Character Name: Olivia "Olive" Adler
Nickname: The Shrike
Hometown: Rye, New York
Height: 5'8
Weight: 142 lbs
Alignment: Heel
In-Ring Style: Keeping with her self-proclaimed moniker, Olive's wrestling style can be charitably described as pragmatic. It can also be realistically described as vindictive and opportunistic. Slow-paced and relentlessly dull to watch, her typical gameplan involves agitating opponents into making stupid mistakes and capitalizing with grazing strikes or quick transitions into submission holds.
Bio: The middle children of film-industry execs, Olivia Adler and her twin brother Cassidy wanted for nothing. Though she was a fastidious, tightly-wound overachiever from a young age, Olivia found her true calling in creative endeavors, particularly in the dramatic and cinematic arts. A devout theatre girl throughout her adolescence, she had plans to head out west for film school after graduation and make it as a director, a feat which would no doubt be aided by her parental connections.
However, during her junior year of high school, herelder brother had a falling out with their parents, causing him to be disowned. With the heir to the family business gone, Olivia's parents turned to her, the more responsible of the twins, to replace him. With her entire future changed overnight, Olivia graduated a semester early and enrolled first at Columbia for her Bachelor's and then UChicago for her J.D.
This wouldn't last, however, and she dropped out after her first semester of law school amidst a nervous breakdown. Insisting she's just taking a 'gap year', Olivia nonetheless found herself wrapped up in her twin brother's plan to enter the wrestling business, recording the experience for a Youtube vlog.
Despite their lack of respect for the sport and non-existent training, the pair almost immediately caught fire in Action Wrestling's tag team division, sporting a perfect 8-0 record as a team through the first five months of their careers (10-0 in tag team matches in general, thanks to the random partner conceit of the Battlebowl tournament), and claiming the AW Tag Team Championships from the presumed top dogs of the division, the supergroup of KOS and Crow McMorris, known as Kill or Cure. That said, as a singles competitor Olive's track record is much less smooth. Sporting only one win in four (non-battle royal) matches as an individual, it would appear that the more heavily promoted of the so-called Twin Gods is much more codependent than once presumed.
Attire: A pastel pink sleeveless top, black leatherette tights, and black boots. Her left hand and wrist are taped, going halfway up her forearm (often times some inflammatory remarks about her opponents are written on the tape).
Theme song: Beach House — Space Song
Pic Base: Rachel Grate
Entrance:
The dream-like synths of "Space Song" by Beach House play over the PA as the lights dim and, one-by-one, turn green. As the tones rise in both pitch and volume, and the percussion slowly fades in as well, the lights likewise begin to gradually brighten until the main riff kicks in. Olive Adler emerges from the back, seemingly spaced-out with a wide, dorky grin on her face as the audience hurls jeers at her. Holding her taped hand up for the camera, she saunters down the ramp, singing along to her theme music once the vocals start.
Adeline Floyd: Making her way to the ring, from Rye, New York. Weighing in at one hundred, forty-two pounds. She is one half of the so-called 'Twin Gods', Olive "The Shrike" Adler!
The crowd continues to boo as she reaches ringside, making no effort to acknowledge their distaste as she ascends the ring steps and enters the ring under the middle rope.
Favorite moves:
Pronating Wristlock —> Repeated kicks to the sternum
Pronating Wristlock —> Sit-out Armbreaker

Repeated kicks to the knee/thigh
Feint Roundhouse Kick —> Leg Sweep
Feint Leg Sweep —> Jumping Uppercut
Abdominal Stretch, accompanied by grinding her elbow into an opponent's ribcage
Rolling Elbow
Basement Dropkick
Standing Hammerlock —> Russian Legsweep
Swinging Neckbreaker
Eye gouging
Fingerlocks
Frankensteiner (typically used as a counter)
Scorpion Kick (typically used as a counter)
Pulling guard
Signature spots:
'Check the Receipts' — Raking a corner-trapped opponent across the eyes/nose with her taped forearm
'Meet Defeat' — Running Face Wash
'Adlerall' — Switchblade Kick
'Choke's on You' — Rope-assisted Chokehold
(unnamed but significant spots)
Grinding her boot into the face of a prone opponent
Repeated elbow strikes to an opponent seated in the corner
Open-hand slap
Biting her own unprotected hand when the ref isn't looking to get her opponent admonished
Diving Double Foot Stomp
Roundhouse Kick to a seated opponent
Finisher(s):
Submissions
(Olive is a surprisingly proficient submission grappler without a real tried and true number one hold. Any hold she cinches in has the potential to end the match and she'll look for one any time the opportunity presents itself — as well as when they don't. If she wins, there's a 90% chance* it'll be via some hold.)
*For the other 10%, be it out of frustration, desperation, or convenience, consider this:
