"...Entering the ring first, hailing from Paris, France...bringing yet another amazing performance to the grand stage of LAW guaranteed to disrupt the seasons themselves...standing at 5'9 and weighing in at 126 lbs...PUT YOUR HANDS TOGETHER FOR...THE WINTER FANTASY!!! RENEEEEEE-!!!! WINTERS!!!!"


In a dazzling display of glittery lights, dazzling fake snow, and chilly winds, the dark-skinned maiden from France would emerge with a gallant pose and a glorious smile, stunning the crowd with her grace and beauty. Renee's wintery charms would dazzle and delight, leaving the awe-struck masses enamored with the Frenchwoman's talent and poise. A few ballet twirls down the aisle and Renee would find herself in front of the ring, leaping up onto the apron and striking a cutesy pose as the winter-themed idol sent chills up the spines of her fans, looking at the camera with such joy and passion before gracefully slipping through the ropes and finishing the rest of her idol performance with a bang as she struck one last pose, sending off a huge explosion of glittering snowflakes to fall around the ring, truly making the arena feel like a winter wonderland for a moment before everything was cleaned up and cleared out. Once things had settled down, Renee rested in her corner, sitting patiently atop the turnbuckle as she gingerly kicked her legs about, humming to herself as her sweet smile continued to charm those who couldn't help but stare at her beautiful figure.

Ciara was backstage leaning against the ropes having arrived at the arena early and already changed into her ring gear. As she leaned against the wall Ciara was wrapping her hands with white cloth all the way down until it was about a quarter of her forearms on each hand. Sure she could have used gloves like she had in MMA but bare knuckles hurt more and could do even more damage especially if the punch was coming from a trained fighter like herself. Standing up straight Ciara walked towards the curtain figuring it was around time for her scheduled match and surely it was as her theme since her MMA days started up.

Ciara Ward!

"...And her opponent! Coming out of Chicago Illinois standing at 5'8 and weighing 148 pounds...The Chicago Cobra!!!!!!!!! Ciaraaaaaaaaaaaa Ward!!!!!!!!

Music

Walking through the curtain the crowd cheered excited to see the former MMA star make her debut in pro wrestling. Not much of a poser Ciara simply rested her right hand on her hip letting the fans get there pictures of the tattooed Chicago native before continuing her way down to the ring before hopping up on the ring apron and stepping up onto the ropes one foot stood on the second rope while the other stood on the top almost in a kneeling position. Ciara paused for a minute soaking in the crowd before stepping over the ropes and dropping down into the ring right into her corner staring across the ring at her opponent. A slightly taller though lighter woman. Size didn't really bother Ciara though because even a Honey Badger could send a Lion to the morgue!

After Ciara made her entrance, Renee would walk up to her with a smile, trotting over with a gleeful amount of pep in her step as she tried to keep a positive attitude about her. Recent trials and tribulations that stung her greatly still caused her a great deal of pain and turmoil but she wasn't going to let that stop her. One loss in the Queen of the Ring tournament wouldn't spell the end of her career...nor would it sully her attitude. She was still The Winter Fantasy, and she had a reputation to upkeep and a new face to meet~!!!

"A pleasure to meet you...Renee Winters, the Winter Fantasy, at your service...I hope to put on a DAZZLING performance with you tonight, but I must say...even though this is your debut, I make no promises not to outshine you~...I've got many fans in attendance so I can't let them down. Regardless of who loses and wins, I'll be giving you nothing but my absolute best. And in return~...I hope for you to return that same energy~!!" She cheered, holding her hand out to shake with Ciara as she gave a stern yet friendly welcome, not intending to underestimate the Chicago-born woman or go easy on her either. "We've got a 'show' to put on so let's both break a leg, as they say~...give me your all, and let our 'dance' dazzle these spectating eyes~..."

Ciara's blood simmered as her opponent began to approach her right after she got in the ring, she wasn't a people person, and the crowd already took most of her social patience and energy as is and she didn't exactly see much in her opponent for her to want to talk to her. But that cheerful naive energy in the woman's tone and voice just annoyed Ciara, a woman who came from MMA, a sport that was likely the most brutal in the world. Seeing her opponent reaching out her hand Ciara just stared at it for a moment before raising her boot and lightly and gently swatting it away. "Can you go back to your corner now?" Ciara asked once her opponent was done speaking wanting to just get this match moving.

"Hmph-...harsh..." Renee responded, a little hurt by Ciara's curt behavior. To think that such a dazzling performance and warmhearted introduction could be met with such a cold response. To think the Winter Fantasy would be given the cold shoulder in such a rude manner. The irony was as hilarious as it was hurtful, but no matter...this wouldn't deter Renee from sticking to her guns and giving the best performance she could possibly give. After a few moments of checking both wrestlers' gear and making sure they were ready to go, the bell rang and the match was on. Wasting no time whatsoever, Renee sprung forward with a cartwheel, immediately bolting out of the corner and across the ring with a series of flips, looking to try and catch Ciara off-guard with a Cartwheel into Handspring Kangaroo Kick!!!

Ciara was a cold person most of the time, far from the social butterfly Renee seemed to be. Ciara wasn't always anti social but in the ring she was focused on one thing, beating the snot out of her opponent! "Really?" Ciara asked as the referee began checking her gear. When the gear checks were done the bell quickly rang and Ciara took a step forward only to see her opponent cartwheeling towards her. Ciara's eyebrow raised in confusion and annoyance before she quickly sidestepped as her opponent's legs kicked towards her. Bringing her own foot forward Ciara aimed to kick the woman hard in the stomach on her way down from her missed kick before walking towards the center of the ring and getting in a southpaw stance ready to fight, not whatever gymnastics Renee had just done!

[Misfit_Alien]

Renee's move had failed spectacularly as the stoic Ciara weaved out of the way with grace and ease, dodging Renee's opening assault with little expended effort, only to treat Renee just as bluntly as she speared the Frenchwoman in her gut with a hard kick, knocking the wind out of the Winter Fantasy just before she fell to the canvas in a heap, coughing momentarily and gasping as she nursed her abdomen, rolling away for a second to catch her breath before picking herself back up, wobbling a little as she stood upright again.

Ciara shook her head and sighed watching Renee coughing and squirming in pain on the mat after just one kick. Ciara was starting to get a little impatient almost wanting to pounce on Ciara and reign punches down on her head but Renee soon started to rise back up to her feet with the help of the ropes. Ciara closed the distance while maintaining her stance throwing a right jab towards Renee's side before throwing a left hook to wards the woman's jaw before raising her foot aiming to kick the woman directly in the torso attempting to force her back into a corner with her strikes so she could punish the winter fantasy further!

[Misfit_Alien]

The Chicago Cobra's strikes were as ferocious as they were plentiful. Ciara had closed in on the dazzling Winter Fantasy, coiling around her like a snake and not letting her out of her range, turning things into a cold reality for the beloved Frenchwoman as she was pummeled and pulverized. Renee grunted and groaned as she was getting wailed on in the corner, unable to fight back and defend herself as the Frenchwoman was decimated by her American adversary, the crowd trying to rally behind the idol wrestler but to no avail. Renee's only way out was to desperately cling onto Ciara in a haphazardly applied clinch, ducking low and wrapping her arms around the woman, trying to lift her up for a surprise Exploder Suplex, but being unable to after taking that heavy blow to her body, leading her to cough and groan as she put herself in a worse spot.

The former mixed martial artist swung punch after punch, strike after strike, picking her opponent apart, each strike taking a bit of energy out of her opponent and replacing it with pain until the woman staggered forward and wrapped her arms around her. Ciara gritted her teeth ready to throw a punch into Renee's side before she felt the woman trying to lift her, but she didn't, she couldn't! Ciara wasn't going to stand still and let Renee try again though, instead, she wrapped her arms around Renee's torso and lifted the woman, turning her body and slamming her down with a belly to belly suplex! So far in the match it seemed the Chicago Cobra's dominance in the octagon was translating perfectly to the ring.
