she dabbled in many acts over the years. However, her main act of wrestling with alligators gives her a particular strength in grappling with squirmy foes. Also, owing to her background, Tanner has a fair amount of grit and tenacity that allow her to ignore some of the pain of a fight if she really wants to beat her opponent.
Weaknesses: While Tanner doesn't totally lack technique, owing to having wrestled alligators as well as, for a few weeks, her fellow reality-show pro wrestlers in training, her knowledge of holds and moves is fairly subpar. Additionally, Tanner's temper can sometimes pose a problem for her in the ring, as she can be easy to goad into tactically unwise decisions.
In-Ring Traits:
- Gator Teeth: Yeah, that's right. Setsuna's teeth are canon in LAW. When she's in a tight spot, she has no problem biting people – or, more accurately, psyching them out by putting on just enough pressure so that they feel a bit of pain and think that she's gonna bite them. She's a punk and a delinquent, but she's unlikely to go so far as to actually fully sink her sharp teeth into someone else who doesn't deserve it.
- Knee smashes
- STOs
- Dropkicks
- Elbow drops
- Low blows
- Hair pulls
- Big boots
- Suplexes
- Ripcords
Death Roll
Tanner grabs her opponent's neck underarm and rolls over before dropping them to the canvas head-first.

Personality: Tanner is, in a word, a delinquent. She's not shy about voicing her feelings, especially when those feelings relate to not liking something or someone. She's sharp-tongued and quick-witted, both qualities she's more than happy to bring to bear on those who piss her off – which is a pretty big list. Finally, Tanner is a shameless flirt, especially when it comes to pretty girls.
Biography: Tanith Del Rio was born without much fanfare to two parents who were entirely unprepared to have a child, especially one that deviated from the average as much as Tanith. From birth, she was a perpetually rambunctious child, crawling and wailing and rolling more than most babies did. That alone made raising her unexpectedly difficult, but when her teeth came in, those difficulties further compounded.
Tanith's teeth came in as a full row of sharp canines, not unlike those of a shark. Suddenly, everything she bit became ridden with holes. With her parents completely unwilling to support such an unexpected quirk, Tanith was soon dropped off at a local orphanage. However, Gibsonton is well known for counting among its residents much of America's carnival and circus businesses. Adopting the nickname Tanner (because she "ain't some 500 year old knightess of legend"), she was lucky to quickly find a more welcoming community and eventually joined a circus.
As a traveling performer, Tanner quickly found her niche. In addition to the obvious acts that her teeth lent themselves to, she was also interested in learning how to wrestle alligators. These acts, plus her rather acerbic personality, earned her a reputation as the "Wild Child" of her circus.
Owing to a few viral videos, she was one of the first people cast for a Florida-based reality show that aimed to train its cast members in the art of professional wrestling while getting them into all sorts of interpersonal drama (Think The Ultimate Fighter meets Big Brother). Of course, her physical prowess, experience wrestling unwilling opponents (if non-human ones), and unique backstory were all attractive to the show's producers. However, she was mainly cast because they thought her personality would stir the pot. Always happy to make a quick buck while trying out something fun, Tanner was happy to accept the spot.
Unfortunately, she stirred the pot a little too much. After grating on her castmates and the show's crew one too many times, Tanner unceremoniously washed out of the program – without even the courtesy of a dramatic vote-off. However, her few weeks on the show caught the attention of LAW's scouts, who believed the structure and resources of its Young Lioness program could help Tanner realize her potential.
Fun Facts:
- It's Tanner. Not Tanith. If you call her Tanith, she'll beat your ass. Then bite your face off.
- Tanner is a skilled rapper. She can do the fast part of her entrance theme impeccably.
- Tanner can't eat cold things, as her teeth are too sensitive. That means no ice cream :( Maybe that's why she's such an asshole.
