Past + Personality
What does it mean...to desire something? Well, to have desires is to be human, of course. Everybody wants something. Everyone has their share of desires. However, not everyone can get what they want. Some people aren't capable of achieving their dreams. They lack the discipline...the grit...the STRENGTH. It is one thing to desire something...but it is another to ACHIEVE what you want. To do so, one has to be strong in the face of adversity...wise enough to avoid the pitfalls toward success and focused enough to keep their eyes on the prize. Many fail to overcome the struggles and cruel indifference of the world. Those without the qualities of success within them are crushed beneath the pressure of expectations and left in the dust without a second thought...Everyone-...except for Chie Akiyama...
Growing up in a very orderly family in a tightly-knit community, Chie was raised to embody several rigorous values to perfection. Virtues of strength, dedication, wisdom, and humility were embedded within the child from a young age. Her family comes from a long line of Shinto shrine owners, so they lead very regulated and balanced lives, devoting themselves to their craft and spirituality. Their home and shrine resided near the lush forests of Hokkaido. Nature graced their home front, with many species of wildlife passively occupying the area. Chie's family saw these animals as the incarnations of spirits, blessing the shrine with their presence and becoming part of the ambiance. One of the most common sights was the many foxes in the forest area. Chie had a fondness for them...Out of all yōkai in Japanese folklore, the young woman admired the kitsune the most. She felt a strange connection to it, appreciating what it represented. Chie could often be seen passing out food scraps to the foxes 'tribute' to the 'spirits'...taking on the culture of her family's spiritual heritage.
Due to her environment, Chie grew up as a well-rounded and focused girl, desiring success to honor her family while making a name for herself. She took on many traditional Japanese past times and excelled at them. Her favorite types of extracurricular activities were the more physical ones. As a very active child, she took up karate and gymnastics, showing prowess in both areas. In school, she received top marks and outperformed her male peers. During martial arts meet-ups and gymnastic competitions, she took home several medals for her remarkable abilities. Chie had earned many achievements throughout high school. She wanted more...she wanted to continue to be successful. The young woman was developing a sense of ego, but it was healthier than you might think. She desired success, as anyone else would, and wanted to make her family proud. However, when it came time to decide on a path for her life following her final exams at school, the silvery-white-haired woman took no interest in sitting behind a desk to climb the corporate ladder for the rest of her life. Chie still retained that youthful energy of hers. She wanted to express herself physically while pushing her limits to achieve greater heights.
And so...she discovered the world of mixed martial arts.
With a background in karate, MMA seemed like a logical next step for Chie. Karate was...a little too formal for her tastes, and women's MMA had become a normalized and stable career to go down. It took some convincing to get her parents to agree, but Chie successfully earned their permission to register for classes. After getting the fundamentals down, Chie began her amateur career, starting with a knockout win in the first round of her first couple of fights. Within a year, she turned pro and started to build a solid profile for herself in the MMA community. There were some losses but far more wins. Over the course of nearly seven years, Chie racked up several championship wins and career highlights...until one day, during a match, when blocking a kick to her leg, Chie suffered an ACL tear in her left leg that completely disrupted her career and life as she knew it. She was immediately forced to retire from the octagon, with no chance of recovery in sight. Bitterness and resentment slowly boiled within her...how could this happen to her? Why would the world do this to her? As she struggled around her family's home and at physical therapy, she became sickened by her current state. She didn't want THIS to be where her life ended. She had so much that she wanted to do...She had so many desires and dreams that were never fulfilled. Her body was practically at its peak...she didn't want her prime to be wasted like this. That bitterness turned into motivation as she slowly pushed herself to get better, forcing her body to endure whatever was necessary to recover. She would defy the world and the doctor's examination by making a near-full recovery.
However, she still wouldn't be cleared to fight in the octagon again...It was simply too dangerous. Disappointed, Chie begrudgingly moved back to her family's home once again to take part in maintaining the shrine. Many days passed before an opportunity graced the silvery-white-haired woman's eyes. Professional wrestling. Chie had never seen anything like it...One day when she was watching television, she saw a segment where a woman who had injured her spine managed to recover and succeed in the ring regardless of her limitations...It felt empowering. It felt like a sign from the heavens themselves!!! Chie would NOT allow the years of her prime to be wasted. She had the drive and the talent to do ANYTHING she set her mind to. No injury would contain the woman. She immediately set out to train, undergoing a rigorous training regimen with one of the best professional wrestling camps she could find in Japan, working with a talented and experienced coach who was well-versed in assisting semi-injured athletes. Within a few months, the former MMA fighter became a prodigy wrestler. Despite the rust on her skills, Chie retained her knowledge and technique and built the basis for her wrestling style around her experience in the octagon. Within a year, the woman was back in fighting form. Now known as Lady Kitsune as a tribute to her experiences with the foxes at her family's shrine, Chie tore through the independent scene, working her way back up to her prime. As with anything, they were struggles and losses...times of triumph and times of defeat, but that wouldn't keep her down. She would always get back up, ready to try again and defy the world one more time. Eventually, she received an invitation to fight under the LAW promotion. After finishing up her current indie contract, Chie signed with the big-name brand, ready for another shot at the big leagues...
Personality: On the surface, Chie seems somewhat aloof, coming off like a playful, harmless fox. Behind that innocent and friendly guise lies a woman with a razor-sharp tongue and a penchant for violence. Chie often delivers backhanded compliments to most she comes across. Only a few who get on her good side can discover what the woman is like when she's not playing people like fiddles. Chie is very career-oriented and sees the world in black and white, going through life with the most practical approach and not allowing emotions to cloud her judgment. Due to her upbringing, she lives a very regimented and well-organized life. She keeps herself balanced as much as possible. Following her ACL injury, she developed an irritable and much colder personality due to the bitterness she felt toward the world...the cruel indifference of fate had led her burgeoning career to come crashing down around her. Needless to say, this was a less-than-pleasant moment in her life. Now that she's found a second chance in professional wrestling, she takes great care to avoid injury. However, that bitterness has not left her system. Chie has a disdain for those who are reckless, short-sighted, arrogant, and naive...Her career was snuffed out in an instant...So to see someone else act lackadaisically in the ring infuriates her to no end.
Trivia
- Her silvery white hair is all-natural! It's a genetic trait in her family, not a set of dyes or a genetic disorder. As a child, she was self-conscious about it, but she eventually learned to admire her unique qualities, turning her perceived 'flaws' into something to love about herself.
- If she hadn't recovered and gone into professional wrestling, Chie would've instead taken a role in her family's Shinto shrine as a ''Miko'', which is a shrine maiden, performing sacred dances, taking part in rituals, and maintaining the shrine's state of cleanliness.
- Though she has mostly recovered from her injury, Chie still feels a little pain in the area where the ACL tear occurred. If she overworks her left leg during a match, takes a blow to that specific area, or attacks with a knee strike or a kick, there's a chance she'll feel a bit of recoil and pain.
- Chie sexually identifies as a lesbian but rarely speaks about her interests in romantic partners. She prioritizes her career goals and self-interests over silly things like romance. Especially in a competitive field like professional wrestling, one has to be focused in a match. Otherwise, a competitor may use their emotions against them. Despite the cold nature of the woman, she yearns for a relationship but remains calm, collected, and...unfortunately...distant from others in that manner.
- The fur on her prosthetic fox tails and ear headband is fake. Chie has a fondness for nature and foxes especially. She refuses to wear fur clothing due to how cruel the process is at fur farms.
- During her days as an MMA fighter, Chie racked up a sizable win streak, going undefeated in her last year for five wins before the ACL tear forced her to retire. She regrets never having the chance to see it through to the end. The news of LAW hosting a few MMA matches has caught her attention, and she often thinks about training to try and partake in one...for old-time's sake.
- One of Chie's hobbies is testing different makeup brands. While Chie often takes most things seriously and looks at the world through a more practical lens, makeup products are one of the few things where someone can see her personality lighten up. The makeup, eyeliner, and lipstick Chie wear are from a specialty brand called 'Power Love' which is owned by someone named Yuzuko “Yuzu" Tsukumo (@SweetHeart) She's fond of its effectivity, as the makeup never goes runny or smears, even when matches run for long periods.
- In the distant past, Chie's family, before becoming the owners of a Shinto shrine, had a few members work as shinobi and kunoichi, male and female ninjas that served during wartime in feudal Japan, most prominently during the Sengoku era. Chie's family heavily respects their heritage, and Chie pours some of her family's history into her gear, as parts of her outfit are inspired by the clothing style of ninjas during that time.
