DESCRIPTION OF PERSONAILITY: The best way to describe Violet would be, "eccentric"; sociopathic and methodical, she has a very dark presence about her but she isn't overly in-your-face about her feelings. She isn't terribly outspoken, but she's observant, mysterious, always like she's plotting from afar. If she didn't have such a unique look about her, you'd rarely know she was present until she wanted you to know. That being said, she has tendencies to flip at the tip of a hat, but you wouldn't know if it was just a bad day or if there's something deeper going on inside her head, like a mental disability or just a mood swing. She had a rather disturbed childhood, being brought up in an American inner-city school in West Linn where she had a hard time socializing with "normal" kids with "normal" upbringings - this caused a lot of violent upheaval as it was a proven fact that Violet could not be integrated into the normal school system. On a good day, she won't bother anybody unless you provoke her - and then it's a tongue-lashing that'll embarrass your unborn grandchildren. But on a bad day, or if she forgets to take her medication, it's guns a blazing.

A L L I A N C E

WRESTLER: Zero

REASONS: More-so than "ally", Violet would simply tolerate people like Zero based on the fact that he barely speaks, which is more than enough to qualify as somebody who wouldn't immediately irritate the edgy and unpredictable Violet.

A D V E R S A R I E S

WRESTLER: Raven MacDemare, Lord Blake

REASONS: People with bubbly and outgoing personalities are immediate enemies to Violet; those who create the energy of a "larger than life" being or those who are loud, obnoxious and entirely too enigmatic. These people are parasites to Violet, like alarm clocks or drawn shades on a sunny morning when you first wake up.

WRESTLING STYLE: She has a tendency to "overkill"; usually out for blood, high chance of disqualification whether or not it means she wins or loses. Normally, though, she's an all-out striker. You'll notice she's not much of a "flashy" wrestler, she doesn't have a grasp on a lot of professional moves, so she relies heavily on her striking background & general street fighting background for basic strikes.

WEAPON OF CHOICE: Lead pipe, if any.

FAVORITE MATCH TYPES: Street fights, No DQ.

DISLIKED MATCH TYPES: Tag-team.

IN-RING EXPERIENCE: She is making her professional debut.

IN-RING STRENGTHS: Aggressive; Calculated; Determined

IN-RING WEAKNESSES: Unaware; Inexperienced

IN-RING ATTITUDE: Violet is very one-track minded once she has a goal in front of her; it's complete and utter concentration, a tunnel-vision on the person in front of her. She ignores the thousands of fans behind her, but the issue becomes that once the match is done, Violet can't seem to shake the focus that falls over her and has a tendency to continue or try to continue far after the bell has rung. She has a "push & pressure" attitude; she keeps coming at you and refuses to back away.

B I O G R A P H Y

Violet Van Zant (born Shauna Violet Kennedy on June 6th, 1993) is a professional wrestler from the streets of West Linn, Oregon. Dubbed the "Oregon Gangster", Violet earned her nickname during her tenure at West Linn Public High School. Violet spent her childhood years in European hostels with her mother, who took Violet at a young age to escape the domestic abuse she was suffering at the hands of her live-in boyfriend. Violet's biological father is unknown. They spent the majority of Violet's childhood years in Portugal, where her mother had extended family whose ancestry dated back to voodoo practitioners and "white witches"; Violet's mother sought refuge with her extended family and took up these ancient practices as a coping mechanism to put a "curse" on her abusive boyfriend. Violet spent the majority of her developmental years around strong, quiet women, and thus never associated with any children or socialized with anybody outside of their family circle. She was homeschooled most of the time. When Violet was 15, she and her mother were notified of a deadly car accident involving her mother's ex-boyfriend, leaving the house in Oregon and a large inheritance to Violet's mother, who took Violet back to America to integrate her into the public school system. 


Violet struggled with basic english, math & science concepts due to her insufficient homeschooling and grew frustrated with her inability to communicate; she stopped attending classes and found herself exploring the streets of Oregon. Violet got mixed in with the wrong crowd, began using drugs, committing petty crimes, vandalizing public property and eventually beating kids up at school for lunch money, or simply to assert her social dominance since she was unable to dominate academically. Eventually, Violet and her friends decided to fight for money, and used the school grounds after dark as a meeting place for her makeshift fight club; charging an entry fee, an optional betting pool, and consolation money. She would often offer to fight the winner for bigger prize money.


Her violently lucrative efforts did not last long, however, and once Violet was in police custody it was decided that she would be put into a youth correctional program having been under 18 and a first-time offender. The program offered athletics for families who couldn't afford to put their children in things like dance or martial arts or team sports, so Violet was eventually forced into grappling and wrestling which offered the opportunity to travel to different states and compete for medals. Although she had no passion for it, Violet realized she had a talent for grappling, and continued with the program until she was 18 and no longer qualified as "troubled youth". Violet moved out with the money she had earned from wrestling competitions into a small apartment in the more "grudgy" area of West Linn, continued her athletic endeavours with things like judo and krav maga, but found no luck in competitions. When RSW held tryouts in Oregon, Violet was quick to bus across the city for her opportunity for a contract.
