Wrestling Info: Brenna is not an experienced wrestler, but her intelligence, focus and size made her a rising talent in the lower divisions. She is a good-natured face who can draw upon a lot of steely resolve if things get tough. Relatively tall, she has a good reach and strength for grappling-style wrestling, plus long, muscular legs to wield in her submission holds, making her a slow but methodical opponent. A fair fighter, she will try and dispatch her opponents with a minimum of fuss, but wonâ€t shy away from fearsomely brutal power moves, either. She lacks the killer instinct of a ruthless heel, and vicious tactics will normally unsettle her, but she is a dogged fighter who loves wrestling and will always try to keep the crowd onside.

Favoured moves / matches: Brenna is not a behemoth but she has the size and strength to perform a lot of throws and slams, especially against the more petite AFW fighters. She has good technical knowledge and her submission holds are as textbook as her power moves. A tough but fair fighter, she can just about cope with hardcore but frenzied cat fighting will unsettle her.
Brenna is no prude and will try her best in hentai bouts, though she is not a natural in these, and doesnâ€t like being humiliated, she has good endurance, being stubborn and strong-willed enough to hold her own.

‘Glasgae Kiss†- the normally sweet girl will escape from troubling situations with a swift, sudden headbutt.

'Witch's Brew' - even more out of character, but if really angry or desparate, Brenna has been known to pull a poison mist attack, spitting stinging green gunk into the enemy's face.

Finishing move:
The Monolith: Named for the various standing stones that dot Brennaâ€s homeland. She will start to perform a vertical suplex on her opponent, applying a front facelock then lifting them upside-down above her head, then stalls the move in this position for as long as possible. Brenna encourages the crowd to quieten down to a hushed silence during this time, with the victim hanging in the air all the while. When it is finally quiet, Brenna breaks the silence by driving them straight down into the mat, letting everyone hear the opponentâ€s cry of pain. The prolonged pause at the apex of the move causes a lot of blood to gather in the inverted victimâ€s skull, making it all the more painful when they are driven into the canvas.



Appearance: Brenna is from the islands of Scotland, where the Viking influence runs deep, and her appearance shows this: a all, leggy, athletic girl with sandy blonde hair and clear blue eyes. Her pale pink complexion does not tan easily, and her cute face often flushes red. She likes to wrestle in a blue two-piece outfit with matching nail varnish, and white boots.

Personality:
Open, honest and friendly, Brenna is undoubtedly a nice, genuine character. She can occasionally be a little introverted, and will speak her mind if something annoys her, which means she doesnâ€t make friends with everyone. Vain or materialistic people in particular will earn her scorn. She is steadfastly loyal to her allies, but wonâ€t forgive her enemies very easily, either.
Brenna is pretty intelligent, though out of the ring gets lost in thought quite easily which makes her seem ditzy or distant. She is open-minded and hates ignorance in people - especially when they confuse her being an ‘Islander†with ‘Highlander‘, or worse - confuse Scotland with England (*Brenna clenches fists*). Brenna is a philosophical soul, coming from a culture with a pagan background; and does have a faintly witchy, spiritual side to her.

Past: Brenna came to wrestling quite late in her life, not encountering it when she was younger at all. She had a fairly tomboyish upbringing on her remote island, and would never back down from a scrap. She did boxing and judo but these were hobbies to her, nothing more. In her teens she became interested in religion and philosophy, and decided to travel to Japan in her gap year to explore its Buddhist temples.

Once in Japan, she saw the popularity of female wrestling, and decided to try her hand at it when she needed some cash. The big blonde found she could throw around the petite Asian girls of the lower leagues with some success, thoroughly enjoying herself and becoming a fan favourite in the process. Enjoying the challenge of physical combat, she joined AFW, hoping to extend her stay in Japan further.
