Wrestling Information
Stats (out of five)
Endurance:  ●●●●● What Kara lacks in fineness and self-preservation she makes up for being too stubborn to stay down. She can withstand submissions better than most, but she isn’t much better at keeping conscious if she takes a big hit.
Strength: ●●●●○ Though not the strongest fighter around she is strong enough to pull off her moves. However she can’t overpower wrestlers easily.
Speed: ●●○○○ Though she isn’t the fastest wrestler in the world by any stretch, she is agile enough to pull off some more intricate moves. That said she neither likes nor is any good at running.
Defense: ●○○○○ While she knows some defensive techniques, and can technically protect herself, in practice she forgoes protecting herself as soon as her adrenaline starts pumping. She will try to get out of the way of big attacks but outside of that she’ll take a hit if it means closing getting close to her opponent.
Technique: ●●○○○ Kara knows enough about wrestling to pull off her moves without hurting herself and she knows some more technical moves. But she is not the most skilled or refined wrestler.

Style: Describing Kara as a sledge hammer is not entirely unfair. She is neither the fastest fighter nor the most refined, but she can endure a beating and is strong enough to dish it back out. She prefers big heavy hitting attacks that would normally tire out another wrestler but if she can’t she will fall back onto basic strikes or grappling attacks.

Strikes: ●●○○○ Not really the type to punch someone but capable if she needs to.
Submissions: ●●○○○ While her list of known submission moves is not vast, she knows how to use her strength to make the moves she does know hurt.
Powerhouse: ●●●●○  The main way that Kara gets damage done, she is able to overpower wrestlers of equal strength and in some cases even those with greater strength.
Aerials: ●●○○○  Aerials are an unused tool in her arsenal but one that she is more than willing to use if given the chance.
Counters: ●○○○○  A rarely used skill more by lack of interest than lack of skill.

Strengths: No matter how hard she gets hit Kara has a nack for getting back up and hitting back just as hard. While she isn't the strongest wrestler around she is stubborn enough to outlast most of her opponents and her body is able to keep up with her demands.

Weakness: As strong and as sturdy Kara is she relies on her natural abilities like a crutch. She doesn't avoid attacks because she feels she can power through them. She doesn't bother to improve her ability to counter opponents or improve her technique because she thinks she can overpower most anybody. Needless to say these are all weakness that can be exploited if she meets someone she can't just bowl over. In addition she has a soft spot for weaker wrestlers and if someone convinces her that they’re at a massive disadvantage Kara will hold back.

Preferred Matches: Standard matches

Signature Moves
-Serpent's Coils: A move she only developed recently. If her opponent is prone Kara will tuck their head under her armpit, she then wraps her legs around her opponent's waist and uses her free arm to bend her opponent's arm behind their back.

-Dragon Break: While not technically a move it would be dangerous to forget this trick. While Kara is fairly cool during matches she tends to pent up her anger and grudges deep inside. While it's rare for her to let these feelings out when they come out in the middle of a fight it can be terrifying. She completely forgoes any semblance of defense and just tries to hurt her opponent, ignoring whatever harm comes her way. This isn’t something she can willingly call upon nor is it something that appears in every fight she has. It only comes to the surface if she is on the receiving end of a truly vicious beating or has otherwise been pushed over the edge.

Finishing Moves
-Death Roll: If Kara’s opponent is standing and facing her she tackles her opponent by wrapping her arms around her opponent’s midsection. She then stands up, still holding her opponent, and throws herself backwards and spins in midair trying to slam her opponent’s back. She repeats the move as many times as she can, slamming her opponent into submission, though the move leaves Kara worn out afterwards.


Bio

Appearence:

Visual Appearance: Kara is fairly tall with broad shoulders and muscular arms and legs. She takes particular pride in her well toned abs and strong arms. Her standard ring gear is a one piece dark blue wrestling suit with a silvery serpent-like dragon design running from her right hip to her shoulder.

Personality: Though not quiet shy Kara isn’t very talkative, and when she is she tends to be sarcastic. She has a mentality that she should only talk when she has something to say, and her best friend, Vita talks enough for the two of them. But that doesn’t stop her from having a sarcastic quip on hand, especially to get a rise out of someone. When she’s with friends she is calms and laid back, and spends most of her free time talking about her favorite stories. Despite her sarcastic and quiet attitude she has a bit of a white knight complex and can’t stand bullies or a one-sided beating (it somewhat ruins the whole ‘dragon lady’ persona).  Though she tries to keep up a cool face in the ring she has a fierce temper and if hurt enough she leaves behind all pretenses and gets far more aggressive.

Past:

Fun Facts

-Loves to watch storms ever since she was a kid.
-She likes to collect jewelry and shiny knickknacks, and though she isn’t a compulsive thief shinny baubles have a habit of disappearing around her.
-She still swims to keep in shape, and sometimes just swims to clear her head.
-Can speak Spanish relatively well but is embarrassed by her accent

-As much as she hates to admit it Kara has a hard time letting go of things, she tends to stew on and remember even small problems long after she should be over them.
-She is still on good terms with her family back home, though her relationship with her younger brother is strained as she was often over protective.

Relationships
Vita (best friend): A mixture of best friend and friendly rival, they’ve known each other since they were little. Despite their friendship the two could not be more different, Kara is calm and collect while Vita is always jumping off the walls. She appreciates Vita for keeping her life interesting, if more dramatic than she'd like.

Rian (long time friend and manger): Her other best friend and manager, Rian and Kara make a close team and the two spend so much time with each other they often know what the other’s going to say.

Madison (once friend): Kara once thought of Madison as one of her closest friends. While Madison was always weird Kara got to see the kindly part of her that so few got to see. When Madison turned on them at first Kara hated her but looking back she has come to regret leaving her former friend behind chasing glory. Now she wants to make amends with her old friend but deep down Madison frightens her.

Kyo (friendly rival): As one of the first people she went up against she sees Kyo as one of the better examples of the wrestlers in the AFW. She sees some of herself in the way he respects his opponents and his sense of honor. Of course it helps that he's easy on the eyes not that she'd say that.

Daisuke (rival): While she respects his skills in the ring that's about the nicest thing she has to say about the prince.
