Bengal charged out from backstage as the arena lights darkened and her entrance music swelled. She danced and spun, syncing up her movements with the pulsing beat, and with the pyrotechnics erupting around the entrance ramp. She was wearing her white tiger outfit, complete with a cat-eared headband and striped boots. The pale blue contact lenses she wore turned her eyes into two aquamarine gems, set somewhere deep within her skull. She tossed her head jauntily, her stark white hair feathering out like a cloud of steam around her head.

The Tiger's cocky posture wasn't just for show. She was legitimately excited for tonight's match. She'd already been informed that it would have a 2 out of 3 falls stipulation, and those rules were right up her alley. Longer matches gave her more of an opportunity to punish her opponents, slowly breaking them down piece by piece. She'd shown that much in her recent Iron Woman match against Hitomi Ayase. And I'll do the same thing to whichever loser I'm facing tonight, she thought to herself.

That said, she didn't know very much about who that "loser" even was. Her opponent was making her L.A.W. debut tonight. Bengal had tried to look up footage of her past matches, without much luck. She'd found records of several wins on the indie circuit, but no videos, no clues about her fighting style. The only other thing she discovered was that this woman was a former runner, and a prodigy at that - although her record mysteriously stopped, right after high school. Track star to wrestler? It seemed like an odd transition to Bengal. Then again, if anyone in L.A.W. knew her background, they might be just as surprised...

The ring announcer's voice echoed through the arena, snapping Bengal back to the present. "Ladies and gentlemen, the following contest is a two out of three falls match! Introducing first...standing at a height of five feet, seven inches, and weighing in at one hundred and forty pounds...from Kolkata, India...THE BLAZE TIGER! BENGAL!"

Bengal clambered up the turnbuckle, raising up her fingers like claws, before vaulting into the ring. She began stretching in her corner, waiting for her opponent to arrive.
