PERSONALITY INFO
Gimmick: The Mistress of the DDT, Queen of the Crossroads - much in fitting with her nicknames, she is going to drop you on your head like it or not - but she also likes to make rather shrewd deals which may or may not be to your benefit later on...
Strengths:
Gifted & Talented: Aurora is very gifted - a once in a generation type of wrestler. Her speed is virtually unmatched, as is her confidence in her abilities. Her prior records support her skills, though she doesn't tend to lean on her past accolades as such.
Shot Caller: Because of this, if Aurora tells you she's going to DDT you, well. Expect it.
Not A One Trick Pony: Even though she's famous for those same DDT's, Aurora has moves in reserve that she only trots out on special occasions.

Weaknesses:
Oh Look Now She's Pissed: Aurora has a temper - which she has devoted much time and work to controlling, however it is VERY possible to shock her into losing that temper (See: Artemis Kaiser vs Aurora in HELLLuchalibre) and once she's lost that temper any real thoughts of winning fly out the window, smashing what pissed her off takes over and in the past it's cost her during title defenses and so on.
Did You REALLY Have To?: Spite - Aurora has used this as a motivational tool in the past, to do something because she was told she couldn't - but it can just as easily hamper her and cause her to lose the plot for sake of that 'middle finger'.
Target On Her Back: Because of Aurora's career she garners attention from people that want to prove themselves against her, and a lot of them want the 'worst version' of her... until they get it. At this stage in her career, she just wants to wrestle people she hasn't before, and have a little fun so as you can guess, that gets in the way.

FIGHTING INFO
Fighting Style(s)
(delete the ones that do not apply)
- Brawler: Your character relies on striking to pummel their opponent into submission.
- High Flier: Your character uses their body as a projectile, throwing themselves from dangerous heights in new and creative ways to best incapacitate their opponents.
- Luchador: Your character relies on chain wrestling and spectacular sequences of offence to confuse their opponent and wow the crowd.
- Technical: Your character is well versed in various holds, takedowns and suplexes - giving them a strong, mat based style.
Look, being frank. As a matchwriter, what you need to know: Aurora is fucking fast. We're not talking Quicksilver fast, especially considering her heading into her late twenties but goddamn. She is fast enough that if she tells you she's going to DDT you (along with her knowing about 99% of DDT's out there) it's gonna happen. She doesn't hesitate, and has incredible spatial awareness. Use that, it's fun.
Finishing Move(s)
1. Primary finisher: Ghostly Kiss DDT
Primary finisher description: Modified Rope-assisted Asai-style DDT in which the back of the opponent's head hits the mat after she flips them over with her momentum.

3. Submission finisher: The EVP (Extreme Vice Phenomenon)
Submission finisher description: Much like the Undertaker's Hells Gate, a modified gogoplata choke with her legs high on their upper back before her shin is slipped in front to push the shin into the throat and trachea with her hands locked behind their head.

10. Straight Jacket (Japanese stranglehold)
Preferred Weapon(s): Aurora has a black wooden Louisville Slugger named "Black Betty", but is looking to replace it after it was damaged by Dexter Jacobs
Preferred Match Type(s): Straightforward competition is a favorite, but she does enjoy cage matches and longs to be in just a plain vanilla elimination chamber match.
Disliked Match Type(s): Death Matches (though she's capable - see the Pentagram cage matches in PW, Aurora vs Artemis Kaiser II in PARAGON)
Why Your Character Competes
- Passion: Your character competes because they love wrestling, they love the crowd and the adrenaline of performing.
*Again, being honest - Aurora has already achieved all of the things she set out to do when she started. Record breaking everywhere she's been, etc etc. Right now, she's most interested in doing things she never had time to during those record setting title runs.

Attitude Toward Teamwork
- Selective: Your character will team with a close circle of friends/allies, but not with those from outside their group.
Attitude Toward Cheating
- Occasional: Your character may be tempted to bend the rules a little here or there, but will generally avoid it if possible.
Usually this is a "tit for tat" thing. They cheat, she escalates, etc

CHARACTER HISTORY/BIO
Aurora Jansen had always wanted to wrestle, joined her High School Wrestling team much to the dismay of the boys and coach and did better than expected, which led to problems for the girl; these included a Grade 2 concussion and assault before the school's Spring Dance along with the expected teasing from other students. This didn't deter Aurora, she paid for her gym time and later professional style wrestling training by working in the gym owned by the father of two of her few high school friends Morgan and Eric Böhmer, a former wrestler himself. Erlich Böhmer quickly took a liking to the young girl's determination and work ethic, and he refers to her as the greatest wrestler he ever trained. When her parents insisted she drop her training after her beloved Puri dae (Grandmother) passed away, they disowned her and kicked her out of the house. She was taken in and later adopted into the Cross Family, a family that's produced many second-gen wrestlers (and other athletes).
She expanded her training by learning from Lucien Fell in her earlier professional career as well. She took a hiatus of almost two years when the first company she was in folded, and cites personal issues in why she delayed a return. When she did return it was to Phoenix Wrestling where she began smashing records, first with a six month plus reign as Television Champion before she finally gained the goal she was told she'd never have - World Champion, Main Eventing shows on PPV after PPV, until she broke that record as well. Towards the end of that era she took time off to heal up some injuries sustained in a match and had her youngest daughter Nicoleta (she has an older adopted daughter named Rhiannon). That desire to compete was merely banked however and when she had the chance she was competing again.
When PW closed again, she simply began taking matches in various places that sparked her interest with people she'd longed to compete with - or who sought her out. Her trio of matches with Artemis Kaiser leaving great impact with her, and she points at her latest against Steph Stefano as one of her personal favorites where she changed her entrance music at long last to a new song, Deus In Absentia by Ghost after coming out to Cold by Static-X for years.
Most recently she has been engaged in intense training with friends and fellow wrestlers Shane Atwater and Stephanie Stefano, and has been noted in saying she wouldn't be adverse to working trios with them.
