Character Biography:
Kenzie came on the wrestling scene with one hope - she wanted to show everyone watching that it was possible to make it to the top the right way.
With a childhood living in a military family, Kenzie grew up on military bases across the country, and so it was easy to understand why a sense of honor instilled within her over the years. What wasn't easy was making connections with people since she knew she would just move away in a few months. Despite this, a constant theme in her life was the ability to watch wrestling late at night with her father whenever she got the chance. Whether it be on the couch or in person, Kenzie took every opportunity she had to spend time with him.
After graduating high school, Kenzie joined White Phoenix's Wrestling School instead of college against her parent's suggestions, and she's been hooked on it ever since. After graduating wrestling school, she joined several wrestling federations including most prominently Inferno Wrestling (IW) and New Generation Wrestling (NGW). All the while, she trained with some of the best fighters available such as Adrien Cochrane, Sasha Foote, Melissa Reave, Ashleigh Powell, Mistress Vivi, Justin Brooks, Jan van der Roost, Kenzi Grey and more.
With all that knowledge under her belt and even more to come, now she seeks to make a name for herself in The Grounds.
On Camera Personality: On camera, Kenzie is optimistic and determined to make a name for herself. She shows respect to those who deserve it and lets her passion guide her forward. Filled with confidence, she fights oppression and does her best to do the right thing. Occasionally, Kenzie will make mistakes, but she does her best to learn from them all.
Off Camera Character Personality: The one difference between the Kenzie that she shows in promos and live TV is the fact that sometimes she has doubts. It's her biggest weakness but she does her best to hide it from the public.
Other Notable Information: N/A
Gimmick: "You can make it to the top the right way."
Strengths:
1) MILITARY CONDITIONING — With a father who acted like a drill sergeant around the house, Kenzie was encouraged to train every morning as far back as she can remember. Living in military base after military base nearly all her life added to the fact that training has become a force of habit. Now that Kenzie is an adult, she trains even harder every morning to compete with her upcoming opponents to the point of it becoming nearly excessive work ethic.
2) MARTIAL ARTISTRY — With a unique fighting style that consists of a hybrid between Lucha Libre high flying and Muay Thai Kickboxing, Kenzie employs unmatched agility and military precision to capitalize in a match. Over time, other influences are added to her repertoire such as capoeira, jujutsu, and parkour
. She is constantly implementing new skills whenever she has the time.
3) THE ART OF EIGHT LIMBS — Muay Thai Kickboxing is essentially the combination of fists, elbows, knees, and shins. With powerful strikes and expert conditioning, Kenzie has relied on Muay Thai as the basis of her fighting style as a way to put her strengths to good use. This unique fighting style along with the ever expanding influences that get added over time mean that Kenzie isn't an easy opponent to prepare for.
4) MOVING TARGET — Kenzie is adept at maneuvering around the ring with grace and flexibility. This means she can dodge attacks, reverse grapples and fly through the air with ease as long as she has enough energy. This evasion technique is crucial.
5) CROWD CONTROL — Feeding on the crowd's reaction, Kenzie uses the passion of the audience to strengthen her willpower.
Weaknesses:
1) GLASS CANNON — The reason she relies on dodging so much is that her body is frailer than most. Even with all the heart in the world, should Kenzie be caught with a powerful move like a single finisher or anything just as devastating, she's out cold.
2) WALKING AMONG GIANTS — Because of her small stature, Kenzie cannot lift most opponents. Because of this, Kenzie decided early on that she would opt out of lifting opponents altogether and focus on non-lifting grapples like DDTs as well as powerful strikes and high-flying abilities. This became the basis of her fighting style.
3) CLOSET DEFEATIST — When faced with a momentous challenge, Kenzie will occasionally doubt herself. She'll most likely hide it from the public but this feeling can occasionally cause her to hesitate and lose focus during a particularly challenging fight against a strong competitor.
4) SUPPORT SYSTEM — When she debuted, Kenzie had her best friend Spencer Walsh do the talking for her in promotional videos. While Kenzie has grown to speak for herself these days, she still clings to her friends as a way to make herself a better competitor and erase any nagging doubt she might have when preparing for a fight. Without this support system, Kenzie would likely not do well standing on her own.

Move Sets:
(Please be as descriptive as possible as this will be used for match writing)
Wrestling Styles: High-Flying Muay Thai Kickboxing (see above).
In-Ring Personality:
Dodging is a priority with heavy strikes and some non-lifting grapples peppered throughout the match. These strikes consist of knees, elbows, punches and kicks to the opponent with quick combos. Her fighting style is less about pure power and more about technique. With quick feet, fast reflexes and precise military precision, Kenzie uses everything in her toolbelt to eventually raise her arm as the winner.
Kenzie isn't afraid to use weapons when the match rules give her permission, but otherwise, Kenzie will diligently follow the rules. Occasionally, Kenzie might hesitate in a momentous match such as a championship opportunity or something similar given the fact that her opponent is an established star with a big reputation. While these bouts of doubt might not last two seconds, it could cost her the victory (see above),
Favorite Moves:
01) apron roundhouse kick into the inside
02) flowing DDT
03) handspring back elbow
04) hurricanrana driver
05) Muay Thai strikes
06) Pele kick
07) ropewalk shooting star plancha
08) running dropkick

10) step up enzuigiri
Trademark Moves:

2) diving meteora - A diving double knee drop to a standing opponent or a seated opponent.
Finishing Moves:
1) Jackknife Kick - A 540 roundhouse kick to a standing opponent after a wake-up taunt. It can be applied as the finale of a striking combo, during a sprint, or out of nowhere. After a wake-up taunt is the most practical. Consider this a modified superkick.
2) Paragon Deathlock - inverted bridging Indian deathlock

Entrance:
The lights dim. A few rogue spotlights cast over the enthusiastic crowd as "Army" by Zayne Wolf howls over the sound system. As Kenzie Rydell stood at the top of the stage with a wistful grin on her face, the crowd erupted in cheers as she held onto the moment. Fixing her bomber jacket, she pointed towards the cheap seats with a confident stance and let the admiration rain down on her as she made her way down the ramp.
Making her way to the ring, Kenzie flashed her hazel hues towards several people in attendance. Once she reached the bottom of the isle, a brief weary expression crossed her features. One after the other, she made her way up the steel steps and shot the crowd another proud grin once she made it to the top. Walking across the ring apron, her palm clutching the top rope until she made it to the middle, she turned to face the stage. Spreading her arms like a phoenix, the crowd's emotions audibly intensified, and once the Muay Thai specialist stepped over the second rope, she handed her jacket to someone in the corner and prepared in the corner for the match to begin.
