Characteristics

Visual Appearance

Typically dresses in very masculine clothes, to the point where anything but a careful glance will lead you to believe sheâ€s a man. Itâ€s even hard to tell it by her voice or the way she walks.

Physical Appearance

Spoiler:

Winding down after work..

Spoiler:

Throwing out a fierce kick.

Spoiler:

One of the few times sheâ€s been seen wearing a dress. Not too happy with it.

Personality: Like the music she so enjoys, King is consistently relaxed. It's extremely rare to hear her yell or show real anger, and even when she's truly mad, she tends to simmer, not burn. She likes to be in control of herself and her surroundings, and has a penchant for order and style.

She likes things neat, she likes things clean, she likes things cool. As a fighter, a businesswoman and a bartender, this mentality has served her well. As a person, it can occasionally cause her to come off as a perfectionist, which turns off people. She's trying to learn to be a little more flexible.

History: Hereâ€s a curious question - how does a French crossdressing streetfighter wind up in Japan, wrestling in an all-female wrestling federation?

The story starts in Lyon, France, at an all-girlâ€school on the edge of town, with a little tomboy named Jeanne. Her father was bartender and owner of a fairly famous jazz bar, Illusion. Her family wasnâ€t super-rich, but they had enough money to send her to a fine school, hoping she would get the best education.

Jeanne hated it. She absolutely hated it.

Firstly, there was the dress code. For whatever reason, Jeanne never felt quite right wearing a skirt and other girlâ€s clothing. It was hard to put into words exactly why she felt so weird in them. Like she wasnâ€t made for them, like she wasnâ€t meant to wear them. Whatever the reason, she was uncomfortable at the school, and that showed itself with an awkward nature. She was quiet, sullen, distanced from the other girls, which made her a prime target for bullying.

The bullying went on for a year, until her father took her to see a movie by a certain Belgian kickboxer, Timecop. The movie was a rather poor Terminator knockoff, in her opinion, but the fighting fascinated her. She couldnâ€t get her father to pay for lessons, but she managed to acquire a few books and started to learn kickboxing in secret, taking various elements from all sorts of styles - Muy Thai, Savate, Tae Kwon Do - and blending her own style out of it. It all came together when she got in a fight with a particularly persistent bully during lunch one day, taking the girl down with a knee bomb to the face, in what she still considers the greatest fight of her life.

It got her suspended for two weeks. Her father was not quite as pleased.

From that day on, she started crafting her own identity at the school, cutting her hair and opening up a bit, building her confidence. The few friends she had often joked about her being a boy that snuck into the school, and she got a nickname: King of St. Amitus boarding school. As time went on, the nickname stuck and shortened, and her old name faded out, until her parents were the only ones who still called her Jeanne.

She went through school, kept training and improving her style and acquiring a talent for business, wanting to take over Illusions, but just as she was about to get into it, the place fell on hard times as the jazz took a bit of a dip in France. More modern clubs were starting to win out, and the comforts they provided werenâ€t in high demand anymore. This would have been bad enough on its own, but her little brother, Jan, got into a car accident around this time. He came out alive, but was paralyzed from the waste down - the surgery and care needed for him was extremely expensive.

The family needed extra money. It was time to expand.

As her fighting styles grew, she had occasionally tested herself in street fights with great success and earned some money on the side, and after taking down a famous Muy Thai champion, she pocketed enough to start up her own bar. Seeing the AFW as a good chance to build publicity for both her own branch and her fatherâ€s, she moved out to Japan and decided to try her luck in Friction, all while running a bar near the arena - an interesting experiment.

Wrestling Attire:

Spoiler:

Ever the stylish striker, King patterns her clothing after the same style her father wore in his hey-day. Itâ€s usually not apparent that sheâ€s a woman until she removes her jacket.

Fun Facts:

+ Is a very skilled billiard player, one of many skills she picked up from her father. She actually has a standing challenge, that any who defeats her in a game can come in and get free drinks for life. None of her patrons have ever pulled it off.

+ Absolutely hates being called a ‘dykeâ€. Itâ€s one of the few things that can immediately tick her off, The word sticks in her craw, for some reason.

+ As one can imagine, she has some gender identity issues. For a time, she actually identified as a man, but sheâ€s since become a little more centered with her femininity, and she feels that going by male or female exclusively doesnâ€t quite fit - ‘both†is her favorite word for it. These days, she tends to just go with whatever people call her - she wonâ€t ‘correct†them unless it becomes relevant. As far as sexuality is concerned, she prefers men, but has an eye for women, too.

+ She became a staunch vegetarian after doing a school project on how meat is processed. Doesn't begrudge others eating it, but the project pretty much ruined her taste for it.

+ Sally and Elizabeth are two friends from her boarding school that she brought along to Japan as waitresses. Sheâ€s hired others since arriving, but theyâ€re the only two she trusts enough to mind the bar when she's away.
