Character Personality Information
A sweet woman with an equally sweet smile, outside of the ring, Holly is a gentle, friendly and easy going person when with friends or people she cares about and is always willing to help them in any way she can. She loves sitting down and listening to them as well as spreading an infectious joy whenever she is around, dancing and partying any chance she gets. Despite that, she has an air of professionalism and calm about her, especially in more formal settings, wishing to use it in order to advance not just her own career and aspirations, but those around her as well.
In segments/interviews, she has a calm poise. mixing traits from both her in ring and outside of ring personalities together to capture the crowd's attention while also using them to advance her career, showcasing her smooth talking and overall sweet charm.
Inside of the ring, she is focused on getting the win by any means that is required. She has no problems using her sweet smile or looks in order to divert the referee's attention if that is needed [mainly while at ring side] or bending the rules if it will get her closer to the goal of winning.
Character Relationships
Family
Michael Black- Father
Holly has a very close and loving relationship with her father, with him being one of her main inspirations to become a wrestler. The two would occasionally argue, mostly over Holly's tendencies to focus more on partying and her friends than her schoolwork, but they would resolve them quickly and it wouldn't get in the way of their bond. Michael would also encourage Holly to follow her dreams and never give up when she struggled at wrestling camp, supporting her and reminding her that this is going to all be worth it, even if it feels overwhelming. She is appreciative of how willing he was to allow her to enter the sport and holds him close to her heart.
Eliza Black- Mother.
Just like with her father, Holly has a very close relationship with her mother, often sharing her doubts and confidence issues with her. She has often said that her mom is her biggest supporter and the person she wishes to make the proudest of her in wrestling, due to her readily accepting that she wished to take this route in her life, despite the risks entailed within the sport. She would often attend events Holly partook in, making sure that she had someone there for her as well as indicating just how close the two truly are. They would have their arguments, but neither would stay mad at the other for long before things returned to normal, and they would hug.
Friends
Monica Ingram-
These two are inseparable, having been friends since childhood. when they first met at Riley Knight's yearly wrestling summer camp, and elected to attend the same middle and high schools so that they could see each other every day. Their bond is like family, and Holly has a deep respect for Monica's skills as both an artist and a wrestler, just as Monica does with Holly. They both share an interest in fashion and modeling, often attending shows together as a "package deal" with local companies being both in, even when Holly was the one they wanted to feature. Some time when they were younger, they made a pact to remain together forever, whether it be physically or spiritually, something Holly wishes to keep.
Riley Knight-
Holly has a close but professional relationship with Riley, the result of him being the one who introduced her to the rigors of wrestling and training her to enter the sport herself. He would be harsh on her, often pushing her to the verge of tears but deep down, he respected her for how she would always bounce back and want more. In his eyes, she was somebody he knew he had to nurture and lead on the right path, while she saw him more as a mentor and somebody who could get her to where she wanted to go in life. Even after she "graduated" from the camps, the two would remain in contact, often holding one on one sessions where Riley would teach her the finer nuances of wrestling, in the hopes that she would be able to make it further than he did in the sport.
Biography
When she was a young girl, Holly would watch wrestling on TV with her mom and dad, being drawn in with the lure of the sport and everything involved with it, even if watching them get hurt would frighten her to the point of tears at times. She would imagine herself being inside of the ring, standing as the crowd showered her with adulation and praise, light shining and cameras flashing. It was then that she knew she wanted to become a wrestler herself and be just like those she had seen on the screen.
About three years later, she would see a flier for wrestling classes being held by local coach and "Professor of wrestling" Riley Knight while walking home from school and would show her parents, who happily signed her up for it. However, she would learn quickly that she was still too young and small to gain a real foothold in the sport, often finding herself tiring and in pain following even basic training against others of her age, though she enjoyed it and wanted more.
The following year, she would attend the camp again, this time more experienced and ready for what the camp would bring, learning more about herself and her identity in the process as well as affirming that she wanted to become a wrestler when she was old enough to do so. It would be at this camp where she would meet Monica, the two of them becoming fast friends after Holly helped Monica following her suffering a knee injury during one of the drills, staying with her until the instructor and medics arrived. The two would be inseparable from that point forward, hanging out with one another both at the camp for its remainder and also outside of the camp, even attending the same middle and high schools so they could spend more time together. During the summer, they would alternate staying at one another's home, talking about fashion, wrestling and other things pertaining to their lives.
At some point before beginning her journey, Holly would make a pact with Monica that they would be together forever, no matter where their lives may take them, especially after Holly began to get noticed by both wrestling schools/promotions and modeling agencies, both vying for her to join them. The two would attend a fashion show together, where they would buy matching silver necklaces in order to remind themselves of their bond and to keep a reminder of themselves close if they ever drifted apart.
As soon as she turned 18, Holly decided that she wanted to begin her journey as a wrestler, knowing that she is going to have to do whatever it takes in order to reach the top.
Entrance Information
Theme: "Killin' it" by Krewella
Description:
Solo:
The lighting around the arena begins to flash, as pink and black strobe lights flicker, white being mixed in between each strobe as the musical opening to Killin' it begins to play throughout the arena. The screen then fades in to reveal a woman's face, before transitioning into a black screen with small white and pink triangles and diamonds positioned around the center before a name slowly slots in the middle of the pattern in pink text and cursive font, reading "Holly Black".
You're gonna push your luck
Tell me you've had enough
I'm taking off these gloves
Get down and lick the dust
As soon as the opening lyrics hit, Holly walks out onto the stage, smiling as she extends her arms outward, allowing the fans to get a good look at her before she drops them back by her side and begins to saunter down to the ring, making sure to sway her hips with each step that she takes, cameras both at ring side and in the stands flashing alongside the strobe lights. She extends her arms outward once more halfway up the ramp, continuing to walk in rhythm before flicking her wrist and spreading her fingers out before stopping her walk and tilting her head upward and to the right.
Ring Announcer: "Introducing, From Tonopah, Nevada, Hoollly Blllaaack!"
Dropping her arms once more, she returns her focus to the ring as she resumes her walk before stopping at the end of the ramp, this time smiling before she turns to the left and walks up the steps. Standing atop the apron, she enters the ring between the top and middle ropes, taking off her jacket and t-shirt, handing them to an attendant at ringside with a sweet smile before facing the fans once more, this time letting them get a good look at her body as she juts her right hip out, hands atop them, holding the pose for about 20 seconds before walking to her corner. In her corner, she hooks her arms around the top rope either side of the turnbuckle, leaning against it as her music fades.
With Monica:
The lighting around the arena begins to flash, as pink and black strobe lights flicker, white being mixed in between each strobe as the musical opening to Killin' it begins to play throughout the arena. The screen then fades in to reveal a woman's face, before transitioning into a black screen with small white and pink triangles and diamonds positioned around the center before a name slowly slots in the middle of the pattern in pink text and cursive font, reading "Holly Black".
You're gonna push your luck
Tell me you've had enough
I'm taking off these gloves
Get down and lick the dust
As soon as the lyrics are heard, Holly makes her way onto the stage, Monica alongside her. Both have smiles on their faces as Holly extends her arms outward, Monica walks in front of her, turning before pulling a cell phone out of her pocket and snapping a picture, much like the fans in attendance. Turning to face the ramp, she steps to the right as Holly drops her arms and begins to walk down the ramp, taking her place behind her friend as Holly begins her saunter down the ramp. Their hips swaying in unison as the fans continue to flash pictures of them both, predominantly of Holly. Holly extends her arms out about half way up the ramp as Monica makes her way directly behind Holly, slowly removing her jacket as she flicks her wrists and tilts her head, draping it over her right shoulder. Holly remains in the pose as Monica takes off her t-shirt, draping it over her left shoulder.
Ring Announcer: "Introducing, From Tonopah, Nevada, accompanied by Monica Ingram, She is Hoollly Blllaaack!
Holly drops her arms once more, returning her focus to the ring as she resumes her walk, Monica following two steps behind. The duo stop at the end of the ramp, Monica turning right as Holly turns left and makes her way over to the steps. Walking up them, she turns her head to look across at Monica who has walked up the opposite steps, meeting her in the middle of the ring. Monica holds the top and middle rope for Holly to enter the ring before lifting and extending her right leg while Holly juts her right hip out, placing her hands atop her hips, both women allowing the fans to get a good look at them once more. They hold the pose for 20 seconds before Monica jumps off the apron and Holly walks to her corner. In her corner, she hooks her arms around the top rope either side of the turnbuckle, leaning against it as her music fades.
