A Star is born

Foreword
( If you consider yourself my friend, definetly read this, if not, you still can take a peak ;) )
Spoiler
You never know when you need to put your creativity to safe yourself.

This was the case with me as my almlost five year relationship ended on a rainy November 1. Leaving me back shattered and confused.

I was doing LAW for almost a year and was rather sporadic with it, sometimes going on hiatus, doing something again, etc. I met some of you and became good friends but it always was more or less a thing I did'nt spent too much time thinking about. As author I was just like "Yeah one shot matches between skimply clad girls, thats cool, love it.", before I discovered how much care, passion and love was put into the posts and storylines behind those imaginary Wrestlers at the great league of LAW.

I must say I was stunned. So much people doing such great and interconnecting storylines with their characters really blew my mind!

So I threw my hat in with my austrian heel "Countess Theresia von Karnstein" whom I expected to by my ultimate girl.

But the for some reason a certain blonde ex-model appeared on the horizon. Weak, ditzy, maybe a Jobber Bimbo for mud matches, an afterthought so to speak and I got along with her. First I met Simply Woo with whoms Cheelani, Harmonia debuted, then came a certain eager Aussie Girl named Sheila Chihara, played by some special guy with whom I formed a sort of creative partnership I couldnt imagine back then. I mean it was a oneshot match! And suddenly Harmonia and Sheila trained and became friends, the ball started rolling for me to realize that it was'nt all about the matches but about the relationships of characters, building friendships, feuds and romances. As an old RPGer it totally could get into that and since then LAW became a sort of creative outlet. Then I met Aeri and the character of arrogant heel Amirah Prince that became the first feud for Harmonia and culminated in her first PPV where she beat her foe in a cage match. This was the first great victory for Harmonia and I owe a lot of it to Aeri who is always so eager and considerate to do stuff with me ❤️ Very much appreciated!

Well the year 2021 was'nt good to anyone, it was my introduction to the world of Internet Womens Wrestling, grand as it is. And I treated LAW as simple little hobby and the people behind it like "Internet People", not real friends but other pervs that share my intrests.

But by getting to know each one of you better, seeing your opinions, your shared interest in stuff I am into too like games, anime and movies made me reconsider this.

Jump to a rainy fucking Day of the Dead, November 1 here in Austria were after long and toxic months a almost 5 year relationship with my gf broke and the life I was accustomed to slipped away under my fingers.

The first weeks were sheer terror and utter horror as we still lived together, putting a strain on my mind and body. Lockdown, my friends all 1+ hour away, I dug myself into the only thing left, LAW.

Then two things happened:

Winner who saw me contemplaiting about not finding a flat asked me if everything was fine with me. And soon a few others started too. I looked to not run around and tell everyone my sad life story but I mentioned it.
I met Golem Guardian and what shall I say, with how quick the character Chris and this person behind her took my heart was truly a miracle as Golem appeared at the right time in my life, listenting to me, caring for me and being the best friend someone could imagine. There is a lot of awesome collaborations to be expected from us, here at LAW so all I can say is, I love you Golem, god bless you and thanks for being there for me when the times were dark, which they were.


At one point in this last weeks where everything seemed to went down the drain with my life I decided to do something to battle my inner demons and I started to develop a new gimmick for Harmonia.

The model was out, the Superstar was in.

I spent night and days here at LAW talking to my playplartners, showing them my ideas and dug myself deep into the world of LAW, using my love for hardrock to give Harmonia rocking theme, creating a symbol, creating a gimmick, creating a costume,creating moves and a whole new Harmonia Edelstein.

The idea for the "Superstar" Gimmick came to me through Leder who said: "She looks like a star", thank you so much for this Leder.

She is a star, indeed and a Star that helped me coping with certain things.

There were days and evenings I could'nt get up from my Laptop and forgot the world around me, only able to go to work, function and then drag my butt back to my "Personal Purgatory" as I called it.

Talking to you, creating a whole new Harmonia finally getting her to interact more with other LAW Members was something I was quite proud of. Harmonia finally started to make an impact, when people talk to me they immediatly have Harmonia in their heads, my designs got praise and my ideas were welcomed warmly. I just think that I and Harmonia have finally arrived here, as she and her roster got recognized, which meant that I my work was accepted and with it the fighting against this darkness that was overwhelming me ended.

The Superstar Harmonia Edelstein is more then a simple character, she helped me getting better, as did her sister Finella, as did Veronika, and the many interesting matches, relationships and feuds really are a testimony that I am appreciated here. Thank you very much, all of you!

All went dark in the arena, only the cheers and whistles of some fans were heard but they died down soon to...as...
Suddenly the Titanron sprang into motion as a cavalcade of stars exploded onto it in a shining spectacle!
Red and white stars where exploding on the big screen as the hard riffs of Harmonia Edelsteins Theme "Desire" by Ozzy Osbourne were really starting to kick in as for fireworks started to explode from left to right...white..red...white...red...

But it was not the Prince of Darkness who sang her song this time, no, it was the Superstars Partner and Lover, Molly Forster, dressed in a stunning new attire.
The Superstar looked up her girlfriend that sang her entrance song with such energy and was supported by a new talent that Harmonia had met at her Christmas Party.
Chris Yukine played the guitar with an energy that was unparalleled

As soon as the lights rose, Molly looked out at the crowd, then back at Chris to one side of her – and then, she looked over her shoulder, knowing the true star of the evening was just behind her. The three of them had been over this promo time and time again over the last few days, and all of them wanted to make sure it was perfect. This was Harmonia’s big night, and Molly knew she didn’t want anything less than the best for it. To that end, she was committed to doing her part to make sure the new Harmonia made a splash.

Taking in a deep breath, Molly held a microphone to her mouth. It was time to let them hear it.



It was time. After all their practicing it was time for Harmonia to display to the world her new gimmick. At times Chris may have gotten a bit too intense towards Molly, always being one to strive for perfection in all her performances. But it seemed the British Bunny held no ill will towards her, equally striving for a perfect performance for her girlfriend’s sake.

Honestly, the rock star felt like a third wheel here. When Harmonia had talked with her in her DMs about this, Chris had been a bit hesitant. Not because of the gig, she had done a few back vocals and guitar performances for a few fellow indie bands. But rather because of the fact the Austrian had said she wanted her girlfriend to sing. Chris was all for the idea of a live performance for such a drastic gimmick change, and she had no proper argument to turn down Harmonia's enthusiasm. She was an outlier among the love birds, an extra that anyone could easily have filled the role of.

Well, it didn’t matter. She got paid, and it wasn’t about her anyways. This was Harmonia’s moment. And as the signal for her to start came, she was gonna give her client 110% and make sure she lived up to Harmonia’s new self. And most importantly, rock the arena to get them ready for the new and improved Austrian.
I've always knew what I wanted to be
I knew for sure, I knew for sure

Harmonia Edelstein entered the stage, no, not Harmonia Edelstein anymore, Superstar Harmonia had arrived at the arena.
The blue eyes behind the red sunglasses observed the room as Harmonia Edelstein pushed her gloved fist into the air, starting the fireworks anew!

Always knew it was them or me
I wanted more, more and more

The boots of the newborn wrestler started to walk down the ramp, self assured, steady and without hesitation.
Cameralights flashed right and left as the Superstar walked them by.
Her new outfit a symbiose of the colours red and white,the colours of the flag of her homecountry.
But no patriotic reasons had brought her to this decision...

It's all right, it's ok
None of them people gonna take it away

People left and right exploded as the Superstar walked them by,
They reached for her, made photos of her, called her, cheered her...
Harmonias confident smile grew wider and wider as she approached the ringside...

Cause they don't know, like I know
And I can't stop 'cause it drives them crazy

What a time she had since she had come to LAW, she made friends, enemies, won matches, lost matches but there was always more in her...more to prove, more to show, a sleeping giant waiting to be awakend.

It drives them crazy, 'cause I won't be cool
It's too late baby


How they had looked down at her at first.
She could do what she wanted, win what she wanted,
she was always "The Ex-Supermodel Harmonia Edelstein"
Rich, glamorous but nothing to give a second thought about...
She climbed the apron, grabbed the top rope and jumped into the ring.
As she landed for fireworks, the same colours, white and red started to shoot out of the ringposts the moment she landed and the refrain started to play:

It's the same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain, oh yeah

Harmonia stood in the middle of the ring and rose from a crouching position to a standing one, raised her arm again and gave a loud shout of pure and utter ecstasy as the lights were on her...

Always moving, somewhere else to be
Moving on, moving on


She had chosen that song not only because she was big fan of Ozzy Osbournes music but because the lyrics of the song embraced what the blonde woman felt since she arrived at LAW.
Her life happened in Japan, happened at LAW, happened in the squared circle, happened in cages, outside the ring, backstage, everywhere were LAW was, Harmonia had arrived and what LAW could offer, Harmonia would take with gusto!

Scream at you and you scream at me
Right or wrong, right or wrong


Frustrating was the word, frustration when she was put up against some of the bigger names of the company only to be dismissed as "Ditzy Model" again, sleepless nights, days without leaving her room and crying into her pillows followed as Harmonia did'nt knew
how to prove them wrong...
Until it hit her..
It's all right, it's ok
No one's ever gonna take us away

She was who she was, no one could take her strength, her stubborness, her determination away from her. They could tell her how weak, dumb, unwanted she was and Harmonia never listened...she always wanted to give the people a good show...
'Cause they don't know, like I know
I gotta keep rockin', 'cause it makes me crazy


It came to her one day...which person stood out of the crowd, which person gave his best anytime he was on stage, which person would never bow down to others...
A true SUPERSTAR

It makes me crazy, who needs to be cool
Life's amazing


Harmonia had found her sister again, Harmonia had found true love with Molly, Harmonia raised the stakes in her matches, she was'nt the same woman again...and she would never would be again...

It's the same old desire
Crazy train, crazy train
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain


Clad in a hat, sunglasses, a top featuring Austrias flag prominently, shorts, boots, and gloves,
Harmonia Edelstein had conquered the ring tonight, and she was here to stay...
The era of The Superstar had begun...
Same old desire
Nothing has changed, nothing's the same
Burning like fire
Don't you ever take my name in vain, oh yeah


The song faded and the crowd errupt into a earpopping mess of cheers, chants, whistles, screams and clapping.
LAW belonged to the superstar on this faithful day at the start of a new year!
The whole arena, all people, all of her colleagues belonged to her for this night and she would make the best out of the total attention the people in the stadium, at their televisions, their pcs, their phones and everywhere else gave the Superstar now.

"HELLOOOO LAAAAAAAW!", she shouted as she grabbed a mic.
"ARE YOU READYYY?!"
The question could only be meant rhetorical as the crowd acted out like there was no tomorrow.
Harmonia grinned. New gimmicks and strong entrances always worked with her beloved crowd.
"I asked are you ready....for...a...Superstaaaaar?"
She turned to the cameras and grinned, if you looked closer you could see who the body of the model had changed too, her delicious curves were left untouched but her abs and muscles were more defined as Harmonia hit the gym like hell in the last months only to prepare for her great entrance.
"That is right LAW, make sure to listen to me cause I only say this one time..."
She turned her gaze, hidden behind the red shades directly at the camera and pointed her finger at it.
"You all are better be ready for me LAW, each one of you, the ones I had fought, the ones I will fight, my friends, my rivals, my enemies! Mark my words, as this will be the last words of Harmonia Edelstein..." ,she said and stagehands brought in a trashcan and something golden...Harmonias dress she introduced at the Summer PPV-

The woman grabbed the thing and looked back into the cameras.
"The Model Harmonia Edelstein...is no more...", she said and threw the dress into the trashcan.
She got a pack of matches from the stagehands and lit the one.
"From now on...from this minute, here at the start of 2022, she was reborn, as "The Superstar" Harmonia Edelstein!”, she shouted and threw it into the trashcan were the prepared dress (of course the Swarovski stones were put out beforehand) immediatly started to lit.
"Remember this LAW...as it is said in my song...I...AM...BURNING...LIKE...FIRE!", she screamed into the mic and the crowd immediatly started to go crazy again.
This was truly her evening.
"And you my trusty fans from around the world and espcially my fanclub...you will no longer be the "Schatzis!"..."
The Members of her fanclub looked at her in confusion from their seats, unknowing what would come.
"From this day on...you will be known as THE SUUUPERSTAAAARS!"

"But there is more, don't you believe that I have finished yet. There are some goals I have set my sights on and believe me, everyone of you who holds one the titles...I will come for you! Sooner or later you will face up against a true "Superstar" and then we will see how things will go!
As a big man of our business once said..."Sky is the limit!", she said, quoting Macho Man Randy Savage and getting a big reaction from the crowd.
"Don't feel to safe anymore...because wherever you are, I will be in your rear view mirror and I assure you that Objects in this rear view mirror CAN be so close as they appear! I am done with being handeled as a simple pushover midcarder, these times are fucking over! I know who I am, I know how popular I am and I know how many people look up to me! And I will not dissapoint anyone of them!
Sheila, Gil, I thank you for everything you have done for me in this year, you will always have the Superstar on your side...and..."
She took deep breath and looked to Molly who stood outside the ring, clearly moved by Harmonias honest words.
“Also, thank you for the rocking riffs! Chris “ The Rocking” Yukine! Beautiful, talented and on her way to make a name for herself in the Lightweight Division!”, she said and gave a thumbs up to her musical support.

Chris gave her all, living up to the rock legend that sang Harmonia’s new theme. No mistakes, not a moment to falter. Her and Molly gave their all as Harmonia made her way to the ring. The two followed behind, Chris staying farther back to keep the main attention on the love birds. This was Harmonia Edelstein'z, the newly dubbed Superstar’s, moment. She was merely support here, and a good rock star knows where the spotlight should be.

As the song reached ist conclusion, Chris stayed back at the bottom of the ramp, allowing the crowd to go wild for the blond. She stood by as she didn’t understand the real significance behind the burning of the dress, as it had been before her joining LAW, but she could at least see the statement. She was the ex-model no longer, and she wanted everyone, the crowd, the upper management, and even the other wrestlers that were likely in the back watching, to know how serious she was. The Superstar was showing her metamorphosis into her new self, and if the crazy crowd was to be believed then there were many good things to come.

At the mention of her name, Chris would say nothing, letting her guitar speak for her as she let out a short solo, mostly to not get to flustered on the “beautiful“ comment. And as soon as it was done, the rockstar bowed to Harmonia, giving her a silent thanks, before shooting up two sets of devil’s horns. Hey, she may have been support, but when the spotlight shifts for the support they’re allowed to do a little show boating for themselves.

As she turned around, Harmonia became a little calmer.
"A true superstar would be nothing without someone who would hold his back. Please LAW, all of you out there, you know her, you love her, on member of the "British Bunnies", a capable performer and determined fighter and...", she said while walking to the ropes, sitting on the middlerope and stretching her hand out to Molly.
She took of her sunglasses, revealing her beautiful blue eyes as she looked directly into Mollys , took her hand and helped her into the ring.

The music died down, and Molly finished her song, greeted by a burst of cheers. She hopped into the air, waving her hand over her head to welcome the applause of the crowd. When she came back down, she teetered a little on her high heels, and immediately regretted what she’d just done. Her new outfit, combining her team’s trademark bunny motif with a showgirl look to compliment Harmonia’s new Superstar moniker, was certainly more suited for managing than it was for doing anything physically active in. But she was too worked up with excitement to let that stop her for long, and soon she looked back up, flipping her hair back over her shoulder as she faced the crowd with a grin and a wave of her hand.

She knew this wasn’t about her, of course. This was about Harmonia – and no sooner had she finished that she was ready to give her girlfriend the floor, looking back up at the ring. As she spoke, Molly couldn’t help but be moved by the passion and the conviction with which Harmonia spoke. No matter how many times she’d heard her go over the promo, or bounce ideas off of her, Molly could never have imagined it landing with the impact that it did. But this was everything she’d anticipated it being, and so much more.

She wasn’t used to Harmonia being quite this brash and eager. When she brought out her dress in the trash can, Molly’s eyes widened; she gasped a moment later as she watched Harmonia set it alight. The Harmonia Edelstein she knew would never do this. But Molly thought back to what she’d told her on their date, about how she had lived a simple and modest upbringing growing up, playing rough and working on her family farm. The image of the rich, glamorous, high-society model she’d cultivated was just that – cultivated. Now, though, Molly was seeing Harmonia let her true self shine, the way she’d always wanted to. It made her smile grow wider, and a tear trickled down her cheek. To her, this meant so much more than anyone in the stands could possibly imagine – but that only made the bond they shared that much more special.

But then Molly heard something else that made her pause. Even when she knew it was coming, she still took in a gasp, holding her hand to her mouth. She didn’t expect it to hit her quite this much. But here it was. Harmonia was calling her out by name, and calling her down to the ring to join her. Molly stood up straighter, nodding her head. She knew what she had to do!

Sauntering down the ramp, Molly greeted the fans to either side of her with waves, high-fives, and an occasional hug for a lucky few. But soon, she came to the side of the ring, and from there, she took Harmonia’s hand, allowing the model to hoist her in after her. As she took Harmonia’s side, the Englishwoman looked back at her with a grin and a nod, squeezing her hand a little tighter. Now, it was time to let the world know.


"My Girlfriend...MOLLY FORSTEEER!", she said and lifted Mollys hand in the air before turning to her smiling.
"And how was I?", she said a little shaking before she kissed her in the middle of the ring, now instantly destroying all the questions and rumors with hard facts as the crowd cheered on the new couple.
Both women embraced in the ring, Harmonia holding on tight to Molly as if she was lifesaving anchor in a cold and black sea...
Harmonia held her hand as she continued.
"LAW, let this evening be remembered for a long, as a new Star has risen on the horizon and you all know how powerful a star can be!", she smiled as her theme started to play again and Harmonia grinned.
"I AM..." One firework exploded out of the turnbuckle.
"BURNING...", the second one.
"LIKE...", the third one...
"FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIREEEEE!", she ended as the fourth turnbuckle shot up red lights.
Harmonia turned to Molly and kissed her hand before walking to the ropes and exiting this ring that belonged to "The Superstar", for this whole evening...
Hand in Hand the two women walked out while Harmonias theme pumped the crowd up, they gave high fives, shook hands and looked at each other as they walked up to exit the arena...leaving LAW, her fellow wrestlers and the World with this truly strong impact.
