Wrestling Information

Strategy: Movement. Never stop moving. Go from one attack to the next, buffet the opponent with moves that hit hard despite the size difference, maximize every opportunity, target the legs, break them down. Because she’s so small and light, her goal is to do as much damage as possible while taking as little as possible in return. While she doesn’t outright cheat, she bends the rules as much as she can, and tends to attack the opponent from behind a lot. A big part of her strategy banks on her opponents taking it easy on her from the outset since she’s so small.
Style: Hit and Run
Type: Standing Grappler

Physical Statistics
Endurance:★★ - Halloween is quite poor at taking hits, and can usually only suffer a few good shots before she’s in real trouble.
Strength:★★ - While she is strong for her size, that’s saying little.
Speed:★★★★★ - Her only true outstanding stat. She’s quite quick, very good at moving around the ring.
Defense:★★★★ - Is quite adept at weaving around attacks.
Technique:★★★★ - Has a good array of moves to work with and is good at pulling out what she needs to fit the situation.

Wrestling Statistics
Strikes: ★★★ - Has good blows, but her lack of range makes it hard to win in this area against other strikers.
Submissions: ★★★ - Uses simple but effective holds to wear out limbs.
Powerhouse: ★★ - Will use certain powermoves against opponents near her size, but rarely otherwise.
Aerial: ★★★ - Not as big a flyer as people tend to think, but she employs them when opportunities arise.
Counters: ★★★★★ - Her best area. She’s good at turning opponents moves against themselves and reversing momentum.

Signatures

Jump Scare:

While she’s on the apron and her opponent is on the inside, she ducks down, grabs the middle ropes, and slingshots her way into the ring with a shoulder tackle aimed at their chest, typically waiting until they turn around. She often yells ‘BOO!’ as she flies forward.

Pumpkin Bomb:

A Cannonball - with her opponent down and sitting in the corner, Halloween runs towards them and does a somersault into their prone body, hitting them with her back at full speed.

Finishers

Lights Out:

A rear-naked choke. Halloween jumps on the opponents back, wraps her arms around their neck and her legs around their waist, and starts to power down on them with all the strength she can muster.

Skullbreaker:

A sitout jawbreaker. She reaches up, grabs an opponent’s head, and drops to her butt with her legs spread out, smashing their face into the top of her skull. Because of her height, this is actually easy for her to hit at just about any time, though she typically goes for it on opponents who are picking her up off the floor.

Critical Finisher

Deadlights:

With an opponent rising in the middle of the ring, Halloween gets a running start from the corner and kicks them in the head. Simple, effective, dangerous.

Personality:
There’s one word that anyone who describes Halloween invariably uses - ‘stubborn’ . She would prefer the term ‘headstrong’, but either way, it suits her to a T. It seems that the more people think it’s impossible for her to do something, the more inclined she is to do that, and the surest way to get her to do anything is to tell her that she can’t do it. She is fairly sensitive about her height, and her main goal in life is to prove that she can succeed in spite of it, or even turn it into an advantage.

Outside of that, she can be an abrasive person in general, difficult to get along with, so used to being on the defensive that she tends to assume that with stance with anyone she meets from the getgo. Those who take the time to know her can find a loyal - if overly aggressive - friend who’s bursting with energy, and won’t hesitate to defend people she thinks are being bullied, having been bullied herself so often in life.

History:
It seemed like Halloween - Inez - was destined to lead an uneventful life. Born poor in Mexico City, she was an only child and the daughter of a single mom. Short and skinny, she was routinely bullied in her school, and as an unruly child, she didn’t excel much in studies or show much aptitude. While she had a lot of energy and fire, she had trouble focusing it in any real direction, lacking goals in life.

That changed around the time her mother caught sick with pneumonia and found herself in the hospital. It was around this time that she told Inez who her father was, claiming it was a Japanese wrestler who’d come to visit Mexico on a tour - a man they called Christmas Sonohara. He’d conceived her with and left before she knew he was pregnant, and while she tried to contact the man later, he’d never acknowledged that he was Inez’s father.

Inez’s mother died shortly after that revelation, and while Inez discounted her mother’s story at the time, thinking she was just delirious, she did check out the man. It all checked out, it all synced up, and the more she dug into it, the more she found herself liking what he did. She’d never cared too much for wrestling before, but something about seeing him do it in Japan spoke to her. She liked the outfits, the flare, the moves, the story, and saw it as a way she could be whoever she wanted to be.

After a few weeks, she was addicted to the sport, so much so that she wanted to become one herself. She joined a wrestling school when she was old enough, and while it took a lot of convincing for them to train a girl so small, they eventually gave in and taught her. After a good year of wrestling, she gained some notoriety - she didn’t win often, but she was spunky and feisty and crowds loved to cheer her. Her manager was able to get work out that she was interested in Japan, and she gained the notice of the AFW, who was looking to bolster their kawaii division.

Inez wasn’t crazy about the idea of being pigeonholed in the kawaii division, but she decided to go along with it for the time being. Changing her name to Yuki Sonohara, she traveled to Japan, eager to make her name there and see if she could get her father’s recognition.
