Reine is cold and aloof, generally preferring to be left alone when she isn’t wrestling. She is very much an alpha with an element of sadism, and is possessed of a sharp, acidic tongue. Her demeanor is a defense mechanism put in place to protect the vulnerable soul lying underneath.
Although she finds pleasure in the suffering of others, she also takes pride in keeping them healthy, relatively speaking. Her goal is to assert her dominance, not end careers.

Spoiler
Like her friend Alix (who she met as a child), Reine Roquefeuil comes from money. But while Alix grew up in a loving family and had many friends, Reine would come up in a colder environment due to her birth being the source of scandal, the result of an affair between her French father and his Greek mistress. Being treated either harshly or as a non-entity by relatives outside of her immediate family, and outcasted for years in her expensive private schools, Reine would take up an interest in art, preferring the world of fantasy and its characters to that of hers and its people.
Her interest in professional wrestling would begin with a boy she’d taken a liking to during her time in high school, who had aspirations of becoming one. Her interest in him would die immediately after an unaware Alix had an encounter with him, but professional wrestling would keep her attention. She loved the idea of a world that allowed her to be anyone she wanted to be, especially when combined with the prospect of forcing her will upon others. Painfully.
Reine would attend wrestling school alongside college, and after graduating the latter with honors, would devote herself entirely to professional wrestling, eventually going on to become known for her technical and striking prowess and submission skills.
After coming to feel that she was on the verge of breaking through to her peak, Reine would seek out a contract with the LAW, eager to prove to her doubters as well as herself that she was ready for the big time.

Strategy:
Spoiler
Reine utilizes a technical brand of Strong Style wrestling that makes strong usage of kicks, palms strikes, and submission holds. Combined with this is Teukgong Moosool (which itself is a hybrid of Tae Kwon Do, Hapkido, Judo, and Chinese martial arts), some of which she learned while training with her childhood friend, Alix Jacques.
Reine likes to start her matches with her stand-up game, utilizing kicks and palm strikes to set up her grapples. She's known for playing mind games to further that goal, taunting opponents and throwing the occasional slap to get them riled up and ready to make mistakes for her to take advantage of. She toys around with Faces especially, taking more time to break them down both physically and mentally, showing off for the disapproving crowd and basking in their jeers. Although she takes care to keep this to a minimum, saving it for when an opponent is decently incapacitated, the particularly hardy and/or opportunistic could find a moment to turn things around on her.
Reine is well-versed in throws and suplexes and makes good use of them, but ultimately prefers to lock her opponents into submissions or kick them around, both literally and figuratively. And rather unusually for a Heel, she fights a mostly honorable battle. Aside from perhaps taking advantage of a five count when her opponent gets a rope break or applying an illegal choke, she doesn't use any dirty tricks to get her way.
