Entrance Music: *"Destroyer" by Halsey* – a powerful, dark, and moody song that builds suspense as she makes her way to the ring, with dim lights and smoke swirling around her.
Alignment: Face – Elena is admired by fans for her skill, honesty, and refusal to cheat, always fighting with integrity.
Nationality: Russian-American – Born in Moscow, moved to the U.S. as a teenager, bringing a fierce Eastern European work ethic to her performances.
Fighting Style: Aerial mixed with technical – Elena uses high-flying maneuvers to keep her opponents off balance, combined with technical submissions. She avoids power moves and instead relies on agility and precision.
Preferred Match Types: Standard or Submission matches
By default, Elena is a high-flyer, using her agility and speed to dominate in the ring with spectacular aerial maneuvers. However, she can transition into a more technical style when necessary, especially in submission matches. Her ability to adapt makes her a formidable opponent, particularly when facing technical wrestlers who target specific body parts. She thrives in battles where her opponents focus on working a body part, as she enjoys the mental and physical challenge of countering their strategies.
Preferred Opponents: Elena enjoys facing technical heels who specialize in limb work, particularly those who focus on leg attacks and holds. She appreciates opponents who break down their rivals with a calculated approach, using submissions and targeted offense to weaken specific areas. Bonus points go to heels who focus on leg work, as she enjoys the challenge of countering and fighting back against such methodical strategies.
Moveset:
Elena is a technical wrestler first and foremost. She would scout her opponents and pick a body part to work over most of the match, until the opponent eventually submits. The body part she picks depends on her opponent strengths, background and injury history. In general, she usually targets the legs of larger opponents or high flyers. When matched against someone her own size, she goes after the midsection or the arms (OOC information: all of the above can be negotiated with the writer). Depending on her opponent, her moveset works as follows:
Leg Moves
Single Leg Boston Crab
Indian Deathlock
Any Figure-Four variation
Leg Scissoring
Several Leg Lock variations (I have reference pics in case)
Arm/Shoulder Moves
Arm Wringer
Hammerlock
Any Armbar variation
Wrist lock
Kimura Lock
Midsection Moves
Abdominal stretches (both seated and standing)
Body scissors
Shoulder thrusts in the corner
Bearhug (not elevated, depending on the opponent size)
Finishing Moves:
1. Red Widow – A devastating spinning backfist followed by a running knee to the head of a kneeling opponent.
2. Volkov Vise – A modified sleeper with a body scissor.
Preferred Moves to take: Submission holds in general, bonus points for leg holds, arm holds or abdominal torture holds.
Personality: Calculating and methodical in the ring, but admired for her honesty and integrity. She plays by the rules, earning respect from both fans and opponents. Outside the ring, she's private and composed, with a passion for wrestling that drives her.
Backstory:
Elena Volkov, a Russian-American wrestler who had built her reputation in the underground wrestling scene of Eastern Europe, was always different. She always viewed wrestling not just as a sport, but as a game of human chess. Her intense training background in martial arts, coupled with her technical prowess in the ring, made her a feared competitor wherever she wrestled. Despite her cold and calculating demeanor, fans admired her skill and respected her hard-fought victories.
After making a name for herself in various promotions across Europe and the United States, Elena found herself unsatisfied. The predictable cycle of alliances, betrayals, and titles in mainstream promotions began to bore her. Wrestling had always been about pushing boundaries for Elena, and she craved an environment where she could truly unleash her creativity and complexity. That’s when she first heard whispers of a place that would challenge her in ways no other promotion had – the League of Anime Wrestling (LAW).
But beyond the theatrics, Elena knew LAW had some of the best technical wrestlers in the world, with methodical heels who could stretch her to her limits, pushing her mentally and physically in a way she hadn’t experienced in years. More than anything, Elena saw LAW as an opportunity to evolve her own character. She envisioned creating rivalries that would transcend titles and delve deep into psychology, strategy, and character progression.
