Character Name: Casey Holliday
Nickname: N/A
Hometown: Bellevue, Washington
Height: 5'5
Weight: 125
Alignment: Tweener
In-Ring Style: Technical with a mix of aerial. Also has a tendency to cheat given the opportunity
Bio: (Just a brief overview of how she got to this point, more to be revealed in roleplays)
Casey's father and grandfather were both wrestlers, so she wanted to become one herself. Her father runs a wrestling school in Seattle and initially he was reluctant to let her become part of the business herself, but he eventually relented and she started training at the age of 16. Casey was quite stubborn, wanting to go right to the mainstream without paying dues in the Independent scene first. Four years later, her father was a victim of an unfortunate assault that necessitated hip replacement surgery and the resulting medical bills put his school in financial jeopardy. Casey would get her first taste of the mainstream business when she took part in Supreme Championship Wrestling's End of the Year Open Battle Royal on New Year's Eve 2015, with a $250,000 prize at stake. Trying to win the money for her father, Casey finished 5th in a field of 30 wrestlers despite her inexperience. While she didn't win the money, her performance was enough to get her a full-time contract with SCW.
SCW was a tumultuous, up and down rollercoaster for Casey. While she managed to secure two short-lived title runs and pay off her dad's medical bills eventually, she quickly realized that the business wasn't as easy as she thought it would be and ultimately, the pressures of being a rookie at her tender age got to her and with time, the sweet, humble girl that was known for fighting for her father allowed the business to consume her and she began to burn her bridges, from her fellow peers in the locker room, to her long time friends, and even her own father, who she is currently not on speaking terms with after her behavior got her kicked out of home. This action only made things worse as the pressures of the spotlight caused her to stress out and often have mood swings and temper tantrums, which ultimately led her to leave the company with a Trios tournament win and two short title reigns under her belt.
Things would turn around somewhat quick for her though, being signed to a talent agency known as Silverstone International. This provided an immediate boost for her, both financially, via brand and endorsement deals, and psychologically, with her self-esteem returning in the form of narcissistic arrogance. Still just 21, Casey has plenty of time to make her mark in this business and fulfill her potential.
Gimmick: Casey is a multitude of things, from a 'good girl gone bad' to someone who recently turned on her father, but primarily, she considers herself the next "It Girl" of professional wrestling, backed by corporate sponsorships and endorsements due to a lucrative agreement with a branding agency. She looks to show that she is the ultimate embodiment of what a next generation wrestling star should be like inside the ring, in the corporate universe, and in the mainstream media!
Theme song: "Fashion" - Lady Gaga
Pic Base: Leighton Meester
Entrance: The chorus of "Fashion" by Lady Gaga hits the PA system and Casey Holliday steps through the curtains, instantly drawing a mixed reaction from the crowd. She starts to walk down the ramp, obviously confident in her self-proclaimed, prodigious abilities. She has a smirk on her face as she gets to the ring, obviously enjoying whatever reaction she's getting from the fans. When she enters the ring, she finally acknowledges the "haters" with a 'hush' signal, which only serves to incite them to boo her louder. Casey has a laugh to herself at this, as she starts to focus on her match and the song fades.
