WHAT BRINGS YOU TO UPRISING?
Minka was a Z-list celebrity as a child, earning attention on a pre-teen beauty pageant reality series when she stood up to/fought an abusive parent of another contestant. Her fame was fleeting, and soon she became more of a punchline as she struggled to stay in the public eye through different means. She took dancing, gymnastics, acting, and singing lessons in pusuit of that goal, though nothing panned out. Finally, SOMETHING happened 4 years ago that humbled Minka and she disappeared from the public eye. She buckled down and trained in combat sports, debuting on the indy wrestling scene as Minka Starr. After a failed attempt of success in another promotion, she has come to UPRISING to find success for the right reasons.
PERSONALITY OVERVIEW: Minka is a positive person with a great deal of empathy. She is very down to earth and friendly. She expects the best from herself and others, and has no problem calling people out who do not live up to her expectations.
STRENGTHS: Fast and acrobatic in ring. Has those 'educated' feet. Draws strength from the crowd. Idealistic (but NOT naive). Incorruptible.
WEAKNESSES: Has a flair for the dramatic when competing that can bite her in the ass. Also, she does not have a lot of respect for wrestling traditions, always questioning why things are the way they are, and demanding the sport "do better". This can make her a bit of a grind. Things 'smartened up' wrestlers accept as part of the business (cheating, beatdowns, unreasonable authority figures, etc) can leave her in a funk if they impact her negatively.
ALIGNMENT: Chaotic Good
WHY THEY'D BE CHEERED: She's a flashy high-flyer who fights fair and shows love for the fans.
WHY THEY'D BE BOOED: Her sermonizing can get on people's nerves, especially if they tend to favor the 'shades of grey' (bro) aspects of the sport. Wrestling purists might not appreciate her overly dramatic antics in-ring.
REASONS TO COMPETE:
- STEPPING STONE: Victory and success is a platform for Minka to point out the injustices of the sport and try to correct them.
- PASSION: All your character has ever wanted to do is wrestle. It's in their blood; their DNA. They eat, breathe and live this sport and for them it's a way of life.
ATTITUDE TOWARDS TEAMWORK:
- TOTAL TEAM PLAYER: Your character will team with anyone, even if they don't share a common interest or goal. Appreciates the benefits of friends and allies. She can and will call out her allies if they aren't following her moral compass, however.
TENDENCY TO CHEAT:
- Never
THEME SONG: 'Medieval Warfare'- Grimes
WRESTLING EXPERIENCE: Wrestling in the very minor leagues for a year. Had the proverbial 'cuppa coffee' in a major promotion
WRESTLING STYLE:
- THE SPORTS ENTERTAINER: Relies on their charisma and showmanship to mask their limited wrestling ability. They can fight, but not to the level of some of their more skilled peers.
- THE AERIALIST: Relies on speed and aerial prowess to overwhelm their foes. What they lack in size and brute strength, they make up for in agility and accuracy.
- THE SPOT MONKEY: Relies on shocking high spots, daredevil antics and dangerous risk taking to compensate for lack of technical wrestling ability. Will put everything on the line to entertain fans and overcome the challenger.
MATCH TENDENCIES: Got her roller skates on in-ring. Lots of kicks and dodging to slow an opponent down so they're an easier target for her high spots
BACKSTAGE TENDENCIES: Very friendly with fans and non-wrestling personnel. Has no problem button-holing authority figures and wrestlers she feels are 'doing wrong' and giving her two cents.
FIGHT-ENDING STYLE:
- OUT-WRESTLING: Beats the opponent using their preferred wrestling style.
- SUPERIOR STAMINA: Uses their superb conditioning to wait for the opponent to tire, before ending the fight on their terms.
IN-RING STRENGTHS:
- Fast: Quick and Nimble
- Kicks Above her Weight: Hits like a 'Missouri Mule'
- Babyface Fire: Draws strength from the crowd's support
IN-RING WEAKNESSES:
- Glass Cannon: Can't take a great deal of physical punishment
- Flair for the Dramatic: Will sometimes go for the cheap pop instead of the easy win
- Non-Technical: limited true grappling/submission skill

BACKSTAGE APPEARANCES: Do you want segments and/or backstage interactions to be written FOR YOU or would you prefer to submit your own?
- NO: I definitely want to write and submit my own segments and realize that the failure to do so will result in a lack of involvement in the ongoing plotlines and/or receiving push towards championships.
