Trudy "Ash" Paxton - Former Metal Bassist

Name: Trudy "Ash" Paxton
Age: 25
Height: 5'4"
Weight: 123 lbs
Hair: Black
Eyes: Brown

Wrestling style: While she's more comfortable in a bar room-style fight, Ash has taken to learning wrestling quite well. She's still new at it, but likes the grappling, high-flying style for the showmanship, and her time as a roadie means she is quite handy at lifts, slams, and throws. However, when she loses her cool, she's likely to go straight back to the angry fisticuffs.

Alignment: Tweener. Big chip on her shoulder, but she avoids fighting dirty... or at least more dirty than the circumstances allow.

Preferred matches: Anything and everything.

Entrance Music: Motörhead - In The Black http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-aqgWLaL4kg

Finishing Move: Never Say Die - Setting her opponent on the third rope, Ash climbs up and hooks their arms under her own and leaps off, splashing with her opponent beneath her, belly to belly, on the mat. Dangerous, but totally worth it.

Personality: Ash is a born metalhead. She parties hard and fights harder. She's usually downright abrasive to start with but anyone who can tolerate her attitude, or respond in kind, will tend to find a relatively good drinking buddy in her. Beneath her rough outer shell, she tends to be a downright cheery and upbeat person. Her friends remember her as a bit more upbeat, but her attitude has soured since leaving the band.

Of course, taste in music is a considerable land mine with her.

History: Trudy Paxton must have been born lucky or got lucky very early on. When she skipped school to become a metal groupie, she was actually able to live the dream: Before long, she signed on as a roadie with a newly formed metal band "Three Guys Named Olaf" (A title in which not a single word accurately described the band but nobody could suggest a more appropriate name. Trudy might have, but life as a roadie kept her too busy and she was still in many ways a young, breathless fangirl and couldn't bring herself to suggest a change.). Trudy found herself taking a liking to both this lifestyle and the band's female lead guitarist, "Roze". A few road trips later, TGNO still hadn't had their big break. Tensions arose and the band split... It was here that Trudy found herself once more gifted with outstanding good fortune. Roze's hunt for a bassist was fruitless, until she happened upon Trudy one time playing bass idly... Trudy had attempted to teach herself and had gotten good enough to impress Roze. Between Trudy, adopting the slightly more approprate alias "Ash", and Roze, Three Guys Named Olaf's hard and heavy stylings hit the road again....

For the first few months, at least. Despite some modest success, Ash soon left Three Guys Named Olaf on less than amicable terms, and in fact quit the music business entirely. No member of the band really spoke about why Ash hung up her bass guitar so suddenly; even Ash herself only offered the most vague statements about creative differences, but rumor has it that Ash never talks about Roze, despite the latter being the one who "discovered" her.

Naturally, for someone used to being up on the stage, and loving a good fight, the AFW was not a particularly difficult step to make.

Fun facts:

-Ash may be a metal fangirl through and through, but there have been rumors circulating of a bassist named Trudy who always wore a lot of makeup, a hoodie, and sunglasses, who played with a Jim Croce impersonator.

-Ash originally thought adding an 'e' on the end of her surname, making it "Ashe," would show that she "meant business," but was talked out of it by Roze, despite Ash's protestations that the 'z' in her name was much more dorky than metal. Either way though, she is easily embarrassed by her true name, Trudy, a secret to anyone who at least doesn't know how to use the internet.

-A habit from her days as a roadie, Ash always carries a walkie talkie outside the ring, even though she doesn't really have anyone to talk to with it.

-Ash's childhood love of the jungle gym carried over to roadie work, where she swung through scaffolding like a maniac. Climbing is one of her hobbies, as a result, but she doesn't quite have the money saved up to really go rock climbing or any similar indulgences.
