Custom Ring Entrance - “Shatter Me” by Lindsey Stirling plays and the crowd jeers the hateful anti pro wrestling activist turned pro wrestler against her will as she emerges atop the ramp flanked by her manager Norris and her bodyguard Smith. Sonya makes a speedy trek down to the ring because she does not want to freaking be here. During their transit to the ring she makes sure to have Norris rip up some of the fans’ signs that she finds offensive. Once they get inside the ring she moves to her corner where she paces nervously while getting an encouraging pep talk from her entourage.

Why is your character a wrestler - Sonya is the daughter of renowned billionaire businessman Randall Benson. Sonya's hatred for professional wrestling started early in life but truly imprinted five years ago when her younger brother, Benjamin, only 16 years old died after attempting a high risk finishing move at a indie show that he was not legally supposed to be at due to his age. Even before that terrible day, she'd tried to steer him away from combat sports in general, knowing it was gaining popularity among young kids and teens. Sonya could see the unhealthy obsession with professional wrestling Benjamin already had, and in the end she was right about it. She was close to him. His death was unrecoverable.
With her heart blackened by pain from the loss, she set out on a crusade against the sport of professional wrestling. It took her precious young brother away from her, so she would take it away too. Over the past several years she has used her wealth, influence, and political stroke to buy, bully, blackmail, and purchase wrestling promotions into closing their doors. She is credited with closing down a plethora of wrestling promotions across the United States, putting thousands of wrestlers out of a job.
This recently backfired. A league of powerful and wealthy wrestling promoters and businessmen associated with or sponsoring pro wrestling pressured Sonya's father with lawsuits, injunctions on his goods and services, and even threats of physical violence. They not only wanted her to cease and desist her activism; they wanted her PUNISHED. Her father agreed and felt the best punishment would be to make her become the very thing she hated. A professional wrestler. For a short time at least. He set a goal for her. 25 wins. One win for every year she's been alive. Once she attained 25 wins, the punishment would end.
If she refused? She would be cut out of his will, severed from his financial income which he allots so much to her, and will be denied ownership of three islands of her choice which he promised to give her upon her 30th birthday. The only silver lining to this is that he let her retain the services of her bodyguard, Smith. Sonya also lucked out in securing the services of a disgruntled wrestling manager named Norris.
Sonya immediately set out to purchase wrestling lessons but found out that a lot would not allow her to train due to her activism against the love of their lives, their passion, their craft, professional wrestling. The VERY few times she did find a school, she blew it by quitting within a few days or accusing the trainers of molesting her under guise of training her.
Her cruel father, tired of her stalling, pushed the fast forward button and made her sign with XWF. Her first act there was desecrating the sacred XWF Hall of Legends, where she toppled statues, burned priceless historical artifacts, and stole a few relics. She got lucky and hired Thaddeus Duke and Marf as trainers afterwards but that was short lived.
After beating Bianca McBride in her debut match via Norris clobbering Bianca with her father's own Top 50 XWF plaque, Sonya concocted a brilliant plan. She paid Marf to do a horrific "attack" on her after her 2nd match there. He did. They staged it good. They made it look real. In the end the folks in XWF really thought Sonya had her neck broken and skull fractured, as well as being paralyzed. It secured her release from XWF, but her father snuffed out her trickery a week later. Her dad knew about the war starting between OCW and XWF so he made her sign with OCW, knowing she'd have to eventually answer for her trickery to XWF in a match.
Wrestling Style/Resemblence - Cowardly. Sneaky. Cunning. Diva. Breaks every rule she can. She will beg. She will put the referee in front of her as a meat shield so that the ref gets hit with whatever move is coming. She will use her manager and even fans as meatshields to take incoming damage from her opponent. She will fake injuries to allow her manager and bodyguard to soften up foes. She will stall and run and force rope breaks even when an opponent is simply near her. Think of her as a mix of Eva Marie, Ric Flair (in his heyday of dirtiest player gimmick), and Edge (in his ultimate opportunist era gimmick). She will even bribe her foes at start of match with a wad of cash if they merely lie down and let her win this one. She will also use Eddie Guerrero type "lie, cheat, steal" tactics like making the referee think her opponent has done something illegal to her which causes the referee to award the match to Sonya via DQ and etc..
Trademark Maneuver(s) -
1. Frantic diva slaps
2. Novice kicks
3. Foot stomp
4. Basic combat moves taught to her by her bodyguard, like pressure points, palm strikes, etc
5. Various underhanded moves (back rake, eye poke, low blow, illegal choke, biting, hair pulling,)
6. Hilariously botched drop kick
7. Hand stomp
8. Bell Clap
Set up to Finisher - Windmill Punches. She gets really frustrated easily and will just charge headlong at her opponent with her head down just windmilling punches at her opponent. It's such a rare thing to see that it will sometimes catch an opponent off guard. Most of the time, though, an opponent just moves out of the way and easily drops her on her ass.
Finisher - Small Package. It’s just a small package pin. Temporary finisher until I story progress her into a better one.
Alignment - A monster heel who faces and heels alike hate.
OCW Color - Violet (it won't let me select the actual code though)
Pic Base (Who does your wrestler look like) - Amber Heard (2008-2013 version)
